Don't listen to the ignorance and nay saying regarding internet service
while at sea. Several providers have sail mail. Many marinas offer high
speed internet on a global basis.
Research what you need. Keep in mind the baud rate drop is substantial when
at sea. VHF sail mail will keep you in touch with a laptop. stick to text
messages and it will allow downloads of weather data.

Hi,

I am searching for some good source of information about installing a
satellite internet connection on sailing boats.
What's the best solution?
Is there a website/forum/group that is specifically talking about this?

Thanks a lot for your help

All it takes is MONEY, and lots of it, for either expensive hardware, or
expensive SAT Time, or BOTH......

This was the same kind of answer one would get 10 years ago asking for
a flat panel 19" display or for a car navigation system.
things that you can buy now for less than 500euro (maybe because
somebody started talking about?)
I am sorry for being polemic but I can't get an answer other than the
"wow, what you want to do it's really expensive!" one.
The reason I am asking this is because I really like sailing and at the
same time I would like to help a friend of mine that asked this - maybe
just as curiosity - or maybe just to know how it works.
Internet satellite systems are getting widely used for cars, caravans
and TV vans for example; I guess the most complicated thing to make
them work on a boat would be for the boat movements (tilting, etc) but
I can't find any good source of information about.
thanks anyway..
