Maritime Starlink data plans compared

Three plan families cover almost every vessel we serve. Here is how they compare — and how to pick.

Global Priority — fixed monthly allowance

A monthly bucket of priority ocean data (50 / 100 / 200 / 250 / 500 GB) plus unlimited standard data. Best value per GB for vessels with a predictable routine: fishing boats, charter yachts, working crews.

• Priority data works everywhere at sea, at full speed
• When the bucket runs out you stay online on standard data
• Need more? Opt-in data is billed per GB, or add a one-off booster (+50/+100/+250 GB)

PAYG — Pay As You Go

A small monthly base fee plus a per-GB rate for what you actually use. No lock-in. Ideal for irregular seasons, deliveries, or owners who sail a few weeks a year.

• You never pay for unused allowance
• Heavy months cost more than a fixed plan — watch your usage in the portal

VSAT — Unlimited (reduced speed)

A flat monthly price for unlimited data at reduced speed (up to ~1 Mbps down / 0.5 Mbps up). Perfect as an always-on backup, for telemetry, messaging and email — or for crews on a strict budget.

How to choose

• Predictable monthly usage → Global Priority sized to your average
• Occasional / seasonal use → PAYG
• Always-on, budget-first → VSAT
• Still unsure? Start on PAYG for a month, check your real usage in the portal, then switch — plans can be changed monthly, effective the 1st.
