Satmodo offers four monthly global service plans as well as six prepaid plans. With ten different options that all provide low airtime rates and require no commitment, global coverage is the connectivity you can rely upon as you sail the world’s seas.
Fleet One Coastal is the best choice for recreational sailors and small regional fishing boat operators who only need occasional satellite service. It’s designed for times when these users travel beyond cellular range and need seamless voice and data capabilities. Smaller vessels (under 500 gross tonnages) have the option to utilize the Fleet One Coastal service.

With the coastal service, all land and key coastal areas can connect with both voice and data, whereas out-to-sea communication is limited to voice only. This is an important factor to consider when deciding between the global and coastal options.
For the coastal coverage service, Satmodo offers 11 different options. For those looking to pay monthly, there are 5 separate options to meet the needs of any user. The prepaid options allow near-shore vessel operators to pay for data ahead of time in order to use only what they need. This type of flexible pricing allows all Fleet One users to get the coverage they need for seamless on-boat communication.
