SpaceX presents us with its first Internet tariff specially designed for yachts, it is called Starlink Maritime and it costs more than 5,000 dollars per month.
If the dream of your life was power telework from your yachtnow you are a little closer to get it thanks to the fashion man in the technology industry.
We say that supposing beforehand that if you have a yacht it is because you also have a large checking accountand it is that the new Internet service for boats that SpaceX has just presented to us costs no less than about $5,000 a month.
Elon Musk’s company SpaceX introduces Starlink Maritime to bring the Internet to yachts.
Not only that, because as our Business Insider colleagues told us, at such a rate we have to add an additional $10,000 hardware billdevices that Elon Musk’s own company makes available to customers for facilitate the adoption of Starlink Maritimewhich is the name of this newly created service.
Of course, these prices include the two high-performance satellite dishes that are necessary for its operation, and promises stable download speeds of up to 350 megabits per second even on the high seas.
At this point and if you want to compare it, it is worth remembering now that the service of Starlink for your homes would cost you 99 euros per month in Spain, to which should be added that One-time hardware payment, which in this case would be 639 eurosincluding in the kit everything necessary to put the satellite Internet connection to work.
The difference, as you will see, is very noticeable, although there are differences in the equipment and its costsBesides of such an obvious change that exists in the target audience to which Starlink Maritime is directed, its needs and economic possibilities.
As Elon Musk usually does, the popular businessman took to Twitter to comment on the launch of the new SpaceX service, stating about those specific high performance and expensive antennas that “they are very important to maintain the quality of the connection in rough seas and strong storms”.

In fact, it is that the North American company affirms that among the benefits of Starlink Maritime is its great performance in extreme conditionscan be installed in any type of ship from large merchant ships, container ships, oil extraction platforms and even yachts or pleasure boats.
They say that the quality of the connection is assured thanks to its constellation of more than 2,000 satellitesand that not only the 250,000 Starlink users will be able to speak well of the service since they themselves have been testing and using no major problems for film and broadcast their rocket landings in high sea.
Interesting, like everything the genius from Pretoria does, although this time with a prohibitive price and only for customers with ample wallets… What do you think?
