Starlink Marine Installation & Service
High-speed internet from the sandbar to the canyons. We install, power, and support Starlink on sportfish, center-console, and luxury boats — mounted clean, wired right, and integrated with the rest of your electronics.
Marine Electronics, Installed by Certified Experts
Built for the Boat, Not Bungee-Corded to It
Starlink is easy to buy and easy to install badly. Loose mounts, exposed cables, and cigarette-lighter power adapters are the most common reasons we see connections drop offshore. A proper marine install makes it something you never have to think about.
Clean, Permanent Mounting
Hard-mounted to your T-top, hardtop, tower, or radar arch with marine-grade hardware, sealed penetrations, and a placement plan that keeps the dish clear of radar beams, outriggers, and antennas.
Proper DC Power
Dedicated, fused circuits sized to the hardware, with a switch at the helm — so Starlink runs off the boat's own electrical system without overloading it or draining the house bank overnight.
Whole-Boat Network
Marine Wi-Fi coverage from the cockpit to the cabin, wired connections where they make sense, and integration with the rest of your electronics network.
Local Service & Support
When something stops working before a tournament or a Bahamas run, you call the person who installed it — not a support ticket queue.
Choosing the Right Starlink Kit
The right hardware depends on the boat, the crew, and how far you run. We'll recommend a kit during the site survey — here's how the two most common marine setups compare.
Starlink Mini
Best for: Center consoles, bay boats, and smaller sportfish
- —Compact dish with built-in Wi-Fi router
- —Low power draw — runs on 12V DC with the right power solution
- —Fixed or quick-release mounting for owners who move it between boats
- —Ideal for day trips, tournaments, and occasional crossings
Starlink Flat High Performance
Best for: Larger sportfish, express, and luxury yachts
- —Built for permanent, in-motion installation on a vessel
- —Wider field of view and stronger performance in rough conditions
- —Better suited to multiple users, streaming, and video calls
- —Pairs with an upgraded marine router and access points for larger boats
Starlink hardware, service plans, and coverage are provided by Starlink and change over time. We'll help you choose a current plan that fits how and where you use your boat.
How a Starlink Install Works
01
Consult & Site Survey
We come to your boat, talk through how you use it, and survey mounting locations, cable routes, and your electrical system. You get a clear recommendation on hardware and a written quote.
02
Mount & Route
The dish is mounted where it gets the clearest view of the sky. Cable runs are routed through the hardtop or tower and into the console or cabin — protected, secured, and out of sight.
03
Power & Network
We wire a dedicated, fused DC circuit, install any router or access-point upgrades, and set up Wi-Fi so coverage reaches everywhere the crew actually spends time.
04
Activate & Sea Trial
We help activate and configure your Starlink account, test performance at the dock and on the water, and walk you through the app, power-down settings, and day-to-day use.

Starlink Marine FAQ
Do you install Starlink on boats in Palm Beach and Martin County?
Yes. Advanced Marine Tech installs Starlink Mini and Starlink Flat High Performance systems on sportfish, center-console, and luxury boats throughout Palm Beach and Martin County, including Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, Stuart, Hobe Sound, and Boca Raton. We come to your marina, dock, or slip.
Should I get the Starlink Mini or the Flat High Performance for my boat?
It depends on the size of the boat, how many people will be online, and how you run it. The Starlink Mini is a great fit for center consoles and smaller boats with modest power budgets. The Flat High Performance is built for permanent in-motion installs and is the better choice for larger sportfish and yachts with more users and heavier data needs. We'll recommend the right kit during the site survey.
Does Starlink work offshore and in the Bahamas?
Starlink offers maritime and mobile service plans designed for use on the water, including offshore and in-motion use, and service is available in the Bahamas. Coverage and plan terms are set by Starlink and change over time, so we'll walk you through the current options that match how far offshore you run and how you plan to use it.
How is Starlink powered on a boat?
We wire Starlink to a dedicated, properly fused DC circuit with a switch at the helm, using a power solution matched to the specific hardware. That avoids the unreliable cigarette-lighter adapters and inverter workarounds that often cause dropouts and drain batteries.
Where should the Starlink dish be mounted on a center console or sportfish?
The dish needs the clearest possible view of the sky, so it is usually mounted on top of the T-top, hardtop, or tower. We plan placement around your radar, outriggers, antennas, and tower structure so the dish isn't obstructed and doesn't interfere with your other electronics.
Can you fix or upgrade a Starlink system someone else installed?
Yes. We troubleshoot and service existing Starlink installations — dropped connections, power problems, poor Wi-Fi coverage, and obstruction issues — and can convert portable setups into clean, permanent installs.
How long does a Starlink marine installation take?
Most center-console installs are completed in a single day. Larger boats with tower routing, router upgrades, or multiple Wi-Fi access points can take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
