Optional Starlink Wi-Fi on Blue Sky Cabo Charters
- Wi-Fi is available as an optional upgrade for $75–$100 USD per charter, depending on the number of people onboard and the length of the charter
- Blue Sky Cabo offers this service for clients who want to fish, charter, and still stay connected for personal or business reasons while offshore
Why There Is a Wi-Fi Fee
- Starlink is satellite internet, not standard marina or hotel Wi-Fi
- True Maritime Starlink plans typically range from $10,000 to $100,000 USD per month
- These plans are designed for large yachts, superyachts, and commercial ships
- That level of service is not realistic to include for free on fishing charters
- Blue Sky Cabo uses a land-based Mexico Starlink plan instead
- Mexico Starlink plans are more expensive than U.S. land plans
- Using land plans at sea creates variable, usage-based data charges
- Offshore movement and heavy usage increase monthly Starlink costs
- Client email, phone background apps, podcast downloads, voice calls, photos, video uploads, and social media consume large amounts of data
- Multiple devices onboard increase data consumption quickly
- Starlink pricing is not a fixed monthly fee
- Monthly costs change based on total guest usage
How Blue Sky Cabo Handles This
- Blue Sky Cabo has invested in Starlink hardware and service to meet client demand
- Wi-Fi is offered as an optional luxury upgrade
- The Wi-Fi fee is cost recovery only, not a profit center
- Speed and availability vary offshore and are not guaranteed
Bottom Line
- Maritime-grade satellite internet is expensive and usage-based
- Blue Sky Cabo provides optional Wi-Fi using the most practical solution available
- The fee reflects real satellite data costs, not convenience pricing
- Offshore Wi-Fi is a premium service, not free internet
