How to watch TV onboard your superyacht.

Accessing onboard TV and other entertainment services while at sea be a minefield – understanding which system you need for what channels; what’s accessible in which regions; and if streaming over IP, how to ensure your airtime isn’t being hammered by crew catching up on the latest episode of Below Deck while you’re sending last minute emails before the guests arrive.

Such are the stresses of the superyacht captain, or those out enjoying a charter over the summer months. As half of Europe is currently enthralled by the long-awaited European Championships, we’re all reminded of the joys of watching sporting events with friends. Or, gathering around the big screen to watch that all important final episode of this year’s TV sensation. Giant HD screens, cinema quality audio, and the friendly banter of your nearest and dearest. Nothing unites – or divides – a group quite like the excitement of on-screen entertainment.

So, how do you select the right maritime satellite TV options to keep your guests happy? Especially when you’re trying not to sail out of TV beam footprints or blow your VSAT airtime or 4G budget? How can you prevent the crew chewing up precious bandwidth while your guests are streaming HD movies on Netflix? The answer is simple: you let the experts manage it for you!
