Wi-Fi on the yacht rental in Monaco
If the yacht for rent has Wi-Fi, it will be included in the rental price. However, the quality of the connection is dependent on the location and size of the yacht. For example, if the boat is in a marina with a strong signal the Wi-Fi will be much better than when you are further out to sea. The more expensive systems offer a combination of router, antenna and booster to improve internet coverage.
One of the most important things a charterer will want to know when booking a yacht is what type of connectivity to expect on board. There are many different options that depend on the type of yacht rental in Monaco you are looking to book and the type of sailing holiday you are hoping to have.
Some yachts for hire have wireless onboard, which is great if you are planning to spend your time relaxing and using the boat as a base to explore the local area, rather than heading out into open water. This type of yacht will usually have a basic router that you can connect to your mobile devices using a password that is provided on booking. If you are planning to use the yacht for work or other activities, then a more extensive system may be needed.
Do you provide Wi-Fi on the yacht rental in Monaco?
One such option is a satellite yacht that uses a contract with a provider to give you megabit speeds. These systems are installed by a specialised company and can be expensive, but if you need high-speed data access while on the move, then this is the way to go.
A less costly option is a router with an external antenna that can extend the range of your Wi-Fi. For example, the Rogue Wave or Digital Yacht WL70 can extend your range by thousands of feet and are easy to mount. They have a thread that fits a standard VHF antenna and are powered via USB or ethernet connections. For a more substantial system, you will need to add an interior booster/modem and this will often be hardwired to the antenna installation.
There are also a few more expansive systems that can automatically use public Wi-Fi signals when available and switch to 4G cellular networks when they are not. These can run up to $1,000 (plus airtime plan costs) but can make for a much more reliable solution.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy a memorable yacht charter in Monaco. You can select a skipper and crew-equipped yacht or choose to charter a bareboat and sail with just yourself. You can filter boats by price to find the right yacht for your needs, or narrow your search further by selecting a particular length, manufacturer and model of vessel.
