Starlink High Performance on a vessel with marine satellite gear

Local and Global Priority

Starlink Maritime in the Maldives

In-motion satellite internet with the Performance (Gen 2) kit, listed at up to 400+ Mbps. Local Priority covers usage within Maldives borders. Global Priority is for vessels that need to go further. Ride provisions the terminal, marine install, and optional managed support from Malé.

Built for Maldivian waters, and beyond

Liveaboards, safari boats, ferries, yachts, and commercial hulls now treat satellite internet as operations infrastructure. The kit listed for this class is Performance (Gen 2) from MVR 23,999 (router not included). Ride adds marine mounts, cabling, LAN integration, and a local desk - those charges are added on your quotation.

Both Priority classes include network priority, 24/7 prioritized support, a public IP, a telemetry dashboard, and a published 99.9% SLA. The difference is where the vessel is allowed to use the data.

Starlink bonded

Combine two antennas into a single high-speed network for vessels that have outgrown one terminal. Ride designs the bond, failover, and traffic policy so the crew never has to think about which dish is active.

  • Higher aggregate throughput on one logical network
  • Automatic failover if a path drops
  • Traffic policy set once, not per dish
