Starlink installer in Greenwich, CT.

Greenwich's fleet runs the full range — 30-foot center consoles and express cruisers at the smaller end, mid-size sailing yachts at Riverside and Indian Harbor, and flybridge motor yachts in the 50 to 80+ foot range at Belle Haven, Beacon Point, and Greenwich Harbor. We install on all of them. What ties them together is the standard the install has to meet.

Aesthetic standards are higher. An exposed cable that might pass on a quick weekend job is unacceptable on a Greenwich boat — regardless of size. Every Helm Greenwich install is run with the assumption that the owner — or the captain on their behalf — will inspect the work after handoff. Cable routing goes through existing bulkhead passes, color-matched ties at consistent intervals, no visible runs from any seat on the boat. The mount looks like it came with the boat.

Existing networks are more complex. Greenwich boats — even mid-size ones — more often already run Peplink or Cradlepoint multi-WAN routers, mesh Wi-Fi, multiple chartplotters, security cameras, and remote monitoring. Starlink doesn't replace this stack; it slots into it. We wire it in as primary WAN, keep cellular as failover, and reconfigure the router policy so the boat fails over cleanly when the satellite link is briefly obstructed.

The work scales with the vessel. A 35-foot center console at Old Greenwich Yacht Club has different routing paths than a 70-foot flybridge at Belle Haven. Mini installs go fast and clean. Standard and Maritime jobs run longer and price the longer cable runs and deeper integration in directly. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work starts — no surprise change orders.

The shape of the work is the same for every install — site survey, optimal hardware mounting, hidden cable routing, full network integration, end-to-end testing, owner walkthrough. Greenwich-specific details shift around inside that scope based on the boat.

For a 35-foot center console or express cruiser at Old Greenwich Yacht Club or Greenwich Water Club, a typical Helm install runs about 3 hours onboard. The dish goes on the hardtop or T-top with marine-grade 316 stainless mounting and correct sealants. Cable runs cleanly to the helm console; the router lives in a dry locker; mesh Wi-Fi covers the cabin and cockpit. Owner walkthrough at the slip, done.

For a 55-foot flybridge motor yacht at Indian Harbor or Belle Haven, a typical day runs about 5 hours onboard. The dish goes on the radar arch. Cable enters through the existing arch base, runs down the radar mast cavity, crosses inside the flybridge headliner, drops behind the helm bulkhead, and terminates at the existing router or a new Peplink we install on request. Mesh Wi-Fi access points get verified across both decks; dead zones are resolved before we leave the slip. The owner — or the captain — gets a complete walkthrough of the system, the failover behavior, and the post-install support line.

For a sailing yacht at Riverside or Indian Harbor, the geometry shifts. Most sailboat installs use an aft-arch or pushpit-pole mount; masthead mounts are an option for boats without an arch but add complexity, cable run, and work aloft. We size the job from the on-boat survey and price it before any work starts — no surprises.

For yachts above 70 feet with crew operations, the install often splits across two visits. Day one is the dish, mount, and cable runs to the helm. Day two is full network integration, mesh AP placement, owner and crew walkthrough. This isn't padding — it's quality control. The job is done when it's done right.

Three line items, every time. Hardware (one-time), service plan (monthly, paid to SpaceX), installation labor (one-time, fixed). Helm publishes installation pricing — there's no "call for a quote."

• Mini ($1,395) — the right tier for smaller Greenwich boats: 30 to roughly 35-foot center consoles, day boats, and tenders running in protected water. Compact antenna, simple deck or hardtop mount, short cable runs. Roam plans start at $50/month.
• Standard ($1,595) — the most common Greenwich tier, fitting boats in the 35 to 60 foot range. Flat High Performance antenna, hardtop or arch mounting, full network integration. Roam plans start at $50/month for inshore use; Mobile Priority for in-motion use starts at $250/month.
• Maritime ($2,795) — for vessels that genuinely run offshore (Block Island runs, Bermuda deliveries, charter operations) or for owners who want the most rugged hardware available. Includes additional cable routing, power integration, and redundancy planning.
• Fleet (custom) — for owners with multiple vessels at the same Greenwich yacht club, or for marinas standardizing connectivity across their member fleet. Volume pricing, single proposal, consistent install standard across every boat.

Most Greenwich boats sit in Standard, with Mini covering smaller cruisers and Maritime reserved for genuine offshore use. The honest call: if your boat doesn't routinely run more than 20 to 30 nautical miles offshore, Standard delivers the same usable performance as Maritime at meaningfully lower hardware and monthly cost. We'll tell you that on the inquiry call. The full hardware-decision logic lives in our Mini vs. Standard vs. Maritime guide; the full cost breakdown is in the cost guide.
