Why the Sound is different

Short runs, tight marinas, real weather.

Long Island Sound is not open ocean. Most owners never go more than a few miles offshore, and most marinas sit in protected inlets where cell service is passable at the dock and useless five miles out. That changes what a good install looks like. Cable runs are shorter. Obstruction mapping matters less for pitch-and-roll and more for bridge clearance and overhead wiring at marinas. Weather windows are narrower than in the tropics — we plan around them.

The practical result: most Sound installs land in our Basic or Standard tier. The dish goes on a hardtop, flybridge, or short arch. The cable enters through an existing gland or a new one we fit and seal to marine-grade standard. The router and POE injector live in a dry locker or helm compartment. The whole job is usually done in a single visit.

What a Sound install looks like

Six steps. One clean handoff.

Every install follows the same scope, scaled to your vessel. Site survey first — we assess electrical, existing network, and mounting geometry before we touch anything. Then optimal hardware mounting: hardtop, flybridge, arch, or radar pole, with marine-grade waterproofing and vibration damping. Cable routing is clean and hidden — through bulkheads and behind headliners, color-matched ties, zero visible wires on deck.

Full network integration comes next: Starlink tied into your onboard systems, mesh Wi-Fi configured, the Starlink app set up on your phone. Then end-to-end testing — speed, coverage, and reliability verified across every part of the vessel. And finally the owner walkthrough: how to manage the system, what to expect underway, and how to reach us if you ever need anything.

Installing on a sailboat? The geometry is different — masthead, spreader, or aft arch — and we break it down in detail on the sailboat installation page.

Common questions

Long Island Sound specifics.

Most Sound installations fall into our Basic tier at $950 to $1,450. Flybridge or arch work lands in the Standard tier at $1,500 to $2,250. Multi-deck routing and mast or radar-pole work is Complex at $2,500 to $4,000. Fleet pricing starts at $3,000 per vessel with volume discounts.

Our primary radius covers Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, and the Connecticut north shore, across to Mamaroneck, Port Washington, Huntington, Oyster Bay, and Sag Harbor on the New York side. Same-day round-trip is standard within that radius. Travel outside the primary area is quoted case by case.

We install year-round. Off-season installs on the hard are often cleaner than in-water work, since we have full access to the underside of hardtops and the cable runs behind bulkheads. Many owners prefer to be connected and tested by the first warm weekend.

Yes for anything beyond a few miles offshore, and for streaming or video calls even in harbor. Cellular on the Sound is serviceable near the coast but drops fast past two to three miles out, especially mid-Sound between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson. Starlink Maritime holds speeds in the 100–200 Mbps range with no dependence on tower distance.

Boats in the 30–42 ft range typically take 2.5 to 4 hours. 43–60 ft vessels take 4 to 6 hours. 61–80 ft and up often split across two visits to keep the quality standard. We respond to inquiries within 24 hours and usually schedule within the same week.
