Sirius XM radio. Chances are you think about it when you’re in your car, and hardly ever after that. The technology is baked into most new car entertainment systems and you probably got a free trial of it when you bought the car. Then, the trial lapsed. Some folks really love Sirius XM, and others have found Spotify or other streaming options to be a better bet. DISH subscribers get it as part of their programming package, too.
But did you know that Sirius XM has services specifically for marine? Not only that, it does things you just never realized it could do.
Everything you know about Sirius XM…
With Sirius XM, you get CD-quality audio and tons of content. It’s delivered through a combination of satellite and land-based antennas that cover the entire US and even go 150 miles out to sea. We’re talking about hundreds of channels of content, out there where you can’t get cell service, satellite TV, and sometimes can’t even get satellite internet. Unless you’re literally crossing the ocean, you’d find it hard to get out of Sirius XM’s service area.
…and so much more that you didn’t
But did you know that Sirius XM offers marine customers services that they don’t offer to land-based customers? There’s so much out there that you’ll want to check out every possible option.
Marine weather
Getting good weather information can be a matter of life or death when you’re out on the water. You can rely on your cell phone if you’re a few miles from shore, but go much further and you won’t get signal. Sirius XM’s marine weather gives you the features you need, like:
- Localized weather forecasts
- Radar and lightning information
- Surface temperatures
- Wind and wave information
Unless you have a full-on weather station on your boat, you’re going to want the peace of mind that Sirius XM’s weather services provide. You absolutely do not want to set out on a three-hour tour and end up trapped on an island with a moron in a bucket hat. With good weather information, it just won’t happen.
Fish mapping
Yeah, you can use a fish finder to see what’s below you, but what about trying to find out where to look? If you’ve ever spent time trawling around randomly just looking for fish, you know this is probably the least fun part of fishing. With Sirius XM’s Fish Mapping service, you get real-time information on where those fish are likely to be, including:
- Fishing recommendations
- Weed lines
- Sea Surface Height Anomaly
- Sea Surface Temperature Contours
- Sea Surface Temperature Front Strength
- 30m Subsurface Sea Temperatures
- Plankton Concentration Contours
- Plankton Front Strength
In other words, everything you need to confidently find the fish you’re so anxious to catch. Whether you’re a part-time fisherman or the captain of a fishing vessel, you’ll want this kind of technology to make sure you’re not wasting time out on the water.
