In a very real way, nothing much has changed in the world of boats in thousands of years. They’re made of something that floats, they displace water, and they go from place to place. To that degree, a Viking from the 11th century would feel right at home on one of today’s cabin cruisers. But, of course, we all know that technology changes everything, and that included boating as well.
Over the years, you’ve taken the time to keep your boat up to date in a lot of ways. You added GPS, which was a huge change. You might have added some other creature comforts too, including satellite television in the 2000s.
But, it’s time to talk about more upgrades. You don’t want to be left back in the Dark Ages, do you?
First let’s talk about satellite TV
Satellite TV is still a great option for boats. I’m sure you have at least one friend who thinks that live TV is “so 20th century” but let’s look at the facts. Millions upon millions of people still enjoy live TV and the biggest live TV provider in the world is DIRECTV Satellite. It’s not going anywhere.
If you have an older satellite antenna, it’s time to find out what your options are. A lot of those older antennas only supported standard definition blurryvision. Today we can do a lot better. You can get HD and 4K on your boat with a simple upgrade. It’s worth finding out what’s available.
But of course, internet
Maybe you’ve been doing the boating life long enough to remember when people really did “unplug.” But honestly, no one does that anymore. I know that when you’re out on the water, you’re hanging out on deck trying to get a cell signal. Don’t be ashamed, we all do it.
Today’s marine internet options are better than ever. If you’re going to stay within 10 miles of shore, you can use cellular internet to get great speeds even inside the cabin. The secret is a cell phone signal booster that pulls in signals that your phone can’t get. With cellular internet you can even change it to Wi-Fi to connect to computers or streaming boxes. Truly all the comforts of home.
If you’re going further offshore, it’s an exciting time to talk about internet. Today’s satellite internet is better, faster, and more reliable than ever. You have options today that you never had before. If you want to be out there on the bleeding edge, it can be done. And, if you want great internet from an established company whose CEO keeps quiet, that can be done too.
Over-the-air TV
There are some exciting things happening with over-the-air TV. If you haven’t checked out the trusty TV antenna in a while, you’ll be shocked what you can watch now. Most cities have dozens of channels available, all for free. And it’s stuff you’ll actually like. Putting up a TV antenna on your boat gives you free live television up to 60 miles off shore with nothing more to pay, ever.
