Connectivity, Communication & Entertainment

Is your yacht well connected? Does your yacht have your safety at the forefront? What entertainment do you have onboard? Fancy hooking up with someone who has their own satellite broadband network? Bluewater, and Eddie Jordan, just happen to know the guy you need to connect with…

Staying connected

Bluewater spent a fantastic day recently on-board the Excelerate Marine yacht, M/Y EXCELERATE Z, with their business development team. They were so welcoming and friendly, opening up their yacht to us for a fun Bluewater photo shoot with crew.
However, the weather was not so accommodating…but thankfully the crew along with our captain and photographer managed to perfect their smiles through the raindrops.

When the weather turned and we could no longer continue with the photoshoot, we took the opportunity to take time out for a chat and a coffee with the Excelerate team.

Your own network you say?

Not being so technically minded ourselves, we didn’t expect to understand what they do, but Mark Savage, Excelerate Marine Manager, tells us quite simply...

’’We have our own Satellite Broadband network so we don’t rely on other service providers, we’re proud to be able to provide a holistic service to yachts which is highly competitive, and we keep crew connected with family and friends ashore.
We also offer customized solutions for each yacht which are simple to operate’’.

Well that sounds pretty good to us! We know how important it is to stay in touch.


They’re so assured of their services, they even invite you onboard their yacht for a live demonstration for anyone wanting to test Excelerate Marines’ capabilities.

Now that is confident!
Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk.

Be safe, be secured...and get your Sky TV

Entertainment is just one element of their pioneering connectivity technology; Keeping crew safe is an important aspect of their job, especially on the epic super yachts, wouldn’t you feel safer knowing you had constant contact with your crew mates onboard, round the clock, with a reliable service.

You can also facetime with family and friends onshore, and when you are out of range, on a long crossing perhaps, you have the Wi-Fi onboard to keep you connected always.

Video streaming is an excellent way to cut costs allowing you to get assistance from emergency services, from your suppliers, omitting the expense of flying someone out to you.

They are a one-stop-shop and can also connect you to Sky Television or any entertainment of your liking.
What more do you need!
