Once we leave the three-mile demarcation line, cell service can become unreliable. On clear days, you might have service up to 8 miles offshore. Beyond 10 miles, service is usually nonexistent. While many seasoned divers know this, it’s helpful information for those new to offshore boating or diving.
We now offer Star Link on our vessels for an additional $10 per charter that provides internet access.
If you need to reschedule your trip (outside the 7-day window), we’ll gladly assist you in finding another available date that works for you.
