Elon Musk has surrounded Earth with Starlink communications satellites, and that has boaters buzzing about the possibilities of staying in touch and accessing the internet anywhere. RoamSat helps fulfill that promise with compact, self-contained Starlink satellite receiver kits. RoamSat is a weather-resistant CNC-machined polyethylene box with internal LiFePO4 battery power that provides up to 10 hours of service on a single charge. It also features four vacuum-suction feet that allow boaters to secure the unit to a hardtop or other flat, smooth horizontal surface.

Designed to house a Starlink satellite receiver that you purchase separately, the housing weighs 22 pounds (22-by-13.5-by-3 inches) with room for a Starlink Gen2 Roam Dish or 27 pounds (25-by-16.5-by-3.25 inches) with room for a Gen3 Roam Dish. The great advantage is that you don’t need to drill any holes for installation or run cables or wires to the unit. To activate the system, turn on the power switch outside the RoamSat. With a clear view of the sky, multiple users can access the internet on their mobile devices or computers. It comes with a 110-/220-volt AC charger and can be used to both charge your internal battery and power the unit off AC voltage simultaneously. $2,695 without a dish or Starlink service plan; roamsat.com
