Middle of the see VPS when?
Middle of $7/yr sea
How far off the coast? Will you have line of sight to land or cellular towers?
Starlink obviously, don't think 4G/5G gonna do much.
The other Geo stats gonna suck.
+1 starlink. There is no other satellite internet provider i know.
Cheap contraband USB radio modem.
Contraband because the notion that the State owns the frequencies and seeks rent on them is uncharitable.
Don't..
Use Starlink.
HF radio can communicate over long distances by bouncing signals off the ionosphere. To get (very slow) internet connectivity, you can use digital modes like Winlink or ARDOP

You'll need to get an HF transceiver, computer, sound card interface, and a free software
Sold, where is my custom order link?
How far off the coast? And how close to a populated area?
If you were within territorial waters then Starlink would be illegal, but it would still work.
Generally 4G/5G is decent in populated areas, less so otherwise and obviously depending on how far away from the land you would be.
Thanks everyone, I'm asking for a friend. I will provide more information when possible.
How far off the coast and which coast?
I was watching a video earlier somewhere of someone saying how before starlink they had to load cds and that before they got on the boat now they can download CoD in no time
