“Today ends our 2018 cruising season, as tomorrow the yacht will be loaded onto a cargo transporter for delivery to Florida, to commence the winter season in the Bahamas.
The owner, manager and myself much appreciate the service provided by Excelerate this summer. The tech chap was very efficient in installing the hardware provided at the end of our refit in Genoa, and set up the systems for us during a brief sea trial.
Although our needs were very basic compared to the larger yachts, we never felt overlooked and everything that was promised was fully delivered, and at exceptionally favourable rates.
We look forward to working with Excelerate in the future and will be in touch regarding the set up of our systems when the yacht returns to the Med next year.”
Captain Rodney A. Hatch
M/Y Centurion
“We gave Excelerate quite a big job to upgrade both helm stations, our comms and our security camera systems. It’s fair to say that the work threw up some unforeseen problems but Excelerate worked through them with us and were either here or on the phone when we needed them. Their work was completed on budget and I am delighted and looking forward to putting Hooligan back in the water and using her with all the upgrades”
Captain Russ Upton
Charter Yacht M/Y Hooligan
“We highly recommend Excelerate for any Marine electronics. Their engineers are very knowledgeable and did an awesome job installing a complete navigation system for a very reasonable fee. I will be calling them again in the near future for more upgrades and installations. Great service, Thanks.”

“Excelerate Marine has seriously stepped up its game this year. They give you faster speeds and unlimited plans for less money. If you are looking for high speed internet at a very competitive price and excellent customer service”
Captain Nick Powell
M/Y Blue Vision
“When the Excelerate Team came onboard, they replaced our 4G Router and WiFi Access points, all manageable from one single Web Interface. They have also installed 2 new antennas that significantly improved our 4G range. I am very impressed with their products plus customer service and would definitely use them again.”
Captain James Thatcher
M/Y Rose of Kingston
“We had the Excelerate team on-board today to sort out our bridge electronic issues (the system had been down for two months). Within 24 hours we were back up and running with absolutely no fuss. Both the captain and I are over the moon with the service and support. A+ rating from me.”

“This week marks the end of an incredibly busy charter season that has given us eighteen weeks of charter activity, taking our guests through the South of France, Monaco, Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, The Balearics and Southern Spain. We Captains are very quick to complain when we get let down by our suppliers but as we start to think about the things that need doing for the next season I thought it would make a refreshing change to impart a good news story about one of our supplier partners Excelerate Technology.
If you are a busy charter yacht or if you just want to keep your boss happy you can’t afford not to talk to Excelerate about their Satellite Broadband and Satellite TV solutions and pricing – they literally made every day easier for me and my crew and kept my charter guests happier at flexible and affordable prices, giving me more for my euro than ever before. I can’t be any more direct – what Excelerate promised at the outset worked better than I could have hoped for and I’ve just had my first charter season ever without a single complaint from our guests about their internet and TV experience anywhere we cruised. Of course, Excelerate do more than Satellite Broadband and Satellite TV, so now we are in discussions about giving them even more of our business because their real-time remote and onboard technical support is also the best I’ve ever experienced, it’s like having my own IT department onboard. We plan to use them in other areas so that they can take even more pressure off me and my crew and give my owner and guests a better experience at a more economical price”
Julian Sincock
CaptainM/Y Princess AVK
“Late in 2016 we engaged Excelerate to try to overcome some problems we had had in our first season with our original TV and VSAT set up. Excelerate took a very consultative approach to listening to our problems concerning, broadband speeds and costs but also the problems we were having with line of sight issues which is pretty common on yachts.
The Excelerate team came up with a plan to eradicate line of sight issues and to dramatically increase our broadband speeds at much lower cost. They demonstrated how they could achieve this before we committed and I am delighted to say that they worked with us throughout our Winter refit and even helped us in areas that weren’t even in their remit.
They were mindful of our requirement to preserve the good looks of the yacht and now we have something that looks great, is simple to use and its shown us how important resilience is because we have already been in situations where last year we would have had periods of zero broadband or internet or TV and this year their system has overcome those challenges, and even when there has been the odd glitch everyone from their Chairman down to a support engineer has been immediately accessible and able to support us and fix the problem, usually remotely. This is how things should be.”
Julian Sincock, Captain of Sunseeker’s flagship 155, Princess AVK.
“We were introduced to Excelerate prior to ZOZO, the first of the new generation Sunseeker 131’s being launched to the world at its 2016 London Boat Show debut and to be honest, we’ve never looked back since. Excelerate’s satellite broadband service is quite simply the best I’ve used as long as I’ve been in yachting and their service, support and attitude is amazing, nothing is too much trouble and they feel more like a partner than a supplier. They are also fantastic value and because they also develop and integrate their own solutions they are always showing us new ideas to make life onboard better, safer and more enjoyable. We are already into another season with Excelerate with zero regrets”
Matt McKay
Captain of Sunseeker 131 ZOZO
“I can be on a boat in the middle of the sea and still have the same ability to make contact, have conference calls, email, and operate the business as and when I need too its made my life so much easier.”

“I am happy to report that the yacht, it’s owners and its crew have had a great season with Excelerate with one less thing for a busy captain or us to worry about
SYM Superyacht Management had been picking up great reports about Excelerate’s Satellite Broadband Service and when one of our client yachts, the 46 Metre Benetti Wild Orchid 1 were looking for a new provider urgently. We put the two together and in no time at all Wild Orchid 1 were up and running and I am happy to report that the yacht, it’s owners and its crew have had a great season with Excelerate with one less thing for a busy captain or us to worry about”
Ben Young

“We required a more efficient setup than was supplied previously and Excelerate came highly recommended with their services being rated the best in this sector
Captains continually compare notes amongst our close knit user group concerning the services and technology we use. We required a more efficient setup than was supplied previously and Excelerate came highly recommended with their services being rated the best in this sector. Following another Captains experience with Excelerate and his high recommendations we naturally entered into conversations with Excelerate and a decision to move forward with them. Once the decision was made, the Excelerate team worked flexibly around our schedule, completing the installation in less than 48 hours from start to finish. The service was instantly up and running on completion of works in Nice Port and for our subsequent departure to our home berth in Monaco Port.
Since going live in Nice Port, during the journey back to Monaco and whilst moored in Monaco, every consistent test we run shows that Excelerate’s broadband service is precisely what was asked for and was promised. I’m pleased to report that this is now one less thing that I need to worry about when guests require an online experience that works”
