Vessel WiFi
Our Mission
To provide cost effective and reliable Corporate Class Mobile Wi-Fi Internet Access Solutions to the Charter Boat and Marinas Operators.
History
Vessel WiFi was created in 2012 for the purpose of providing Internet Access to the guests of charter boat companies. The idea came about because of a need by one of its owners to absolutely have Internet access while he was on his sailing boat in his most favorable place on earth-the British and US Virgin Islands. At the time he had a successful carrier of more than 30 years in the telecommunication industry and his work required him to be in constant contact with his clients.
It took more than 10 years of experience trying different telecommunication technologies in Caribbean marine environment before a system that was stable and cost effective was perfected. Then came the idea, "if it works for me then it will work for others" and the company was created. The work was very exiting and rewarding every test trip was a memorable vacation!
We were the first Company in the Virgin Islands to offer a Permanently Fixed Wi-Fi Hot Spot Solution on board to the Charter Industry.
Today we operate fleets in the US and BVIs and also provide Hot Spot services to Marinas
