“If we were to ditch into the life raft, we wouldn’t take the Starlink, we’d take the GO! exec.”

The Iridium GO! exec is the ultimate solution for internet, communication and safety while offshore. It’s rugged, fully portable, reliable, offers 100% global coverage and is 40x faster than an Iridium GO! With low power usage and an internal battery, it can be used as a stand-alone satellite phone in the event of an emergency or life raft evacuation.
Take it anywhere
Powered by the reliable and proven Iridium Constellation, the Iridium GO! exec delivers better speed and functionality anywhere in the world.
Use it on and off the boat, or in an emergency in a life raft. Make voice calls directly from the unit with no apps required, just like an Iridium phone.









The Iridium GO! exec is built tough with an IP65 rating to withstand the harshest environments on earth. It is protected from rain, sea spray, sand and dust, to keep you connected, no matter what.


In the event of an emergency, send out an SOS alert at the touch of a button. Use the Iridium GO! exec unit as a stand-alone satellite phone, with no apps required. The backup battery provides six hours of talk/data time or 24 hours on standby. This gives you the ultimate grab and go safety solution to protect your crew and vessel.
Unlimited data, anywhere.
The new GO! exec Unlimited Plan opens up a whole new world of possibilities with truly unlimited data. Forget about data caps and overage costs, and enjoy endless connection with the most reliable offshore communications network in the world.

Why buy from us?
Starlink or GO!/GO! exec?

- ¹ Includes 50GB of data.
- ² Starlink max download speed in ideal conditions. In congested areas download speed can drop to a few MB/s. In addition obstructions can cause dropouts.
- ³ The GO! exec has an internal battery so in the event of a power failure or life-raft evacuation, you have up to 6 hours of talk/data time or 24 hours of standby time.
- ⁴ Antenna with a larger beam angle allows better tracking of satellites, and less potential for dropouts due to obstructions such as masts, etc.
- ⁵ The L-band frequency is rain-resistant while K-band frequencies are subject to degradation during rain or snow.

Conclusion
Our recommendation is to use Starlink for high speed internet access, but use the low powered Iridium GO! exec 24/7 on the $70/Month plan for GPS tracking, AI Polars, and Anchor Alert connectivity.
Why? Starlink requires too much power for the average yacht, as it uses more than the average fridge/freezer combined. Services such as GPS tracking require Starlink to be switched on 24hrs a day, which will lead to high power usage.
The GO! exec is also an excellent backup and essential safety communication device, giving you peace of mind when heading offshore. Bing portable, the unit can be used in a life raft, with full voice capability, and an SOS button to keep you safe, anywhere in the world.

All Iridium GO! exec airtime plans are month by month. The Iridium GO! exec billing cycle is from the 17th to the 17th of the following month. Plans auto-renew on the 17th of each month unless you cancel them via the PredictWind Satellite Portal. You cannot cancel a plan in the same billing cycle that you activate it.
Your Iridium GO! exec plan's billing is pro-rated in the first month if you activate partway through the billing cycle. The included voice/data minutes for the first month are also pro-rated. Subsequent months are billed on a full billing cycle.
If you want to reactivate an Iridium GO! exec SIM card, there is a $50 re-connection fee. The billing cycle is from the 17th to the 17th of the following month. You can also change Iridium GO! exec plans month to month.
The Iridium GO! exec unit can be disconnected in seconds and put in a “grab bag” for emergencies. The internal battery will give you 6 hours of talk/data time & 24 hours standby. The unit is also ideal for taking to remote places inland, and with the SOS Alert button, help is not far away!
PredictWind weather forecasting services are separate from your Iridium GO! exec satellite airtime connection. You need the Standard or Professional PredictWind Weather Subscription to get weather data via your Iridium GO! exec satellite connection.
The billing cycle for all Iridium GO! exec monthly Airtime plans runs from the 17th to the 17th of the following month (00:00 GMT/UTC + 0). Monthly plans can be changed anytime except during the pro-rated first month. After the initial billing cycle, you can change at any time. The change will be immediate. You will be charged any overages due on the existing plan at the end of the monthly billing cycle. The monthly charge on the new plan will be prorated and paid immediately. You may only change the plan once per billing month.
The GO! exec is 40 times faster than an Iridium GO! or Iridium Satellite phone. Unlike the Iridium GO! and other Satellite phones, the Iridium GO! exec has an IP internet connection to allow devices and apps instant internet connectivity. For example, the PredictWind Anchor App/DataHub can constantly monitor your boat.
All boat installations require an Iridium GO! exec external antenna, as any degradation of the signal results in dramatically lower data speeds.
The Iridium GO! exec external antenna mounts directly on rail 1”-14NF using a rail mount. It has a diameter of 95 mm, a height of 188 mm, and a weight of 0.30 kg.
Iridium GO! exec plans can be cancelled at any stage except during the first billing cycle, as you cannot activate a plan and cancel a plan in the same cycle. The cancellation will happen immediately. No refunds are applied to the existing plan.
