The Satellite is already on your boat. Let it pay for itself.

How it works for captains

Earning takes three steps. We handle the rest.

01

Plug in the OceanLink system we send

We ship you the OceanLink system. Power it on and connect it to your satellite with one ethernet cable — that's the whole install. No new dish, no rewiring, no technician.

02

Passengers buy a pass onboard

Guests join the OceanLink WiFi network and purchase access for the trip — no app, no contract. Their usage is metered separately so that they can only use the data they are allowed to access.

03

You get paid

We handle billing, passenger support, and payouts. You earn a rebate on every pass sold and get credited monthly for your purchase rebates and for data used by OceanLink.

Why captains partner

A new line of revenue from gear you already own.

OceanLink was built by offshore captains who wanted to offer guests real connectivity without blowing up the boat's data bill. Here's what you get.

No extra data cost

Passenger usage is metered and billed separately. OceanLink pays for all data that our system uses.

Monthly rebate

Earn a rebate on every pass sold, credited monthly. No invoicing, no chasing payments.

An amenity guests remember

Connectivity offshore means better reviews, more repeat trips, and an edge over the boat in the next slip.

Plug-in install in minutes

The OceanLink system ships to your door. Power it up, plug it into your satellite with one cable, and you're live — no tools, no rewiring the boat.

Zero hassle

We handle the network, billing, and passenger support. You run the trip — we run the Wi-Fi.

Works where you fish

Passengers stay online 60+ miles out, far past cell range — wherever the bite takes you.

What you could earn

It adds up over a season.

Most passengers happily pay for a pass to share the catch in real time and stay reachable. With a typical crowd onboard, the rebate compounds trip after trip.

Built by captains

From people who run offshore trips, for people who run offshore trips.

OceanLink started with Captain Anthony Matarese Jr. aboard the 62′ Reel Chaos out of Ocean City, MD, who saw firsthand how badly anglers wanted to stay connected miles past cell range.

Co-founders Dan Dalton and Luke Beachy bring an operations and remote-automation backgrounds — so the technology just works, even 60+ miles out. We know what a charter day looks like, because we run them too.

“My guests used to lose signal the second we cleared the inlet. Now they stay online the whole run — and I earn on every pass without touching my data bill.”
