Salish Yacht Connect

Stay connected anywhere the water takes you.

Turnkey onboard connectivity for yachts cruising the Salish Sea, the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound — surveyed, installed and supported by someone who spent a decade building the towers your signal comes from.

The problem with cruising connected

Cell coverage ends where the charts get interesting. Anchorages in Desolation Sound, the channels of the Discovery Islands, the outer Gulf Islands — that's exactly where a phone becomes a paperweight. Weather routing, remote work, staying in touch with family ashore: it all depends on a connection most boats simply don't have.

The fix isn't a gadget from a chandlery. It's a properly surveyed, properly mounted system — matched to your boat, your cruising grounds and the way you actually use it.

How it works

Discreet, turnkey, concierge-style. You don't lift a finger past the first conversation.

01

Consultation

We talk through your boat, your cruising plans and what "connected" needs to mean for you — then I tell you honestly what's achievable.

02

Onboard survey & install

Signal surveyed at your moorage, hardware matched to the job, mounted clean and wired properly. No guesswork, no dangling cables.

03

Ongoing support

Something changes mid-season — a new anchorage, a new device, a question at 9pm before a crossing. You call, I answer.

Built by someone who built the towers

Ten years in wireless — tower erection to 500 feet, helicopter long-line work, remote sites across Western Canada. I know exactly where signal comes from and where it dies, because I spent a career standing in both places.

Salish Yacht Connect is the marine arm of Rapid Deploy Technologies Inc. — one operator, island-based, doing the job properly.
