Iridium GO! exec™ Yearly 1000 is a flexible one year plan that allows you to use your data and calls whenever you like, throughout the year, at the best rates! Even if you only do a few passages a year, but use a lot of data, the Yearly 1,000 allows you to take advantage of the 1,000 MB bundle at anytime during the year. Forget about large invoices at the end of the month by monitoring your usage through the PredictWind Offshore App and Satellite Portal.
The Iridium GO! exec™ is fully integrated with the PredictWind Offshore App. Getting GRIB files, Weather Routing, GMDSS text forecasts and satellite imagery offshore has never been easier.
Learn More About the Offshore App
Get a free GPS tracking web page specifically for your boat, when you purchase the Iridium GO! exec™ or SIM card from PredictWind, and a PredictWind Standard Forecast Subscription. With automatic hourly updates, friends and family can monitor your progress on your website or blog. If your boat stops or alters course, friends can see that you may need assistance. Post blogs and photos that correlate with your GPS position, to share the excitement of the journey as it happens. Only PredictWind offers the DataHub for seamless automatic tracking updates from the Iridium GO! exec™.
Offshore email just got easier with our new PredictMail service, developed specifically for the Iridium GO! exec™. In a world first, you can now add a PredictMail account to your existing mail app and get optimised email while offshore.
PredictMail and the Datahub will take care of the compression and filtering when you’re connected to your boat’s satellite connection. It allows you to go from a mobile data connection in town to an offshore connection with your phone, tablet or laptop using any mail app, and your email will automatically be compressed into a satellite-friendly format to minimise your data usage.

What Airtime Plans do you offer?
We offer the GO! Exec 25, GO! Exec 50, GO! Exec 125, GO! Exec 250 monthly plans and the GO! Exec yearly 600 and 1000 plans. Please see the comparison table above. These plans have been selected as the best value for money.
What is the contract length with the Iridium GO! exec data plans?
The GO Exec Yearly 600 and 1000 are the only plans with long-term commitment. All other Airtime plans are billed on a monthly basis and automatically renew on the 17th of each month (00:00 GMT/UTC +0) unless cancelled through the PredictWind Satellite Portal. It’s not possible to cancel the plan during the first month from activation until the 17th of the following month.
What is the best plan for making voice calls?
All Plans have bundled Voice minutes. We recommend the GO! Exec Yearly 600 plan which includes 600 minutes of Voice Calls for free that can be used anytime in your 1 year term. After this allowance voice calls are US$1.80 to a Land Line and Cellular Phones.
Can the Iridium GO! exec™ be used away from the boat?
Yes, the main unit can be disconnected in seconds and put in a “grab bag” for emergency situations. The unit is also ideal for taking to remote places inland, and with the SOS Alert button, help is not far away!
Does the Marine Package include my weather services from PredictWind?
No, the weather services are separate to your satellite airtime connection. You will need the Standard or Professional PredictWind Weather Subscription, to get weather data via your Iridium GO! exec™ satellite connection.
Can I change a Plan?
You can change your plan anytime during the month, the change will take effect immediately. You will be charged any overages that are due on the existing plan at the end of the month. The monthly charge on the new plan will be prorated and paid immediately. You may only change the plan once per month.
Is the external antenna necessary?
All boat installations require an external antenna, as any degradation of the signal results in dramatically lower data speeds.
What is the external antenna size, and how does it mount?
The external antenna mounts directly on rail 1”-14NF using a rail mount. The unit has a diameter 95 mm & height 188 mm & weighs 0.30 kg.
Can I use any App or Web browser with the Iridium GO! exec™️?
Yes, but you will need to be careful on your data usage. Some apps will use a lot of your data and so we highly recommend you use apps that are optimized for data usage on a Satellite connection. The PredictWind Offshore App and PredictMail are designed specifically for the GO! exec™️ to compress and control your data downloads and will use a fraction of the data compared to regular email / weather Apps. The Firewall in the GO! exec™️ unit prevents unwanted and automatic usage by other Apps. In addition the PredictWind DataHub can be configured to automatically open the firewall to do GPS tracking and check PredictMail in one operation to take advantage of the minimum 5k billing increment, saving both time and money.
What is the Data Speed?
The data speed is 80 Kbits/s download and 20Kbits/s upload. This is 40X faster than Iridium & Inmarsat Satellite phone services.
How long does the Iridium GO! exec™ take to setup?
The physical installation is straightforward, there is some learning in how to best use the Offshore App and the PredictMail app set up. In addition it is a good idea to have the unit setup 1 month prior to departure so you can become familiar with the features of the Apps. Once setup, the features are easy to use. To setup the Iridium GO! exec™ you will need access to a high speed internet connection to download the Apps and watch the video tutorials.
Does the price include sales tax?
Local sales tax maybe added onto your hardware purchase. If importing the goods outside of USA/Germany/New Zealand and Australia import duties may apply. For the airtime plans, depending on your location, local taxes may apply, and this is added during the activation checkout process. PredictWind is required to collect your IP address (to know your location), the Credit Card Country of issue and the Billing address you have entered. If you change your location whilst using the service you can login to the Satellite Portal and change your Billing address, which will calculate the new tax rate.
Can a plan be cancelled?
Yes, for all Iridium GO! exec Airtime plans, billing cycles run from the 17th of one month to the 17th of the next month. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time, except during the pro-rated first month. After the initial billing cycle, you can cancel at any time. The cancellation is IMMEDIATE and there are no refunds for the unused portion of the month. Yearly plans can also be cancelled at any time during the year, but again, the cancellation is IMMEDIATE and there are no refunds for the unused portion.
Why upgrade your existing Satellite Phone or Go unit?
The Iridium 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 & Apps instant internet connectivity. For example the PredictWind Anchor App/DataHub can constantly monitor your boat.
Can I install the Iridium GO! exec™ myself?
Most definitely! This is one of the advantages of Iridium GO! exec™ over a Satellite Phone solution.
¹ 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.
² Starlink terms and conditions state that the Mobile plan with the standard antenna is for land use only, and not in motion use.
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.
We would recommend having both services onboard your boat! Starlink offers blazing fast internet at an affordable cost if you are using the Mobile plan. However, to get the full picture, consider these points below:
Coverage Limitations
The terms and conditions of the Mobile plan with the standard antenna state that the unit is not for use on water, or whilst in motion so you can only rely on this service whilst at anchor.
Power Usage
The higher power requirements of Starlink for GPS tracking, auto-polar updates and the PredictWind Anchor Alert App can be a significant power draw on your batteries when using these monitoring services 24hrs a day.
Emergency Situations
In an emergency you cannot take a Starlink device onto a liferaft, or ashore, nor does Starlink have an SOS button to connect you directly to GEOS emergency services.
Voice Communication
Starlink does not have a dedicated voice line for emergency use. Having this in a boat or during an emergency is essential, and not available on other devices like the Garmin Inreach. Many countries marine safety regulations specify you must have a satellite phone such as the GO! exec, as an emergency safety device.
Backup Power Supply
The GO! exec has an internal battery so in the event of a power failure (such as an invertor failure) on the boat, the unit can be switched on for short periods of time to get essential weather and communications for the remainder of your passage. The battery gives you 6 hours of talk/data time or 24 hours of standby time.
Weather Proofing
The GO! exec is a rugged unit with an IP65 rating designed for the marine environment.
Lightning Protection
In a thunderstorm event you can disconnect and store the GO! exec in a microwave (it acts like faraday cage) to protect your essential weather and communication device.
If your budget allows, we recommend getting a Starlink and a GO! exec as the two devices are complementary. In fact the ultimate solution is to backup Starlink with a PredictWind DataHub / cellular modem so when on anchor with possible obstructions such as masts or hills, and Starlink congestion issues, Starlink will have a cellular modem backup to eliminate any outages.
However, if you have a limited budget, we would recommend the GO! exec and a mobile data sim card from a local network provider. Never compromise the safety of your crew when heading offshore by only having Starlink as your main safety and communication device.
