2 years ago I sailed a DYC charter cat for a bit over 2 months with my family from BVI - Guadeloupe and return (1k miles, 10 countries, 40 islands). I provided more detail on this board and others before and after the trip.
It was necessary for us to stay somewhat connected. I spent the better part of 4-6 months prepping for the trip including considering connectivity. In the end, I felt the best way to do so was simply to use my Verizon cell phone as hotspot, in addition to WIFI onshore/nearshore when/where available. This was a reasonably good solution for that area considering both connectivity and cost. I considered buying and installing a directional antenna to pull WIFI from shore, but after much research figured this was not worth the trouble/effort.
