How does it work?
Get Connected—Stay Connected.
For too long, we in the yachting fraternity have coped with the wonderful world of
satellite or fixed landline telephony as the only reliable means of internet
and email communication. It is now becoming either increasingly more difficult,
or considerably more expensive to get connected via either.
A number of ports around the world have tried WiFi, and so did we at Any-Port.
However, after extensive trials we concluded
it just wasn’t reliable enough for
our yachting clients. So we changed to more advanced technology able to connect
faster, transmit further, and less likely to drop your internet connection when
you really want (or NEED) it.
We can now offer that technology to yachts of any size in the south of France.

As you can see from the table, Any-Port’s advanced technology has many distinct
advantages over WiFi, without the need for obtrusive equipment. Our antennae
measure 100mm across and less than 50mm high. When flush mounted they are often
mistaken for a GPS antenna. The equipment can be installed within a matter of
minutes, depending on cable runs, and all our systems arrive pre-configured.
Simply power up and you’re connected :
Any-Port monitors system efficiency remotely, ensuring a higher quality of service
and minimising downtime. We understand that any radio system is subject to outside
influences, so we have English-speaking technicians in every port.
You can also get online at anchor, handy for busy yachts, when dock space is not
readily available. Your internet use is not limited by either time or data transfer,
and one monthly fee entitles you to use the service in ALL of our equipped ports.
Additionally, Any-Port will soon be launching its new VoIP service. This will
include your own fixed landline telephone number (with full PBX capabilities)
and calls costing up to eighty percent less than usual, with landline quality.
On-board internet is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
