FORT LAUDERDALE, FL AND MONACO / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / MTNSat "MTN", a leading global provider of best-in-class satellite and wireless solutions to maritime and enterprise customers, and Bond, a pioneering consultancy and management company in yachting technology, specializing in new-builds, refits, training and support services, have formed a strategic alliance to set a new benchmark in service excellence and tailored solutions for the marine and yachting industry. By integrating MTN's converged connectivity solutions and private network (partnering with major providers like SpaceX-Starlink and OneWeb for global, ultra-high-speed internet) with Bond's full suite of onboard technology offerings (including IT infrastructure, AV systems, cybersecurity, and monitoring services), yacht owners will benefit from enhanced operations, improved onboard entertainment, and secure connectivity. Both companies will jointly present the new partnership at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) starting September 24.

According to Grand View Research, the global yacht market size was estimated at USD 9.39 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 13.29 billion by 2030, expressing a growing demand for premium features such as advancements in maritime security systems, tracking technology, IT services and improved connectivity. Bond and MTN will come together to deliver 360-degree comprehensive support by combining their technical strengths in connectivity and IT infrastructure.

"Our alliance with MTN represents an evolution in how we support our clients, on and off their vessels. By integrating MTN's world-class solutions and customized Starlink packages with our onboard technology infrastructure, we're not just providing two services -we're delivering a single, unified experience," said Will Faimatea, Director of Bond. "This partnership enables us to offer a new level of simplified, end-to-end service that empowers our clients with future-ready infrastructure and helps them navigate anywhere around the world."
