Yes, in most sailing areas. You will have a strong signal in the main sailing corridor (the Sir Francis Drake Channel) and at popular moorings like The Bight (Norman Island), Cooper Island, and Cane Garden Bay. You may lose signal if you sail far offshore or to the most remote coves, but for 90% of a charter, you will be connected.
