This alliance combines MTN’s advanced satellite connectivity solutions with Bond’s expertise in onboard technology, creating a unified approach that will enhance the functionality, security, and entertainment capabilities of luxury yachts worldwide.
MTN, known for its pioneering solutions in maritime satellite communications, brings its world-class infrastructure to the partnership, offering fast, reliable, and secure internet connections through an advanced network of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites like Starlink and OneWeb. Bond, a consultancy that specializes in the management and integration of cutting-edge onboard technology, will leverage its years of experience to integrate MTN’s connectivity services with onboard IT systems, audiovisual setups, cybersecurity features, and other critical infrastructure.
This partnership is a response to the ever-growing demand for premium yacht features, driven by a global market that is expected to reach USD 13.29 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Yacht owners are increasingly seeking better onboard entertainment options, advanced security measures, and seamless connectivity. MTN and Bond aim to address these needs by offering an all-encompassing service that supports the lifestyle of yacht owners, from coast to coast and across international waters.
A Seamless Integration of Technologies
The heart of this partnership lies in the seamless integration of MTN’s connectivity solutions and Bond’s onboard technology offerings. By combining these cutting-edge services, yacht owners will enjoy an enhanced user experience, whether they are navigating the open seas or relaxing in their private cabins. The partnership will debut at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) on September 24, where both companies will present the full range of their services to an exclusive audience of yacht owners, captains, and industry professionals.
At the MYS, MTN will also unveil its new, innovative MTN Performance Mounting System at Bond’s Monaco headquarters. This state-of-the-art fiberglass mounting system, designed for the 2025 Starlink Performance Antenna, promises to revolutionize onboard connectivity. The system not only ensures superior cooling and network performance but also houses an integrated 5G-4G/LTE antenna, offering a backup connectivity option that guarantees uninterrupted service. This system is designed to be compatible with yachts of all sizes, ensuring that its advantages can be experienced across the industry.
Transforming the Yachting Industry with Comprehensive Solutions
As part of the partnership, Bond and MTN will offer a complete suite of solutions that will help yacht owners enhance their onboard experiences. Whether it’s optimizing operations, upgrading entertainment systems, or enhancing cybersecurity, this partnership aims to provide yacht owners with a holistic approach to yacht management.

Our combined expertise allows us to provide a more robust and flexible solution to our clients, empowering them with the tools they need to succeed.”
Strengthening Global Presence and Local Support
The MTN-Bond partnership is further strengthened by MTN’s recent expansion into Monaco, following the opening of its European headquarters in Paris.
