We’ve been sailing in the coast of Alicante, going from Altea to Ifach Rock. In the image above you can see some geolocalized photos of the trip.
The satellite transponder Spot behaved great. It works even under the cabin!

That’s the name of a truly nice initiative, in which its promoters will sail around the world 50.000 miles during almost 4 years. Their goal is to bring the attention to the people with the HIV virus and their integration problems into society.
You can read more about the project here (in Spanish).
We hope them the very best luck in this initiative 
We have updated the products description table to include after the satellite tracking devices, the Iridium 9555, the satellite phone you can buy or rent from us when you need to talk with great reliability from anywhere in the world. 100% coverage including the poles!
Iridium satellite phones, especially the last model, the 9555, are the best option to transmit voice via satellite economically, and with the reliability of the conventional GSM mobile phones.
In AtPosition we sell and rent out these equipment if you want to enjoy its advantages during a punctual journey. Although AtPosition is a website specially dedicated to the boating sector, we have rented these phones to a very wide audience, such as hikers, hunters or mountain adventurers.
In this Atlantic Source webpage, you can read the prices of an Iridium mobile satellite phone in case you want to purchase it or prefer to rent it. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to know more.
We spent the day sailling with the Jadic yesterday, carrying the Spot tracking device, with excellent results as the map below shows. Garbí wind (SW) with constant wind above 20 knots, reaching 27 at some moments of the journey. Sailing against the wind with two reefs on the main sail and self-turning genova. The sea condition was pretty rough, with short front waves at 1,5-2m.
And we had a great time!
Ayer estuvimos navegando con el Spot, teniendo unos estupendos resultados, como podéis ver en el mapa adjunto.

We are glad to track yet again Cris and Jordi’s journeys, this time onboard the beautiful Catamaran Unama.
You can currently track via satellite their journey, at present at Sicilia.
We have followed their journeys in the Med, in the Atlantic French Coast, crossing the Atlantic in several occasions, and during months in the Caribbean, so we are truly happy that the can still enjoy their boating dream, this time in Turkey.
Cris and Jordi are proffessional Yacht masters, with many thousands of miles behind them, sometimes taking boats from their customers wherever owners want them to be. Some other times they are skippers for yachts in charter worldwide.
We will be soon creating an index of charter companies among our customers, so that you can directly contact these companies, if you want to enjoy these very special experiences, such as scuba diving, learning to sail, visiting remote countries, knowing people with similar curiosity, in a completely different way.
Among the satellite tracking devices we work with, you can find the spot satellite messenger.
When you purchase it from us, it is automatically integrated in our system so that you can choose at any time the websites and social networks where you want your location to show up.
You can see a description of this device down here:
- SPOT is the world’s first and only satellite messenger
- SPOT sends messages via satellite to e-mail adresses and cell phones
- Each message contains two things:
1. GPS coordinates
2. A link to a Google Map
- There are three modes of messaging:
1. 911. When the 911 button is pressed, a message is sent to our international 911 response center. The proper authorities are then dispatched to your location.
2. OK. The OK message sends an all is ok message to friends and family.
3. Help. The help button is designed to be used in non-life threatening situations. The people on your contact list are notified of your position and request for assistance.
There is also a tracking feature. Every 10 minutes for 24 hours, your position is plotted. With your permission, anyone with an Internet connection can monitor your progress. The tracking feature is also an excellent personal trip log that is great compliment to photos or journal entries.
After the support given by the Caja Navarra Eurecan project to us when we started our project, we are very glad to announce that our AtPosition initiative has won the Bancaja’s young entrepreneur’s prize.
We are very grateful to the organization and members of the jury for understanding the potential of our initiative, and for giving us this push that gives us even more energy to keep working towards our goal of developing services that make boating more interactive and social from the internet.
It would be very interesting to analyze the impact of the boating tourism in the Balearic Islands.
In our satellite tracking webpage for boats, we regularly follow the frequent trips of our customers to the Balearic Islands, which significantly increases during the summer.
Besides, many Europeans choose the Balearics as the HQ for their boats. All this boats have to pay manteinance, equipment and mooring fees, that provide a significant flow of cash into the Islands.
Most of their owners are in tourist mode, so they spend on food, car rental and many others while staying in the Islands, and since their purchase power is medium to high, the impact of their stay is very significant.
Somebody should study whether the Islands suffer what economists call the dutch desease, i.e., the illness suffered by countries that specialize so much in a very succesful industry, that it stops the incentives or capacity to generate wealth in any other sectors.
In any case, the early recovery of countries such as Germany will surely have a positive impact in the economy of the Islands.
To make things clear, we have created a comparative table on different satellite location devices that we use for our satellite tracking solutions.
We hope you find it useful. Don’t hesitate to contact us in case you have any doubts.
