If you’re spending Thanksgiving, the Christmas holidays, or even Super Bowl weekend aboard a yacht, your days of missing out on games are over. A new partnership signed by Mr Cinema is bringing NFL games—along with other high-profile sports events—to your decks.
Mr Cinema, which delivers movies, TV, and commercial IPTV exclusively to superyachts, has teamed with DAZN. DAZN provides upwards of 200 international markets with live and on-demand NFL, MMA, boxing, European football, and women’s football events. The partnership is already effective, too. Initially, two of DAZN’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels are available through Mr Cinema. However, the two companies intend to add more channels, and therefore more sports. Regardless of what you like to watch, you can expect to avoid the latency issues plaguing some livestreaming providers. You’ll further encounter no geo restrictions.
In fact, John Baqar, Mr Cinema’s commercial director, notes that DAZN’s sports content also includes Formula 1. Additionally, it carries European football matches from the English Premier League, Bundesliga, and LaLiga, as well as the UEFA Champions League. “DAZN’s content offering perfectly complements our premium film service,” he says, “that provides some of the very latest releases well ahead of normal services.”
Significantly, this film service is what set Mr Cinema apart when it became available early last year. It brings first-run flicks to your megayacht, legally. A few AV companies offer private yachts packages where owners receive a private license to enjoy movies onboard. A private license is strictly for personal viewing, however, and doesn’t extend to any other person onboard, especially charter guests. Charter is deemed commercial activity, violating the terms of the license. Overall, whether for the news sports content or the movies, Mr Cinema preserves the original form and quality versus compressing it.
Tom Gregelles, DAZN’s executive vice president of commercial operations, says the company is looking forward to working with the yachting community. “Our goal is to become the top destination for all sports fans,” he says.
