Iridium Go has an unlimited $120 flat rate plan if you are ok with ancient dial-up speeds and using only email, texts and ssh.
Here's a write up from a guy on a cruise ship using it: http://www.revk.uk/2014/09/still-at-sea.html $200 isn't bad for 450 MB of data, as most other mobile pay-as-you-go plans (such as BGAN) will be far more. In addition there will be equipment rental fees unless you buy the terminal. The terminals are quite expensive, $800 or so, but I guess you can buy used or sell it once you are done. Still probably more expensive than $200 in the end.

Cruise time, just having a hard time paying $200 for 480 minutes. Immarsat is insane but it looks like the only option so far outside the boat.
