If you bought a pay monthly iD SIM, it’s already activated and ready to use in the mobile broadband router on your boat, ​@Gary Peter Sovereign

Just to say, iD only officially support use of their SIM products in mobile phones, so if things don’t work your support options might be limited.

Hi ​@Gary Peter Sovereign 

 

To activate a SIM card, we’d recommend the following;

 

https://my.idmobile.co.uk/activate-sim-outside

 

If you purchased a new plan and that’s your first SIM, it’ll already be activated.

 

As for using it in a boat we wouldn’t officially support usage of our SIM inside a boat, however you’re free to try if you wish, services may not work or features may be limited.
