Coastal base stations (such as the one which you contacted in northern
France) can be adjusted to allow twice the normal propagation delay,
so that large areas of sea are covered.
The last few times I've been on a Sealink Ferry I've got their very own
base station.

I think that certain ferries crossing the channel provide their own
cellular service once out of reach of any land-based ones. I have heard
that ships between Portsmouth and Saint-Malo have that service, though I
don't know if that is the case between Portsmouth and Bilbao.

I wonder if any if any passenger ships that cross the Atlantic Ocean
offer such a service, such as Cunard's Queens.

I know that Emirates offers such services, at least between Dubai and
London, though it is only for text services, IIRC.

What ever happened with Ryanair's plans to do something like that, BTW?
