Can you you use your subscription for your vehicle in your boat,without buying a separate subscription? And any recommendations for the radio to be used on the boat?

The subscription is tied to the Radio ID (Electronic Serial #) of the radio, so unless you can move your radio from your vehicle to your boat, the answer is no.
If you have a subscription that includes online access, you can connect your phone to your boats radio (aux input or Bluetooth), and listen via the SiriusXM app on your phone.

Could you provide a link or picture? Also, do these still require you to purchase a separate subscription?
Like the OP, I have XM in the truck and would love to take one of the portable home units (or similar) on the boat. But as I understand the ads/mailers I keep getting, I would be required to bundle or add to my service.

Like I said in my original post, each device requires a separate subscription. However, if you're paying more than $5 a month per device for the subscription, you're paying too much.

I've been a satellite radio subscriber for years and have become increasing frustrated by all the "DJ talk" on many of the stations. I want to listen to music. Period. With that being said, I also have a paid Pandora subscription which is add free.
However, I've discovered another option...…. When I got my Tesla, it came with a free subscription to Slacker. The Tesla has a built-in, full time wifi connection (via AT&T) and the streaming music via Slacker has been great. They have many pre-programmed stations just like XM, but no DJ talk, no ads, etc. It's become my prime way of listening. I really like it more than satellite
