Marine VHF Antennas
Marine communication is an important part of marine safety on the water. There are many choices for ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore communications with VHF radios being a top choice for boaters. VHF radios have been around for many years and are a reliable source for communication. Marine VHF antennas are a critical element to these systems. It is important to select the correct antenna to ensure optimal communication between boaters and shore stations. Marine VHF antennas need to be designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
VHF boat antennas are made from either stainless steel or fiberglass and come in various types and lengths. Improperly selecting the VHF antenna for your radio can impact its overall performance. Wholesale Marine recommends the Shakespeare Galaxy 8’ Marine VHF Antenna or the Shakespeare Marine Stainless 3’ Antenna for maximum range and durability for large areas such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, or out on the open ocean water. Their polyurethane coating provides years of reliable use. For maximum range and efficiency, these marine VHF antennas also feature stainless steel ferrules with brass and copper elements to hold up in the severe elements.
An Antenna for Every Type of Boat!
Great performance and long service life are important for all types of vessels. The Shakespeare Classic Flexible 7” VHF Antenna is a lightweight compact choice that is made with gold-plated connectors to prevent performance loss. For speedboats, t-tops, and sailboats, the 4’ VHF marine antenna is a great choice. Manufactured by Digital Antennas, its award-winning construction will help ensure years of quality performance.
