When it comes to reliable marine VHF communication, Shakespeare's Classic Series 2-piece antennas deliver value without compromising performance or durability, covering the widest variety of vessels in the Shakespeare family. These recreational VHF antennas represent over a century of antenna engineering expertise from Shakespeare Antennas, a company that has evolved from a fishing reel manufacturer founded in 1897 to a leading global antenna brand serving both recreational boaters and professional mariners worldwide.
Shakespeare's 2-piece professional antennas are performance powerhouses—extra strong and sturdy enough to be self-supporting, even in high winds and high speeds.

The Galaxy line includes various gain options from 6dB to 8dB configurations, allowing recreational boaters to select the optimal antenna height and radiation pattern for their vessel size and typical operating conditions. These antennas feature stainless steel ferrules that prevent rust and a high-gloss polyurethane finish that prevents yellowing, ensuring your antenna maintains both performance and appearance season after season.
