There are many types of marine antennas available, ranging from classic VHS radio antennas to cell phone antennas that can make sure those on your vessel always have a signal (even offshore). Whether you're in search of a replacement marine VHF antenna or attempting to stay connected while out on the boat, we have what you need!
The Classics
A VHF radio is a must-have for any captain - how else will you stay in touch with the boats around you? An old marine VHF antenna or improper connections are about as good as having no radio at all, so make sure your gear is up to date! Low output is a classic sign of an old antenna and reduces range considerably. Marine antennas are available in a variety of lengths, range outputs, and types of connections.
What are AIS, GPS, & SSB Antennas?
AIS antennas are designed to be compatible with the broad bandwidth of AIS transceivers. These transceivers can recognize distress calls from other AIS-compatible systems.? GPS antennas provide connectivity for your navigation system, allowing you to use tools such as chart plotters. SSB antennas go beyond regular VHF antenna ranges - up to 200 miles - allowing you to be confident about your communications when going very far offshore.
TV & Cell Phone Antennas
Want to stay connected when out on the water? Look no further than TV & cell phone antennas. On-The-Air TV antennas allow you to keep your TV signal even when multiple miles offshore. These TV antennas are often omnidirectional, meaning the connection is steady up until the end of its range. Cellular boosting systems for your boat are available to extend the existing service range in your area. Wi-fi systems for your boat can work to switch between and boost the best of multiple nearby networks, eliminating the struggle of a weak wifi signal at the dock.
