Overrated antenna with terrible performance

Based on our own experience, we found this antenna to be nothing special. Its range was subpar and signal quality left much to be desired. The only positive aspect of this product is its sleek design. However, given its hefty price tag, there are much better marine electronics available on the market. Don't waste your money on this disappointing product.

Pros
  • Great reception and range for receiving marine VHF radio signals.
Cons
  • Requires a bit more assembly and installation time than some other marine antennas on the market.

Excellent VHF Antenna

I installed this antenna on my boat as an upgrade to another Shakespeare. It has more range and better reception. Well worth the extra money especially if you are fishing offshore.

Pros
  • Marine Antennas
Cons
  • Long Shipping

Top of the line.

Very good antenna. I replaced a low level Shakespearean antenna with this model and immediately started receiving many more transmissions and had no problems transmitting. The installation went smoothly. The antenna is very well made and looks clear.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
