Shakespeare Galaxy 5018 15' 2-Piece VHF Marine Antenna
The Shakespeare Galaxy 5018 is a premium 15-foot, 2-piece VHF marine antenna built for vessels that demand the longest possible communication range. Part of Shakespeare’s Galaxy series, it delivers high-gain performance in a 2-piece design that makes handling, transport, and installation practical even at full 15-foot length — without compromising the signal strength that serious offshore mariners rely on.
Key Features
- 15-foot (approximately 4.6 m) antenna for maximum VHF gain and extended communication range
- 2-piece construction for easier handling, storage, and installation on larger vessels
- Galaxy series build quality — engineered for demanding offshore and coastal marine use
- Fibreglass construction resistant to UV, salt spray, and continuous marine exposure
- Compatible with standard VHF marine radios and SO-239/PL-259 coax connections
- Part No. 5018
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Best suited for larger powerboats, sportfishers, commercial vessels, and offshore cruisers where maximum VHF communication range is the priority. The 15-foot length provides the highest gain available in a standard VHF whip antenna, making it ideal for vessels operating well offshore, in remote areas, or in commercial operations where reliable long-range communication is essential. The 2-piece design is particularly practical for vessels with height restrictions during transport, storage, or marina berthing. Note that high-gain antennas have a narrow vertical radiation pattern — best suited to powerboats and larger vessels with minimal roll rather than sailing vessels. Confirm mounting location, cable run length, and connector type before ordering.
