Shakespeare AIS 8' Galaxy VHF/AIS Antenna – 6dB Stainless Steel Ferrule – 5225-AIS

The Shakespeare 5225-AIS Galaxy Antenna is a high-performance 8-foot VHF/AIS marine antenna engineered to deliver clear, reliable communication and enhanced AIS reception for coastal and offshore boating. Designed specifically for VHF radio and AIS transceiver use, this antenna ensures dependable signal strength and range when navigation safety and communication are critical.

Featuring a 6 dB gain, the Galaxy 5225-AIS provides excellent transmission and reception performance, making it ideal for powerboats, sailboats, and yachts operating in open water. The antenna is tuned to support both marine VHF (156–162 MHz) and AIS frequencies (161.975 & 162.025 MHz), allowing one antenna to serve dual purposes without compromising performance.

Built with Shakespeare’s renowned Galaxy fiberglass construction, this antenna includes a stainless steel ferrule for added strength, corrosion resistance, and secure mounting in harsh marine environments. The durable white fiberglass radome resists UV exposure, salt spray, and vibration, ensuring long service life and consistent performance.

The Shakespeare 5225-AIS is compatible with standard marine antenna mounts (sold separately) and integrates easily with most VHF radios and AIS systems. Trusted by recreational boaters and professionals alike, Shakespeare antennas are known for their reliability and industry-leading quality.

Key Performance Features

  • AIS-Specific Tuning: Optimized for maximum efficiency on AIS frequencies while remaining fully functional for standard VHF voice communication.

  • 6dB High Gain: Provides a balanced radiation pattern that maintains a strong signal even in rolling seas.

  • Galaxy High-Gloss Finish: Polyurethane coating protects the fiberglass from yellowing and "blooming" (splinters) caused by UV exposure.

  • Internal Shielding: Features low-loss brass and copper elements for superior signal reception and transmission.

  • Stainless Steel Ferrule: Heavy-duty 1"-14 thread mounting nut ensures a secure fit on standard marine mounts.

  • Supplied Cable: Includes 20 feet of RG-8/X "low-loss" cable and a PL-259 connector for a clean installation.

Are you connecting this to a Class B AIS transponder?

Because AIS transponders are sensitive to high VSWR, I can provide a quick testing guide to ensure your cable run is perfect before you head offshore. Would you like me to share those steps?
