Classic Whip VHF Antennas

Shakespeare Classic Whip VHF Antennas – Compact, Flexible, and Built for Versatility

The Shakespeare Classic Whip Series offers a range of compact, lightweight VHF antennas designed for quick installations, flexible mounting options, and reliable short-range communication. Perfect for smaller boats, RIBs, center consoles, or vessels with space constraints, these antennas feature durable stainless steel whips or reinforced fiberglass shafts for long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments.

Ideal for trailered boats, temporary installations, or vessels requiring a low-profile antenna, the Classic Whip series provides essential communication at an affordable price point, while offering versatile mounting options like magnetic bases, suction cups, and flush mounts.

Flexible Mounting Solutions: Models equipped with magnet mounts, suction cups, flush mounts, or standard threaded bases.
