by Height & Gain
3' Marine VHF Antennas
3 dB Gain
Short and built for close-range communication, these antennas are ideal for smaller boats, RIBs, dinghies, and sailboats that heel significantly. The 3 dB gain provides a wide radiation pattern, meaning your signal stays strong even when the boat rocks or rolls. Perfect for inshore use, calm conditions, or boats with limited mounting space.
4 Foot VHF Antennas
3-6 dB Gain
A step up in both size and performance, 4-foot antennas are a favorite for center consoles, bay boats, and mid-sized cruisers. Available in both 3 dB and 6 dB options, these antennas offer a good mix of flexibility and range. They're ideal for coastal cruising, intercoastal travel, and boaters who need reliable comms without the bulk of an 8-footer.
8' VHF Antennas
6-9 dB Gain
The industry standard for offshore powerboats, sportfishers, and trawlers. The extra height and gain give you excellent line-of-sight range—essential for long-distance hailing, weather updates, and emergency calls. Choose 6 dB for rougher waters (better stability), or 9 dB for maximum range in calm conditions. This is the go-to for serious VHF performance.
10+ Foot Antennas
9 dB Gain
Designed for large vessels, trawlers, and commercial boats, these high-gain antennas offer the longest communication range possible over VHF. The narrow radiation pattern focuses your signal for pinpoint distance—ideal for open-water crossings, commercial ops, or offshore cruising. Not recommended for smaller boats, sailboats or high-motion installs.
