Shakespeare 5225-XT Galaxy 8' VHF Marine Antenna – 6 dB Gain – 5225-XT
The Shakespeare 5225-XT Galaxy Antenna is a high-performance 8-foot marine VHF antenna designed to deliver extended-range communication for coastal and offshore boating. Ideal for larger powerboats, sailboats, sportfishing boats, and cruisers, this antenna provides exceptional clarity and signal strength when reliable VHF communication matters most.
Featuring a 6 dB gain, the 5225-XT offers increased transmission and reception range compared to shorter antennas, making it well suited for open water, offshore use, and long-distance communication. Shakespeare’s Galaxy™ design enhances efficiency and signal clarity while maintaining a durable, lightweight construction.
Built with a marine-grade fiberglass radome, the antenna is engineered to withstand harsh marine conditions including UV exposure, salt spray, vibration, and severe weather. The sleek white finish complements a wide range of boat styles. The 5225-XT is compatible with standard marine antenna mounts (sold separately) and works seamlessly with most marine VHF radios.
Backed by Shakespeare’s reputation for quality and reliability, the Galaxy 5225-XT is a trusted choice among professional captains and recreational boaters alike.
Key Performance Features
-
6dB High Gain: Provides a significant boost in range over 4-foot antennas, making it ideal for offshore fishing and coastal cruising.
-
XT Radome Construction: Extra-thick fiberglass walls finished with a high-gloss, non-yellowing polyurethane coating to withstand extreme UV and salt spray.
-
Stainless Steel Ferrule: A heavy-duty 1"-14 thread mounting nut ensures a professional, secure fit on standard marine mounts.
-
Low-Loss Coax: Pre-wired with 20 feet of RG-8/X "low-loss" cable, which delivers more power to the antenna than standard RG-58 cable.
-
Brass & Copper Elements: High-quality internal components are hand-soldered to ensure maximum conductivity and a life-long connection.

Pro Tip: To maintain the high-gloss finish, we recommend waxing the antenna radome with a quality marine wax once a season. This prevents salt buildup and keeps the fiberglass from becoming brittle.
Are you mounting this on a powerboat with a folding mount?
Because the 5225-XT is a heavy, 8-foot antenna, I highly recommend using a Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Ratchet Mount (like the Shakespeare 5187) rather than a nylon mount, which can flex or break under the leverage.
The Shakespeare 5225-XT Galaxy 8' VHF Marine Antenna – 6 dB Gain delivers long-range performance, durability, and trusted marine reliability.
