The Shakespeare 5235-XT Galaxy 8’ AM/FM Antenna is a premium marine broadcast antenna engineered for superior AM and FM radio reception on boats where reliable audio is essential. Designed with Shakespeare’s Galaxy™ performance technology, this antenna delivers enhanced signal clarity and range compared to standard AM/FM antennas—making it ideal for extended cruising, coastal boating, and everyday use on larger vessels.

At 8 feet in length, the 5235-XT maximizes signal pickup for both AM and FM bands, helping you stay tuned to your favorite stations even in marginal reception areas. Its high-efficiency design and robust construction ensure consistent performance through changing conditions and long service life in harsh marine environments.

Built from durable, marine-grade fiberglass, the Galaxy 5235-XT resists salt spray, UV exposure, vibration, and weather extremes. The white finish integrates cleanly with most boat tops, radar arches, and cabins, while standard base compatibility allows easy installation with existing antenna mounts (mount hardware sold separately).

Whether you’re outfitting a large yacht, sportfisher, cruiser, or pontoon, the Shakespeare 5235-XT Galaxy 8’ AM/FM Marine Antenna provides reliable broadcast reception with classic marine durability.
