Shakespeare 5396-AIS Galaxy 4' Little Giant AIS Antenna – 5396-AIS

The Shakespeare 5396-AIS Galaxy “Little Giant” Antenna is a compact, high-performance 4-foot marine AIS antenna designed specifically for AIS transceivers and receivers. Ideal for boats where space is limited, this antenna delivers reliable AIS signal reception without the height of a full-size antenna, making it perfect for sailboats, powerboats, and smaller vessels.

Engineered and tuned exclusively for AIS frequencies (161.975 & 162.025 MHz), the 5396-AIS ensures optimal performance for AIS Class A and Class B systems. Its high-efficiency design provides dependable reception of nearby vessel transmissions, enhancing situational awareness and on-the-water safety.

Built with Shakespeare’s renowned Galaxy fiberglass construction, the Little Giant features a durable white fiberglass radome that resists UV exposure, vibration, and harsh marine conditions. Compact yet rugged, it is designed for long service life in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The 5396-AIS is compatible with standard marine antenna mounts (sold separately) and is an excellent choice as a dedicated AIS antenna or in installations where separating AIS and VHF antennas is recommended for optimal performance.

Key Performance Features

  • AIS-Specific Tuning: Optimized for AIS transponders (Class A and Class B) to ensure maximum data throughput and range.

  • 3dB Gain: Features a broad, hemispherical radiation pattern that keeps your signal "on the horizon" even when the boat is pitching and rolling in rough seas.

  • Galaxy High-Gloss Finish: A durable polyurethane coating protects against UV yellowing and prevents fiberglass "blooming" or splinters.

  • Hand-Soldered Internal Elements: Brass and copper elements are hand-assembled to ensure maximum signal conductivity.

  • Stainless Steel Ferrule: Heavy-duty 1"-14 thread mounting sleeve provides a sleek look and a rock-solid connection to your mount.

  • Supplied Cable: Includes 20 feet of RG-8/X "low-loss" cable, which is significantly more efficient than the standard RG-58 found on cheaper antennas.

Are you mounting this alongside a standard 4' VHF antenna?

To prevent signal interference and "shadowing," it's important to maintain proper spacing between your voice VHF and your AIS antenna. I can provide the recommended separation distances for a T-top installation.

The Shakespeare 5396-AIS Galaxy 4' Little Giant AIS Antenna is a smart solution for boat owners seeking reliable AIS performance in a compact, space-saving antenna design.
