This high-performance antenna delivers exceptional target detection and clarity, helping you navigate challenging waters with confidence. Whether you're dodging fog banks, tracking distant vessels, or scanning for hidden obstacles, this array ensures reliable performance in all conditions.

Superior Radar Performance on the Water

Engineered for boaters who demand precision, this 6-foot Fantom antenna leverages advanced solid-state pulse compression technology. Unlike traditional magnetron radars, it provides instantaneous target tracking and automatic gain adjustments, reducing clutter from rain, waves, or birds. The result? Crystal-clear images on your Garmin chartplotter, even in the heaviest weather.

Boaters often praise its ability to pick up small targets like kayaks or buoys at ranges up to several miles, making it a game-changer for offshore fishing trips or coastal cruising. The compact 6-foot design strikes the perfect balance between powerful range and easy mounting on mid-sized vessels.

Key Advantages for Serious Mariners

• Enhanced Range and Resolution: Optimized beam width for spotting targets farther and faster, with dual-range mode for simultaneous short- and long-range viewing.
• All-Weather Reliability: Solid-state design warms up in seconds and maintains peak performance without mechanical wear.
• Sleek Black Finish: Blends seamlessly with modern boat aesthetics, resisting corrosion in saltwater environments.
• Low Power Draw: Efficient operation that won't strain your vessel's electrical system during extended outings.

Imagine heading out at dawn for a tuna run— this antenna cuts through morning mist to reveal your quarry long before they spot you, giving you the edge every time.

Perfect Fit for Your Vessel

This array is tailored for Garmin Fantom open array radar systems, offering straightforward compatibility with popular models. It's ideal for sportfishing boats, yachts, and center consoles where space and performance matter. The 6-foot length provides more gain than smaller arrays without the wind resistance of larger ones, making it suitable for boats up to 50 feet.

Many owners swap in this antenna for upgrades, noting improved target separation in busy harbors or during night passages. Its rugged construction withstands pounding seas, UV exposure, and salt spray, ensuring years of dependable service.

Effortless Installation and Everyday Use

Mounting is straightforward with standard marine hardware—secure it to a radar arch, mast, or dedicated platform. Connect via Garmin's marine network cables for plug-and-play operation. Once installed, features like MotionScope Doppler technology highlight moving targets in color, while Dynamic Sea Clutter fine-tunes for your sea state.

For maintenance, a simple freshwater rinse after saltwater exposure keeps it performing like new. Avoid common pitfalls like improper alignment by using Garmin's setup wizards on your display—they calibrate rotation and bearing for pinpoint accuracy.

Why Boaters Choose This Antenna

In real-world scenarios, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Stream, this Fantom array stands out for its whisper-quiet operation and minimal interference with other electronics. Anglers report better lure presentation thanks to early fish school detection, while cruisers appreciate the peace of mind during low-visibility crossings.

Compared to bulkier alternatives, its lighter weight eases trailering, and the black radome hides grime for a polished look. It's not just radar—it's your vigilant watchman on the waves.

Equip your boat with this premium Garmin Fantom antenna array and experience radar like never before—safe, smart, and supremely capable.
