Boatenna Company has manufactured marine antennas for TVs since 1986.

About us:
In 1986 the amazing NY Mets baseball team was in the World Series! To get clear reception, to see the games, a sailor invented this marine TV antenna. The Mets won an incredible, tight series, against the Boston Red Sox, 4 games to 3!
Before Boatenna, sailboat owners had two choices for marine TV antennas:
a) Mount a bulky powered plastic enclosed disc mounted somewhere on their mast
Expensive, bulky, adds windage
b) Use rabbit ears - worthless!
The first choice was expensive, difficult to install, and not relevant for a performance sailboat. The second choice was inexpensive resulting in terrible reception.
Boatenna was created to easily install on a sailboat taking advantage of a sailboat's halyard to raise the TV antenna high, necessary for optimum broadcast reception.
Boatenna delivers free boat TV antenna reception from Digital TV & HDTV broadcast stations. Thousands of boat owners use Boatenna today.
*over-the-air VHF/UHFstations will end broadcasting 2/17/2009. The good news is Standard Definition SDTV and High Definition HDTV stations will be broadcast. No more snow or ghosting!! Reception will be either all (perfect picture) or nothing ( no picture at all). The reception range distance will be less, but when the picture is received, it will be perfect. An antenna for over-the-air reception now becomes more important. Older TV can easily obtain a low cost adapter to receive SDTV only. Look for US government issued coupons to save $$ on adapters.
