The Garmin GMR Fantom™ 18x white dome radar delivers the same high-performance solid-state scanning as the black version, now in a clean, white finish to match lighter vessel designs and factory helm installations. It is built for boaters who need long-range radar clarity, fast target tracking, and dependable navigation support in rain, fog, darkness, and busy marine environments.
With 50 watts of output power, this white model provides excellent target separation and extended detection up to 48 nautical miles, helping you identify land, other boats, weather formations, and markers at a distance. The high-speed rotation rate of up to 60 RPM ensures rapid refresh for tracking moving targets—even when traveling at higher speeds or navigating crowded waters.
MotionScope™ Doppler technology highlights moving objects in color, giving you better awareness of approaching vessels, cross traffic, and weather fronts. The power save and timed transmit modes help conserve battery power by customizing when the radar is active, making it ideal for trolling, anchoring, or overnight cruising.
Designed with a compact 18-inch dome and a sleek white finish, the Fantom 18x blends seamlessly with most fiberglass and gelcoat surfaces, offering a modern aesthetic on sailboats, cabin cruisers, coastal fishing boats, and yachts. Advanced target resolution settings improve clarity, allowing you to distinguish between closely grouped targets with greater precision.
The Garmin GMR Fantom 18x integrates easily with compatible Garmin chartplotters, including the GPSMAP™ series and ECHOMAP™ Ultra units, making it a premium addition for offshore cruisers, salmon charters, and coastal navigators around Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest.
