your cell phone range is limited to the nearest land based cell tower
vhs marine radios are good over very long distances and ship to ship connections including a dedicated 24/7 coast guard monitored emergency channel
your cell phone is just good as an added backup insurance communication device

No. Especially a small VHF antenna that you'd mount on a personal pleasure/fishing boat
