Boat Anchors
Reliable boat anchors built for lasting performance and safe mooring.
At The Outdoor Warehouse, we know a dependable anchor is your first line of defense against currents, winds, and tides. Our collection of boat anchors includes trusted designs like Danforth, plow, and mushroom anchors — each tested for strength, corrosion resistance, and holding power. Whether you’re on a calm freshwater lake or offshore in challenging saltwater conditions, we carry anchors that meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards and provide confidence on every trip.
Choosing the Right Anchor
The right anchor depends on your vessel size and the waters you frequent:
- Fluke (Danforth): Lightweight and compact, perfect for sandy or muddy bottoms and day boating.
- Plow Anchors: Strong, self-resetting hold in grass, weeds, and mixed seabeds — ideal for cruisers.
- Mushroom Anchors: Best for small boats or moorings in calm waters. Reliable for long stays.
- Grapnel Anchors: Compact, foldable, and great as a backup anchor or for kayaks and dinghies.
