Pyramid Anchors
Pyramid anchors are designed to deliver exceptional stability and holding power in a wide range of marine environments. Their unique shape and durable construction make them a preferred choice for mooring systems, ensuring equipment, vessels, and structures stay securely in place.
Danforth Style Anchors
We also offer Danforth-style AC14 HHP and other “Halls Stockless” type anchors, known for its lightweight efficiency and reliable performance in sandy or muddy seabeds. These anchors are a solid choice for smaller vessels or secondary anchoring systems where portability and ease of use are key.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy should my anchor block be?
The size of the anchor block is determined by the buoyancy of the buoy, the type and length of mooring line being used, and the environmental conditions. The anchor block ideally has a submerged weight that is 3 times the buoyancy of the buoy minus the mooring weight. However, this can result in some very large anchor blocks. This is where environmental conditions come into play. If the location allows for a large scope of the mooring line, a smaller anchor block can be used. Also, if the buoy location is sheltered without large swells, the anchor can be made smaller as well.
