Features

  • YOUR ANCHOR SHOULD HOLD THE FIRST TIME: Wind shifts and a dragging anchor puts your boat on the rocks or into another hull. This double sided box anchor digs in from either direction so you set it once and stay put through changing conditions.
  • HALF THE ROPE AND NO CHAIN NEEDED: Fluke anchors need a 7 to 1 scope and a separate chain. This box anchor holds at a steep 2 to 1 ratio and ties directly to your anchor line. Less gear to buy, less rope to pull, less to store on board.
  • FOLDS FLAT AND LOCKS OPEN WITH ONE HAND: Spring loaded pins lock the flukes when you open it. Collapse it flat when done. Takes up a fraction of the space of a traditional anchor in your bow locker, cockpit, or storage compartment on any size boat.
  • HOT DIP GALVANIZED TO LAST FOR YEARS: Cheap anchors use thin zinc plating that chips and corrodes in one season. This is hot dip galvanized, the same coating on bridge cables and dock pilings. Handles salt and fresh water for years without rusting.
  • SIZED FOR BOATS UP TO 35 FEET: The 26lb handles offshore boats, large cabin cruisers, and sailboats. Also available in 13lb for boats up to 21ft and 19lb for up to 30ft. Better Boat is a family owned American company based in Miami Beach, Florida.

Description

You drop anchor, shut off the engine, and start fishing. Ten minutes later you look up and you are 50 yards from where you started. The anchor dragged. Now you are drifting toward the rocks, toward the dock, or into the path of another boat. A dragging anchor is not just an inconvenience. It is a safety problem. The Better Boat Box Anchor solves this with a double sided design that digs into the bottom from either direction. If wind or current pushes you over the anchor, the opposite set of flukes catches and resets automatically. No dragging, no spinning, no resetting. Standard fluke anchors only grab from one side and require a 7 to 1 scope ratio with a separate chain. This box anchor holds at a steep 2 to 1 ratio with no chain needed, which means you carry half the rope and less gear overall. Available in three sizes. The 13lb is built for jet skis, PWCs, skiffs, and sport boats up to 21 feet. The 19lb handles pontoons, cabin cruisers, deck boats, and offshore boats up to 30 feet. The 26lb is sized for large cabin cruisers, sailboats, and offshore boats up to 35 feet. Select your size above to see dimensions and specs. Better Boat is a family owned American company based in Miami Beach, Florida. The flukes lock into position with spring loaded pins and fold completely flat when you are done. A 26lb anchor that stores like a briefcase instead of a bulky fluke taking up half your bow locker. Hot dip galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion in salt and fresh water, the same coating used on bridge cables and dock pilings. This is not the thin zinc plating on cheap anchors that chips off in one season.

  • Great anchor
Style Name: 26 lbs
Works like a bear trap. We have a pontoon boat on a 9.9 hp private lake. My husband wanted the absolute best and strongest anchor. Thank goodness he bought this one. Once we drop the anchor, our boat doesn’t move. It’s perfect for the muddy bottom of our lake. It doesn’t require a long rope so we aren’t drifting all over like with other anchors. I’m confident we can hold many pontoons in place when we tie up. This works better than the mushroom anchor and we don’t need a different one for the sandbar. Best of all, my husband is so proud of his anchor and wants to show it off to everyone. ... show more

  • Best boat anchor ever
Style Name: 19 lbs
The box anchor = best boating idea we’ve had in years. 🛥️⚓ No more circling, guessing, or cussing at the wind. This thing grabs the bottom like it means it—even in current or chop. Drop it, set it, and boom: the boat stays put like it’s on vacation. 🏖️ Folds up nicely, easy to store, and no wrestling match when pulling it back in. It’s compact but holds like a champ—honestly, I think it might be tougher than me. If you’re tired of drifting off while trying to relax, fish, or swim—get yourself a box anchor. Your stress level (and your back) will thank you. ... show more

  • Alligator teeth
Style Name: 26 lbs
Works better than a lot of basic anchors. It is very heavy and folds up with a little extra effort. Looks like alligator teeth. Highly recommend this product.

  • Great but hard to change from box to straight
Style Name: 26 lbs
We like these anchors and they grip the lake surface well. We put one on each end of the tritoon, and we never move; however, it’s really hard to move it from the box to the straight. We are hoping it loosens up. We’ve used them maybe 10 times already.

  • Great anchor.
Style Name: 19 lbs
Great boat anchor for the lake. Used all summer in sandy, mud and rocks and held 21 ft Malibu boat in place. Folds down to store in tighter spaces.

  • Works great! Would buy agian!
Style Name: 13 lbs
I bought the 19lb anchor for my pontoon. This item works fantastic for the sandy-bottomed channels/lakes I am in. Keeps the boat where I want it. I will be buying a 2nd one so I have one for each end of the boat.

  • Holds where you drop it!
Style Name: 19 lbs
I was looking for an anchor for our new boat. It is a large, 24’ wakesurf boat, so it is heavy. I’ve been boating for 45 years, and the fluke style anchors still give me trouble. I wanted something that would hold well, but is easy to use. This fit the bill. I bought the 19 lb version hoping it was small enough to fit in the anchor lock, yet big enough to hold our boat in position. It fit the bill on both accounts. It fits nicely in the anchor lock, and has no problem holding a 6,000 lb boat in place. It is also nice no anchor chain is a needed. I’m glad I decided to give this a try. ... show more

  • easy
Style Name: 13 lbs
Works great and easier to get out of the ground (lake) Not easy to open and close for me (I am female) I like that I can get it out of the water and it holds the boat in place.
