If you are a cruiser, then you know that watching other boats come into anchor can be a pretty fun spectator sport. Particularly when you have been securely set for a day or two, reading a book in the cockpit, perhaps a drink in hand. We have watched numerous boats make 3 or 4 attempts to set their own hooks. We never have to reset. EVER! I really don’t think this is lack of skill on their part. It is simply the anchor. All anchors are NOT equal.

Good day I wish to say the units you sold us are working flawlessly. Your product line is truly a first class one.  All the info you gave me turned out to be right on! For this I wish to say thank you Garry Linne Megafend mooring products  

Love! my anchors.  Bought, one, 8 lb anchor, two years ago @ the Newport, RI Boat Show.  It worked so well, I bought another at the same show this year for my 19 ft center console boat with a 115 hp E-TEC Evinrude engine. I have a challenging anchoring situation at a place called Boat Beach on the Westport River in Westport, Massachusetts.  One has to anchor the stern at an accurate position as your coming in perpendicular to the beach.  There is a strong current running parallel to the beach and there are other boats close by.  It works…

Mantus has preformed flawlessly from Kemah to Saint Joe Florida. We have spent the night on the anchor approximately 40 nights and the Mantus has set the first time every time. We have never drug and have been through multiple wind and current shifts without issue. We have recommended the Mantus to anyone who will listen and feel it was probably our best purchase in preparations for cruising. Dan Kelley & Audrey Eaton S/V Brynli

We’ve now made two trips from Seattle to Alaska with our Kadey Krogen 48NS. We absolutely love the Mantus. It has always impressed us at how quickly it takes hold. The only occasion where it may take a bit of time to set is when you can feel (and hear) it being dragged across a solid slab of rock. And even in those cases it seem to find a purchase. We’ve come to trust it to hold and that is in Alaska and Northern  British Columbia where anchoring is often in deep locations with little room to swing resulting in…

Hi Greg, It was nice talking with you earlier. I have used a Mantus anchor for the past two years on our 1990 Catalina 34 MK II , Pleiades, with great success.  We have anchored in sand, gravel, sand plus shells, sand with grass, and mud.  We have experienced winds from calm to 40 knots while at anchor. and have also had situations where the boat had rotated 180 degrees due to tidal effects, and at no time have we ever dragged anchor! Furthermore, in addition to Pleiades, my wife and I also own the Jeanneau 36i Sandpiper that was part of the Sunsail…

Received the anchor 25lb Mantus.  I chuckled when I saw the box 4″ in height. Removed the top of the box and was impressed  how securely the anchor parts were packaged.  Assembled the anchor  per the instructions – used plenty of grease.  Went to my boat and removed the 10k Bruce that’s been on there for years and installed the Mantus.  When I called you to get your opinion on how the Mantus would sit on the bow roller the Bruce had been on, you said it would be okay and you were right.  Sailed to Santa Cruz Island, Santa Barbara Channel (off…

Dear Mantus Anchor: I just had to send you a note telling you that I love my Mantus Anchor. I have a 30 foot Hunter Sailboat that we sail at Clinton Lake – Lawrence, Kansas.  It’s a Corp of Engineers lake and the bottom is pure mud!  We also get some serious wind gusts here on this lake.  I have (shall I say, had!) a NorthStar CQR plow anchor (35 lb.) that we used for a lunch anchor.  It would never really set in this muddy lake bottom and I was always on guard whenever we stopped to swim or…

Hi Greg, Just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with our new Mantus anchor.  We just got back from the BVI where we installed the anchor and used it.  It grabbed the first time, no plowing like our previous Delta, and dug in deep. Thanks again, Rob
