We don't know about you, but we're a little jaded when it comes to the preponderance Black Friday-Cyber Monday sales. But, we have to keep up with the Joneses lest we be left behind! So we're renaming our BFCM event to reflect the full line of beautiful stainless ULTRA Anchors we've put on sale. Now through December 2, 2024 you'll save $105 (11lb anchor) to $3,225 (440lb anchor)! All 14 anchors are sale priced at 15% off.
ULTRA Anchors definitely have a reputation of being expensive. Our "Stainless Steel-Cyber Monday" sale, however, makes them at least that much more affordable. As you may know, ULTRA Anchors are not simply defined by their sparkling appearance. The design, engineering, and manufacturing behind these 316L - 318LN stainless beauties often surprises even the most snobby of anchor "experts".
If you've been contemplating a new anchor, and have wondered about the performance characteristics of the ULTRA Anchor, here's an excellent real-life anchor comparison and review from Steve and Judy of the Internationally esteemed YouTube channel "Sailing Fair Isle":
An excellent video, with clear information. And as we live in the Pacific NW where the water is now about 45-degrees, we're jealous of the fact they can dive on their anchor in a swimsuit! You'll note in that video they also employ the ULTRA Flip Swivel, which is specifically designed to maximize the setting and retrieval of the ULTRA Anchor. We always recommend purchasing them together for top performance.
We tested an ULTRA Anchor on a charter catamaran in Tahiti a few years ago, and were summarily impressed with the anchor's performance. In particular, it securely held one blustery night where quite a few of the other boats in our anchorage dragged overnight. Granted, the boat we were on was brand new and had many luxury conveniences (a working ice maker on the fridge!), but the anchor certainly proved to be much more than the proverbial pretty face.

With any boat gear purchase, one has to weigh the cost vs benefit of new items. When it comes to the ULTRA Anchor, we can definitely attest to its beauty, functionality, and performance. Is it worth the price? If you can afford one, the answer is an unqualified YES. Hopefully our BFCM, er, SFSM Sale will help!
You'll find our entire line of Ultra Marine West products here in the Ultra Marine Collection.
