SandShark Lite Series Boat Anchor - Shallow Water Anchor Pole - Jet Ski Anchor, Kayak Anchor, Pontoon Boat Accessories for Beach and Sandbar - 316 Stainless Steel w/Handle and Padded Case

Easy to use and compact storage.

I kayak a lot and on sand bars or shallow water with fast currents, my grapnel style anchor never held my boat in place. It would always drift. I decided to give this anchor a shot and it is fantastic! Easy to auger into the sand, holds my kayak along with my friend's yak in place, and is really high quality. I recently capsized my kayak and lost the straight bar portion of the anchor and when I contacted Sand Shark, the offered to ship me one free of charge. I am very happy with this purchase.I was fully aware how long the anchor was when I purchased so I do not see any sense in deducting stars based on you may get a bit wet using the anchor if the tide comes in. It is wonderful for any shallow sandy areas or even the beach as the tide is coming in. This thing is great and is built to last forever.

Received my sand shark and it is a great anchor. Live is SW FL and use it all the time when island hopping in the area.I have a 23’ bay boat with only 1 PowerPole and the sand shark works great holding the bow. Also bought the bungee rope which works great with the anchor. The bag it comes in is padded so it doesn’t crash around in a locker..Every time I set it up or someone walks by they ask where I got it. Fair price on both items and I won’t be without either.

This is a review of the SandShark Lite 18" Sand Anchor.First off…this is an amazing tool for anchoring your light water craft to the shoreline or shallow sandbar!There’s a lot of room for enhancements though:The anchor comes in 2 parts; the shaft and the handle. Although the handle inserts through the islet of the shaft to allow for the turning of the anchor into the sand as a torquing device it could be improved. There is lateral play in the handle when twisting the shaft. I think a better solution would be a cap head screw handle which threads into the shaft allowing a precise fit and no lateral play in the handle when turning.The anchor shaft has a length of 18” which is great for shoreline or an exposed sandbar, but in a sandbar situation where the depth is over a couple feet you might have to dive under to twist the anchor into the sand. A screw-able shaft extension or longer shaft option would be a great enhancement to allow for a deeper water level should that be the case. I had mine anchor in about 3 feet of water and had to put on my mask to dive under to screw the anchor into the sand as my arms could not reach the handle without diving under.Lastly, the anchor is stainless steel which is awesome except for the fact that when submerged it is somewhat hard to see it. I would like to see a powder coating option of say optic yellow or day glow orange for visibility purposes and to ensure you don’t jam your toes into it while walking.Overall…I love this product and would recommend it for the anchorage of any light water craft (Kayak/SUP/Jetski). I used it on my 15’ inflatable Body Glove Crusader SUP to keep it anchored and even with 15-20mph winds and choppy water the anchor held solidly.

SandShark has wonderful products that are well built. This anchor works great to hold my boat along the beached shores of Lake Michigan. My neighbor was so impressed he bought one the next day for his boat. Couldn’t be happier with the product.

RustedJust platedThey lie about it being stainlessJunk!!!

We tried it with our 21' crownline at the sand bar in Lake Havasu. No dice. Seems like a great design but this just pulled right out of the sand/water. It may have worked better if it had larger blades (more and wider - for better and deeper grip). Maybe the sand was just too loose or the current too strong in our case??? Nice quality product and easy to use - and probably great for a much smaller boat with far less weight to hold. We had to return it (because it was useless for US). We ended up with the Extreme Max 3006.6817 Self-Hammering Beach Spike Anchor instead which has worked well. Substantially heavier than this Sand Shark, but... it's an anchor so, that makes sense, right? FYI: At the sandbar we use both the Beach Spike (off the stern) and the WindRider Boat Anchor (off the bow). But for regular anchoring off shore we just use the WindRider alone (off the bow) without issue. Happy Boating Y'all!Purchased both here on amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C25HKP4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/WindRider-Boat-Anchor-Kit-Fortress/dp/B089WG7Z1D/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Delivered as expected. Great product

Great anchor for sand bars or beach.

Held the ski really well. The handle set up could be a lot better. To loose to try and get the anchor started straight. A fixed attachment point would be so much easier.

This work just as it should be careful though if using for a pontoon boat. Your best bet is to have 2 and always anchor the side where the wind is coming from

It pulled out of the sand and my jet ski was on the beach and the anchor was stolen though the night not happy would not recommend....😕

Ok
