⚓ Anchoring, Ropes, Chains & Winches

Anchors, Ropes & Chains

Secure anchoring is critical for any vessel. We offer a comprehensive range of underwater anchor chains, nylon ropes, galvanised chains, and marine anchors suitable for everything from dinghies to large offshore boats.

Our anchor chains are available in 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm sizes, ensuring compatibility with most windlasses and capstans. They’re designed to handle New Zealand’s coastal conditions — from soft harbour mud to rocky seabeds.

AutoAnchor Winch Systems

For hands-free anchoring, we stock AutoAnchor windlass control counters like the AA560 electronic rode counter. These systems give you precise chain measurement and easy anchor deployment and retrieval — ideal for solo skippers or larger vessels.

Maxwell Winches & Accessories

Maxwell is synonymous with anchoring excellence. Our range includes Maxwell anchor chain rope winches, chain stoppers, and hand-held roving remote controls (e.g. Maxwell AA320). Whether you prefer vertical or horizontal windlass configurations, Maxwell systems deliver reliability in all weather.

Drum Winches & Rope Capstans

For trailer boats or high-capacity chain handling, drum winches and capstan systems provide secure, space-efficient anchoring. We stock models suited to recreational, light commercial, and charter vessels.

🔊 Audio, Electronics & Navigation

Upgrade your onboard entertainment with Fusion marine audio systems, including the MS-RA670 Media Player and accessories. Engineered for marine environments, Fusion delivers crystal-clear sound even in harsh conditions.

Samyung GPS & Simrad Autopilots

We stock Samyung active marine GPS antennas and Simrad autopilot systems, trusted by commercial skippers for their reliability and accuracy. Upgrade your navigation setup and cruise with confidence.

🛥 Marine Plumbing, Toilets & Hygiene

TMC Electric Toilets

Comfort matters offshore. TMC marine toilets with soft-close seats combine compact design with reliable performance — ideal for small cruisers or larger vessels with multiple heads.

OCEAN Waste Systems & Truma Heating

Keep your onboard plumbing efficient with OCEAN macerator pumps (12 V) for waste management, and Truma Combi 4E Plus Water/Air heaters for luxury hot water and climate control. Perfect for long stays aboard in NZ’s changing weather.

Marine Lighting

Reliable lighting is essential for navigation and onboard safety. We supply Bluewing deep-drop diamond fishing lights, navigation lighting, and general marine LED solutions for deck, cabin, and underwater use.

Buoys & Fenders

Protect your hull and mark your fishing lines with bright yellow buoys, Polyform USA fenders, and windy buoy systems available in multiple sizes. These are essential for docking and offshore fishing.

   Fire extinguishers, life jackets, and reliable lighting aren’t optional — they’re essential.

4. Plan for Comfort
   Toilets, heating, seating, and audio make a huge difference on long voyages or overnighters.
