FX-125 Anchor - 69lb 

For over three decades, the much lighter Fortress Anchor has out-performed substantially heavier steel anchors in holding power tests conducted all around the world.  In the US Navy tests, not only did the Fortress out-perform heavier steel anchors, they were also able to withstand pull loads that averaged over 200x their own weight. 

Fortress Anchors are constructed using a high-tensile, corrosion-resistant, aluminum magnesium alloy. This results in a lighter, easy to handle anchor with superior holding power.

The anchors have been designed to be easily disassembled for compact storage, or as a spare and/or a storm anchor.  All Fortress Anchors are precision-machined for sharpness and quick penetration into common sea bottoms, which ensures faster setting-performance.

Fortress Marine Anchors offers a 100% Hassle-Free Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty.

How Fortress Became the World's Best Anchor 02:10

Fortress Anchors started in 1986 when our founder, and avid cruiser, Don Hallerberg, experienced a series of anchor failures at sea. He knew there had to be a better, and safer, way to anchor. He went to work and he created an anchor out of light weight high tensile aluminum-magnesium alloy, without any welds that could fail. The result was the Fortress Anchor, a light weight anchor that could easily be disassembled for stowage, who's parts could easily be replaced. He put the Fortress Anchor to the test in over 20 world wide, including the Biscayne Bay challenge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SCSRACVYYM&t=53s) where a 69lb lb Fortress Anchor brought a tug boat at full steam to a complete halt. The line eventually separated and snapped, but the Fortress Anchor was brought to the surface without a scratch. There was also the Chesapeake Bay test where independent researchers tested the Fortress against 12 different anchor configurations, and the Fortress was shown to hold stronger and set faster than each alternative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ODGArRx34&t=30s. Today, Fortress Anchors are still proudly made here in the USA and we still offer our industry-leading lifetime parts replacement warranty.

How to Set a Fluke Anchor - Fortress Marine Anchors

Setting a fluke or Danforth style anchor is one of the most valuable skills that you could learn as a boater. In this video, we teach you how to set your Fortress or Guardian Anchor in a deep water anchorage and at the sand bar. Remember, when using a Fortress or Guardian Anchor, it's their superior design that creates the holding power, not their weight. As such, you're going to want to make sure you have a long enough anchor rode with enough line and chain to get the flukes to dig in. Additionally, you'll want to make sure that you're accounting for swing so as not to let your boat swing into other boats or structures near your vessel. This video will help you account for all the safety steps you need to take to get a strong and safe set from your fluke or Danforth style anchor.
