Why crews choose it

Everything you need to anchor with confidence

Built with sailors, for real anchorages. The details that matter when the wind picks up at 3am.

Drag alarm that wakes you

A loud on-board siren plus push notifications the instant the boat leaves the safe zone, even with the app closed.

Watch from anywhere

Leave one phone on the boat and keep an eye from a second phone or a laptop ashore. No shared account, just a code.

Works with any GPS

Phone GPS, a Bluetooth receiver, your chartplotter over NMEA, or Signal K. It picks the most accurate source automatically.

Built for every anchorage

Free swing, mooring buoy, restricted room, bow and stern lines, or a Bahamian moor. Pick the type and set the zone.

See every swing

A live swing view and a 24 hour track show holding from dragging at a glance, so a normal swing never fools you.

Free to use

The full anchor watch with no account and no sign up. Open it, drop the hook, and you are watching in seconds.

Use the GPS you already have

From the phone in your pocket to the helm

Phone and tablet GPS, an external Bluetooth receiver, NMEA 0183 over the network from a Garmin, B and G or Raymarine plotter, or Signal K from a Victron Cerbo. Auto mode always uses the most accurate live source.

Set an anchor in seconds, sleep easy all night

Drop the anchor at your position, set the swing radius from depth and rode, and arm the watch. The track records your swing so you can tell a wind shift from a dragging anchor at a glance.

What crews say after a season at anchor with Anchor Alarm Pro.

★★★★★

"Dropped the hook in a crowded bay and slept like a baby. The night we did move, the drag alarm had us up and sorted in seconds."

MLMara L.S/V Saltlight, 38ft sloop
★★★★★

"I run it on an old phone at the helm and watch from my bunk on my own phone. The bow and stern corridor is perfect for our Med mooring."

TRTomas R.Catamaran Vela
★★★★★

"Connected my chartplotter GPS over the boat network and the accuracy is excellent. Best free anchor watch I have used, full stop."
