Sand Shark Anchor Boat Size Usage Recommendation Guide
We’ve put together this handy guide outlining the boat size usage requirements and recommendations for both SandShark Anchors, The Original and new Junior models, listing the various types of water and environmental conditions. We’ve also included some comparisons of similar shallow anchors and how they stand-up versus both of the Sand Shark Anchors. We think you’ll see without a doubt that the Sand Shark’s are the best performing shallow water anchors available on the market and the most bang for your buck!

*Note: These are only recommendations. Please use this guide as a reference to determine which anchor will be suitable for your needs. We cannot accurately determine the exact conditions (firmness of bottom or beach, currents, cross currents, wind, boat traffic, etc…) which you will be using the anchor in. We believe SandShark Products will provide the best possible holding power on the market, and this guide will help you determine which anchor is best suited for you.
**Note: For best results use a combination of (2) SandShark Anchors (i.e. SS+SS, or SS+JR, or JR+JR) in front and in back to keep your watercraft in the same place.
Tips: This chart guide recommends deploying your on-board boat anchors in combination with the Sand Shark Anchors if or as needed depending on the environmental and water conditions.
