- Do you want to know our secrets to anchoring like a superyacht?
Want to know how to anchor a boat safely & easily?
Well, watch on friends. We met a superyacht captain a few years back. Over a few beers he told us how superyachts anchor so that they don't drag and don't damage their equipment. It was enlightening.
In over 12 years of sailing and anchoring, we were still picking up little tips.
So rather than asking you to wait, we thought we would package all this information up and tell you exactly how we anchor. So, no more sleepless nights, no more worrying over dragging and waking up in the shipping lanes.

Great vid, guys. One additional trick I do is to put my foot on the snubber line forward of the bow roller while backing down. If you feel the line vibrating you know the anchor is skipping across the bottom. If you feel the line stretch and get very tight like a cable you're set and its time to crack a cold one.
I just got a sailboat not long ago and I desperately needed to learn how to anchor this was a great video thank you
Hi guys your channel and a few others inspired me and a few weeks ago I bought my first yacht. Maybe next year I'll see you in the med. Love the videos keep them coming cheers
Good to get started with this. Recommend if anchoring in a river to use two anchors, one upstream, the heaviest on chain, one downstream either all chain or chain and rode. When the tide is outgoing the outflowing tide plus the current will be the stronger force on the boat so needs stronger tackle. Using two anchors this way means that your anchor does not reset at every change of tide and stays bedded in. Additionally if you use a stern anchor to hold your boat bow to the swell make sure your neighbors are aware that you may not be swinging in the same way they are. Some people paint their chain, some use cable ties to mark depth others tie something every so much distance.
Finally a great vid on anchoring Thank you! Technical Tuesday is bloody useful don't give it up.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with other boaters. Often times, we may read or hear about how some poor fool was struggling to get good set on their anchor, but rarely do we hear how someone went over to lend a hand to help that person learn. We were all inexperienced at one time and had to learn, which often involves failing.
Excellent video! I would add 2 additional recommendations.
1) the importance of establishing a site bearing on-land as you engage reverse. Sighting two "non-moving" objects in-line will help verify that your are not dragging. Alternatively you can use your hand compass to establish a bearing onto land.
2) Place a post-it on your compass with the heading of the anchorage exit. In case you need to quickly leave the anchorage at night or deteriorating weather, you will immediately know in which direction to steer the boat, even if chart plotter fails.
Love this! Having had motor boats for years and been able to stay overnight at marinas, we have yet to really test out our anchoring on our sailboat that we've had for only one season. I'm sure we'll be referencing this great video in the near future. And, I'll definitely be painting my chain for length. Thanks for this!
We find that in crowded anchorages our radar is a lot of help. If you go into an anchorage with maybe dozens of boats you can either choose to wind your way through the anchorage (which we do sometimes using a different technique) looking for a suitable spot or be happy at the fringes of the anchorage. However, using the radar you ca spot open spaces very easily and then use the radar and your chartplotter to measure the distances between the radar returns and then decide if, based on the expected scope, a particular spot will have enough swing room. This is very useful at night. Also, we find that the use of sonar charting (or live charting) can also be very useful. We will drive through an anchorage recording the depths and weave between boats in what we think is a suitable spot and determine the exact makeup fo the bottom, which way it slopes, where the other boats are located (obviously not where you drove), and so forth. We then have a much better map of the bottom and of any obstructions of other items that may cause issues.
Thank you. i love the way you share knowledge.
We have been boating/sailing for years and we always learn something new watching TH-cam videos like this. Thank you.
Great advice on this. Should be of use to any newbies to anchoring. Awesome as usual.
This is excellent. For years, I have tried to explain anchoring to my wife....I think she will listen to you! Thanks Nick.
Much appreciated to learn more of your experience. Sharing this adds great value to your videos!
Well done, RubyRose! Well done!!!
Thanks!
Fantastic lesson for we novices Nick, thank you!
Nick! I really love these educational videos! These are really great! P.S. My girl and I bought a 44 footer and will be seeing you all out there really soon! Thank you both for being such inspirations for us and giving us hope for a more beautiful life. :)
I love these Technical Tuesday videos, they are so helpful. Thank you
Excellent instructional anchoring video Nick and it also works well for single-handed vessels.....thank you!
Quick concise and very correct.
Thanks Nick. You always explain things in terms I think everyone can understand
Loving these technical Tuesday vids, keep them coming!
Thank you again Nick for the instructional video. I have learned a lot. Keep them coming!!
Thanx Nick !! Your videos are always enjoyable. Keep em coming.
This was great, thanks Nick. I love these technical videos that you’re doing. Peace & fair winds
Excellent video, Nick. Thanks!
Great information. Brilliant episode.
New to sailing this was very helpful.. Thanks
EXCELLENT INFO well presented!! Thank you.
As usual, excellent with the exception of some crucial muffled words. That said, love Technical Tuesdays as they are genuinely useful.
Great work Nick, sharing & making tech aspects of sailing easier to understand / follow is a huge step towards in building confidence for others . I picked up some great points. Cheers
Great instructional video. Not quite how I was taught, but will give it a try. Love how the water is clear and you can see the anchor and chain.
Best anchoring video I have seen. Everything (including the elusive swinging circle) clearly explained. Thank you.
I've saved this video, thank you. No doubt we'll watch a dozen or more times for reference!
Was looking forward to this one. Thanks!
Spot on....Great instruction.....Well done...
Absolutely love this!!
Very informative, looking forward to putting it into practice. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. We appreciate it 👍🏻
Nice one Nick, another of your vids added to my library of really useful stuff
Another enjoyable tech Tuesday. As a relative newbie much appreciated and needed advice. Off to Mallorca in August on flotilla where I believe it’s mainly anchorage’s over night which will be a new experience for us. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Good job! Fully agree and practice this same method.
Excellent Nick
Love it, thx. One of the two things that always increases my anxiety, the other of course is docking. I tend to play out the rode, attach the snubber, back down on it, then run out the rode to scope. Which is probably what you stated, my error. Cheers!
Well done.... Sweet short and too the point.
Thanks for another awesome video. Really good tips and comprehensive. Not much to add, I'm afraid!
Hey Nick, Thanks for the anchor info. This presentation was great. Very relaxed. I perceive a lot of stress and frustration from you in your previous videos. This one was very pleasant to listen to. I learn well when the presentation is in this format. Thank you, Paul.
Great video! Thanks Nick
Good one Nick, makes me understand it all a bit better.
Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks for making it. I learned a lot as I have never anchored in salt water and never had to worry about tides. My dad has a Tartan 27 he often sails by himself on Lake Ontario. He came up with a way to anchor on his own. He would actually slowly go forward in idle and drop the anchor (only 20lbs Danforth) by hand from the stern. He would pay out the chain and rode then cleat it. When the boat stopped the anchor had been set and he would tie if off on a bow cleat then release it from the stern cleat and let it swing around. He doesn't have a windless so everything was always by hand anyway. Your way is better especially with 2 people. My dad's method would never work on a larger boat. The equipment is just too heavy. But for a small boat it works for a solo person. Anyway thanks again for the vid. As always I have learned something useful. Take care!
Thanks for the great tip. This is good knowledge for someone just starting out. Thanks again.
You the man Nick good job
10 years experience, a god by any other name! Experience counts! Thanks
Thanks! We are always concerned about anchoring , well done. Cheers
Once again, a good one. Cheers mate
Great Video, after 30 plus years of boating I learned a few things thank you for sharing. Safe Sailing
Thanks for sharing. We just purchased our first boat and we really need this tutorial
great tips, thanks for passing them on and a "how to video" is good for everyone to watch, refreshers the memory.
I really will watch anything you do..... Even though I don't have a boat.... what an ⚓️.
Andy Smith me too 😂 and I live around water. #islandgirl 🌺
Its called respect for the ocean an all that sail on it.. Kudo's
This info is good for all skill levels.
Now that was awesome. I learned a few things and thank you for that. Safe travels.
Love the tech videos....I wish everyone boating had to watch a how to video on anchoring, I've never had the pleasure of anchoring in the beautiful Caribbean but we do frequent a local lake and anchor up for the day and it's absolutely amazing on how many people shat the bed on the lack of anchoring skills that they possess.
Thanks Again for a great video and it was nice to see the Tula kids......love those kids also, I've watched all of their videos and bought the shirt, lol.
Excellent info👍✌️
Appreciate the tips..keep them coming 👍
Great video! A good sailor is always learning.
Excellent and useful video. Thanks
Thank you so much for your informative videos. They give me confidence to try the adventure myself.
Nick, Stephanie and I watched this video three times and you answered so many questions! We've been watching you and Terysa for years and I found this video when searching "How to anchor a motor yacht! Great titling. :)
Thanks for the video. There are lots of things to learn for sure.
thanks this helps a lot very useful info .. and well use it .. thank for sharing.
Fantastic vid sir. I now look forward to every Tuesday to pick up a pearl or two of earned wisdom.
Thanks for all these informative videos. I don't foresee owning a boat for a few more years but this gives me the confidence I need to start painting a more accurate picture based on reality and not just romantic fantasies.
thank you. great video.
Yeah Nick nice vid!
Excellent instructions for someone that has never experienced sailing.
Robert Torres - great eyes seeing a pin drop off the anchor just as it lands on the sandy bottom @ Hopetown. Hopefully Nick has a spare. Superb video as usual.
A quick overview of how to use the snubber would finish off this very simple very competent video
That was great! Please keep the technical vids coming, I'm learning a lot
Great video - thanks for the tips.
I like these technical episodes.
It's a great video format! Please do more episodes with sharing your experience on other topics of sailing!
Thanks for the video.
Great tips Nick, helps shorten the learning curve. Best tip, let out only enough for current depth, wait for anchor to set, then pay out scope. Thanks mucho
I don't own a sailboat, never sailed, my hubby does all the "handy work", but for some reason I love your technical videos. Thanks for the always great videos! Teisha
Excellent tutorial!
That is very useful thank you and a good explanation from you ,,I know it looks easy to do that video but many different shots/diagrams really appreciated
thanks for the helpful tips!
Good info Nick. In addition to paint on the chain, we added colored zip ties to a few links at the beginning of the color. These will flow through the gypsy and when the paint comes off gives reference to the length. Great video thanks
love your tech vids..well done
Great Video!
Great vid! Had to chase my boat down in the dingy once.
That's a nice shiny anchor chain you've got there
Good stuff. Thanks!
Excellent instruction.
Nicely done. Liking these tech videos.
Nice job!
I love your teaching thank you
Thank you very much - appreciated. Best regards -the crew of SnaggleTooth, Port Angeles, WA (USA)
Great Information!
Excelente video!! 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing 😎
