What is a SandShark anchor?

A unique shallow water anchor used for jet skis and boats - developed by the SandShark team in the United States.

How do SandShark anchors work?

SandShark anchors use an auger (screw) design that when twisted slices into the sand. Once set deep enough, the anchor becomes an incredibly strong fixed point to which you can securely tether your jet ski or watercraft.

Product Use

How do you use SandShark anchors?

Check out our How to Use page for more information about using your SandShark anchor with your jet ski.

Are SandShark anchors difficult to screw into the sand?

No, all SandShark anchors can be set in sand without too much effort. Anchors equipped with a steel auger (Ultimate PWC and Lite 18) are the easiest to screw into the sand.

Where is the best location on the beach to set my SandShark anchor?

This can depend based on the tides and conditions. For example, for incoming tides on calm days, you can set your anchor close to the shoreline and have your jet ski floating in deeper water. For rougher conditions, you may choose to set your anchor in deeper water to hold your jet ski off the beach.

Help & Troubleshooting

My anchor is jammed and won't extend/collapse

If the anchor pins are working correctly and the anchor will not extend or retract, it is most likely locked in place with dried sand or debris.

SandShark's recommended solution is to completely submerge the anchor in the water to loosen any dried debris. Once released, thoroughly rinse each piece and if possible leave to dry before putting the anchor back together again.

I've lost a part for my anchor

Please contact us about availability of spare parts. We are able to source replacement pins for Ultimate PWC anchor and replacement handles for Lite 18 anchor.

Caring for your SandShark anchor

To ensure your SandShark anchor remains in good working order, it is important to thoroughly rinse your anchor after each use. SandShark recommends that after every use the anchor is taken completely apart and each piece rinsed of all sand, mud or debris. On occasion it is also recommended to spray a small amount of silicon lubricant into the locking pins to help protect them from salt water.
