Octochute - Sea Anchor

The Octochute Sea Drift Anchor (Sea Anchor) is a parachute-style device deployed in the water to slow and control a boat’s drift. Instead of anchoring to the seabed, it uses water resistance to stabilise the vessel in deep water.

How it works

  • The device opens like an underwater parachute when deployed.
  • Water resistance creates drag, slowing the boat’s movement.
  • This keeps the bow facing into wind and waves, improving stability and safety.
  • Packs into a soft storage bag, making it easy to stow onboard.

Typical uses

  • Offshore fishing boats controlling drift
  • Emergency stabilization in storms
  • Holding a vessel in deep water where a normal anchor cannot reach

This Octochute Sea Anchor will aid you in deep water fishing, holding your position.
