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.
