How to Anchor Your Boat at the Beach or Sandbar

How to Anchor Your Boat at the Beach or Sandbar
In today’s episode we are going to cover three different methods to anchoring your boat at the sandbar or beach. Although, we demonstrate these techniques in our 18’ inshore boat at Peanut Island, you can apply these concepts to a larger vessel at any location. From anchoring with just a bow anchor, bow and stern, or beaching your boat we will go over some tips and trips to doing so safely and properly.

The Gale Force twins are awesome!!! I learn so much with them, very informative and clear in their explanations. Thank you so much.

[@AlThePal78]

you ladies are the reason I am fishing again

[@scottpainter9282]

I feel like this video should be mandatory for everyone going to Peanut. Especially on the weekends. Hahaha

[@davidchambers9953]

Emily and Amanda gale. Looks like you ladies are having a good time in your video fishing for the day Emily and Amanda gale

I beached a 16 ft V-hull on the Hudson river once. The beach was steeper than I liked and when my family were enjoying a bbq a large pleasure boat came by fast, the bow wave swamped mine and two other smaller boats. We were not in a speed regulated area so we just started bailing, lesson learned. Beach, unload then pull back to anchor.

I didn’t know about not trying up to the mangroves. Always enjoy your videos.

[@holeeshietpyro4072]

[@Davy-lf4cj]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@warren6172]

Dang!! That’s a beautiful, calm beach. We don’t have that in California. I didn’t know progressive insured boats. I have 4 insurance companies and need to try and consolidate.

[@trenice818]

Good job ladies

[@michaelhuynh4148]

How do you anchor on a beach that has strong currents that pushes the boat? Every time I try to beach it by the time I get the front anchor on it the back on the boat has already turned parallel with the beach.

[@davidk.7264]

Had no idea thanks

[@GingerNinja68]

How would you set an anchor is you had wind over tide. Which would you use to set? Love the content ladies

[@scott5647]

Another 'W'‼

[@hugoaguilar3740]

Keep up the good work girls. Will you guys be at the Ft. Lauderdale not show this year??

[@shadyfieldhomestead1974]

Would you turn off your battery switch? Or leave it on while beached?

[@Ggutierrez1936]

Solid video! This would be 10/10 if you guys included a few moments of how to tie off on the cleat. Either way, I’m sharing this with my fiancé lol

[@richardvila3]

They have done other videos on this subject

[@tonymidmore7652]

Nicely presented. Would you generally agree to anchor in the same method as the other boats around you, so you all drift the same? e.g. Don't set two anchors, to hold position, when others are swinging around a single anchor. In addition, do folks there use a float of some sort to mark the anchor when people are walking around on a submerged sand bar, to help avoid stepping on an anchor?

[@kevinlynch6799]

Most do not use floats but it is a good idea to do so. When near or on a sandbar it is everybody’s responsibility to be aware of anchors and anchor lines at all times. When approaching other boats on the water, it is the Captain’s responsibility to be aware of everyone else’s anchor lines. And yes, it does get messy when you get a “know-it-all” who just runs up to the sandbar without evaluating the wind, tide, drift and other boaters dock lines. But, they are usually the sandbar entertainment within a couple of hours. Be well.

Very informative. But please May I ask you to slow your speech just a little bit - I found myself having to back up a few times to catch what you said.

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

anchoring your boat at high tide is a lot like parking your truck at low tide

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

Happy Coast guard auxiliary bedrooms day from your husband Paul Taylor gale force twins Steven Paul my friend Ben Mike Hunt Stephen Paul I love say it really fast bye honey bunch your husband

[@hybrid.roodragon1226]

3:02 your gear is not engaging correctly. The mechanism is skipping on the teeth trying to engage throttle before the gears set. Get your motor checked.

[@hybrid.roodragon1226]

Lower unit drive sounded bad. Im new to the concept of boating but in mechanics i am good at paying attention to detail. Is your boat always doing that. And when is the last time you got the gearbox/transmission mechanism checked. 4:54. If any of you reading this are trained marine mechanics please reply and state whether thats a normal sound or not.

[@adamgrimsley6455]

Dunno but a lot of outboards do that when you change slow

[@tomdrummy4984]

I never beach my boat bow in…………I go stern in, so the wakes from passing boats hit the bow, not stern. 😎

[@chipgiles4809]

Nice job, ladies. How many times have we witnessed poor souls in a beached boat, hating life, on a low tide sandbar? Also, dragging and swinging boats on a busy sandbar is not cool at all.

[@necrokittie2291]

omg. whats wrong with the sound? i'm at 20% volume and her voice is still stabbing me in the ears via my headphones
