Customer Reviews for VEVOR Sand Spike Boat Anchor, 90 cm Slide Anchor Shore Spike, Galvanized Carbon Steel Boat Shore Anchors, Shallow Water Beach Anchors, for Securing Jet Ski PWC Pontoon Kayak on Beaches & Sandbars

This Vevor Sand Spike Boat Anchor Pole is very heavy duty built. Made out of heavy carbon steel material. It is hot dipped galvanize. It should not rust. Has a built on slide hammer on the top. It should work well for tying off most boats large or small. How well it holds all depends on the ground it is driven into.

I took my kayak out on a shallow lake so that I could spend some time just hanging out near the shoreline where it was very shallow (pass than 2ft). This was SO EASY to put in and crank it down to stay in place. I floated out there for an hour and never had the anchor drift. I love the fact that it comes in a storage bag that cinches shut, and that I can easily fit any type of tether in there along with it. My only issue and warning to those purchasing it is that it is definitely not lightweight. This thing is heavy! But it works great!

I am planning on using this with my kayak but thought it would be a bit smaller. The size isn't an issue, I just think I assumed it would be smaller. Overall, it has a nice weight (heft) to it and the steel frame is solid and well supported. Looking forward to using it this summer.

Wow, this anchor is both larger and more heavy duty than I was expecting! I have never used a spike anchor before as I'm not in sandbar country, but I believe there is a place for this on my boat as well as I deal with shallow bays. I look forward to trying this one out once boating season starts and will update my review if anything changes my opinion of the product one way or another.

I recently had the opportunity to use the anchor pole on a weekend trip, and I was quite impressed with its performance. The galvanized steel construction is robust, giving me confidence that it can withstand the elements and the rigors of regular use. The self-hammering feature is a game-changer, making it easy to secure the anchor into the sand without needing additional tools. It’s particularly useful for small boats, jet skis, pontoons, and kayaks. The storage bag and bungee cord are thoughtful additions that make transportation and storage a breeze. However, I’m giving it 4 stars because, while the anchor is solid and easy to use, the heavy-duty nature might be overkill for lighter crafts. Additionally, the storage bag could be improved with reinforcement at the tip to prevent wear through from the anchor’s point after repeated use.

I am not a boat or outdoorsy person, but my husband is, and I just got him an inflatable kayak, so I got this anchor for it. I am impressed with the weight - it's really heavy, heavy-duty metal and pretty easy to put into the ground or sands & stays put pretty well. I am a little confused about the whole bungee cord situation - it keeps the anchor at the shortest height but if you remove it, it extends taller but doesn't come apart. It'd be nice if instructions explained all of this. I also wish it came with some rope to attach it to a watercraft. Regardless, it works well for what it is and seems pretty well made - I recommend.

This is a heavy duty stake anchor and seems like it will do a great job. The finish isn't great, but it is a sturdy product and is a good design. We had a homemade version and it got stolen at a beach a few years ago, but this one feels just as sturdy and I expect it to work well. The storage bag and included bungee to hold it together are nice touches.

PROS: Very heavy duty with thick galvanization throughout, strong buigie cord holds slide tightly closed when not in use, 14 inch slide hammer travel gets the job done (watch your fingers), includes a carry case. CONS: It's very heavy, slide is a bit sloppy when fully extended (shaft is considerably smaller than slide hole diameter, nicely shaped pointy end for fast and deep penetration in most sands/soils, however, it will poke through the carry bag quickly if you don't make some kind of protective cover for the pointed end (no point protector is provided). Overall good value works well, and should last a while, would make a nice gift for any boater.

It does not hold bigger boat (3 t) in sand, but works in gravel and packed soil. Surface area of the pike in the ground should be wider and the soft cover on the handle is useless as it is loose and came off immediately on first strokes while hammering into the ground. Better to remove it or glue properly. Find someting as cover for the pointy end while storing (e.g plastic tube or cap) to avoid damaging the boat.
