This new anchor, the USAS35/77-B 35kg/77lbs ULTRA Bow-Pocket Anchor, truly saved our investment.
Pierre Holstein (ULTRA Bow-Pocket Anchor)
Thanks to your ULTRA Anchor designed for bow pockets, which you recently started producing, we can finally sleep peacefully. Endless thanks to your company and team for this product.
Emre Akay (ULTRA Bow-Pocket Anchor)
I wanted to let you know that your ULTRA Swivel works perfectly. I have tested it many times, and I can now confidently tell my wife she can retrieve the anchor herself. Its simple design makes sure the anchor straightens every time it passes over the bow roller.
Rondy Dike (ULTRA Swivel)
The moment I unpacked the absolutely amazing stainless-steel work of art that is the Ultra UA16/35, I knew I had made the right choice in quality. Once I fitted the Ultra anchor to my boat and saw how perfectly it looked and fit, I also knew I had made the right choice in styling and craftsmanship.
Travis Sarinske
Thank you for producing such extraordinary equipment. The ULTRA Anchor is one of the most valuable pieces on our Jongert 20DS Margherita.
Mario Moriggi
Here is a five-star review. When Hurricane Nicole hit us directly at Wabasso Bridge in Florida, we were in 8 feet of water with a 27kg ULTRA Anchor and sustained 51-knot winds with even stronger gusts. We stayed planted to the bottom.
Scott & Ruby Stevens
It not only looks fantastic on the bow of our boat, it also holds extraordinarily well in the Florida Keys seabed. It is a super functional design, and we are very happy.
Mark & Bonnie Colombo
I previously purchased a 60kg ULTRA Anchor, UA60/132, and an ULTRA Swivel from you. I am extremely pleased with the anchor and have mentioned it many times on social media. SV DOUBLESTAR.
Jake Reinders
First of all, I am so glad I chose this anchor. You built such a great anchor that I have never once seen it drag or fail to hold. I recommended it in different sizes to all my sailor friends, and I wanted you to know that I have not heard a single complaint from any of them.
Okan Erdoğan
In conclusion, I believe the ULTRA Anchor is far more than just a jewel for motorboats. Yes, it is beautiful and somewhat expensive, but together with the ULTRA Swivel it is a superb piece of engineering now being adopted by prestigious builders such as Swan, Oyster, Hallberg-Rassy, and Fleming.
Thomas Nygaard
On the way to Portugal, I used my anchor many times and it set immediately and held perfectly every single time. Drop it and forget it. It never caused concern and never failed to hold. The ULTRA Anchor is truly an excellent and very beautiful anchor.
Andreas Kyanowski
We wanted you to know how happy we are with the ULTRA Anchor. We have been anchoring for six weeks in the same muddy bottoms where our ROCNA used to drag, and the ULTRA immediately penetrated and dug even deeper under load.
Rick & Barbara Heinen
Wherever we anchor, we now know we can sleep comfortably. In the crystal-clear waters around the Exumas, we even loved showing our guests how the anchor dives into the water.
François Legare
We had a chance to use the anchor during the holiday, and despite very harsh weather in the Greek islands its performance was excellent. Just as you said, it digs in deeper as the load increases, and in 30 knots of wind it not only held our boat but also a 45-foot boat whose chain had fouled ours.
Deniz Fıçı
Just as promised, it set on the first attempt and never let go. We did not budge in 10 knots of wind, it was remarkably easy to retrieve, and its stainless finish shed mud that would have made galvanized anchors look terrible.
Chris Lindbloom
We bought an ULTRA Anchor for our training vessel, Trawler Sandy Hook. The main reason for making this change was that the digger anchors we had been using were not doing their job properly, and changing bow anchors for different seabeds had become a major chore.
Chris & Alyse Caldwell
The ULTRA anchor did an amazing job and we hardly moved from our position at all. In that nightmare of a night, many thanks to everyone whose work went into manufacturing this anchor that gave us confidence.
Tolga Aydınol
We have always enjoyed using the ULTRA Anchor in normal conditions. Now we are fully confident that it will also keep us safe in extreme conditions. Words are not enough to praise the ULTRA Anchor.
Captains Mike & Diane Marotta
There is only one negative thing here: not having bought this anchor sooner.
Goncalo Lemos
It not only performs far better than our previous anchor, it also looks beautiful on our boat.
Jon Jones
The sea trial had already been very successful, but now you will be even prouder of your anchor. An unexpected storm hit our anchorage and the wind blew at a steady 53 knots for 15 minutes, with squalls up to 60 knots. The anchor held beautifully in mud, and we felt very safe.
Dan Libera
Since the 2013 season we have anchored several hundred times, and the ULTRA has never failed to set on the first attempt. Even if someone gave us every Rocna ever made, we still would not trade our ULTRA.
Marvin, Georgy & Nancy
I had always thought the ULTRA was a beautiful jewel for my boat, but that night it proved to me that it was far more than just a jewel.
Nick Creed
A Coast Guard boat next to us dragged its anchor in the mud. The ULTRA Anchor held my Hylas 56 as if it were tied to a permanent mooring. Thank you for this excellent product.
Alan Sarokhan
Since June 2014 we have used the ULTRA Anchor every day on our Catana 472, first in the Mediterranean and then in the Canary Islands. It always held, regardless of wind, tide, or swell, and thanks to ULTRA we felt completely at ease even when alone at anchor for five days.
Véroniquie et Patrice
Last August we were hit by a massive wind event at Mink Island in Desolation Sound. More than a dozen boats began dragging and the anchorage turned into chaos, but our ULTRA Anchor never moved.
Greg Allen
I have used your products on my boat for six years, especially the ULTRA Anchor. They are all excellent, and the ULTRA Anchor is the best anchor I have ever owned. It keeps my mind at ease in all conditions.
Vincenzo Fonti
I had the chance to test the anchor this spring in Morehead City, North Carolina, in sandy bottom with 35 knots of wind. We were in a very tight anchorage but did not move a millimeter all night.
Michael Dyer
It is beautiful and gives the market exactly what it wants. I love my shiny ULTRA anchor and receive many compliments. It always sets on the first attempt and has set very quickly in serious storm conditions in both mud and sand.
Will Woodman
We own a 2006 Meridian 408 and bought an ULTRA Anchor at the 2014 Annapolis powerboat show. After a year of use, I am happy to report that it is the best upgrade we have made to our boat so far. We anchored in less-than-ideal conditions, and this anchor holds like a magnet.
Glen Reuschling
I wanted you to know how nice it is to anchor knowing you are safe with your anchor, and how unlikely it is to have problems in light wind and current even at 3:1 scope.
Marshall Duffield
We love our shiny 27kg Ultra Anchor. Used together with a new chrome chain, it flows into the chain locker beautifully and has become a real jewel on board.
Captain Marnie
During my 5,000-nautical-mile voyage from Houston to Grenada on my 40-foot sailboat, I used my 27kg ULTRA Anchor in every anchoring condition and on every type of seabed, including 360-degree wind shifts and severe winds of 40 to 50 knots. The ULTRA never dragged.
Ed Carter
The boats around us went adrift. We never felt the need to do the same. Thank you. Every penny you charge is fully deserved. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the creation of this anchor.
Levent Tanıl
I want you to know that the ULTRA Anchor, ULTRA Swivel, and 35kg ULTRA Swing Bow Roller performed incredibly well during our winter voyage last year from Maine to the Bahamas and then back home to Virginia.
David Pope
We are in love with our ULTRA Anchor. We have used it for seven years everywhere from Australia to New Zealand, Tahiti, Sitka, and Mexico. It has never let us down, even in 50-knot winds.
Dan Seifers
Your anchor is the best. I bought a 35-pound model for my 38-foot sailboat and in the last three years it has never dragged. I later moved it to a 41-foot motor yacht and it still has not dragged. Knowing how well it works, I would gladly pay twice the price.
Timothy Pennenga
The Ultra anchor is the only anchor in the world that lets me sleep comfortably at anchor. This is the third anchor I have bought from you, and I do not even leave the marina without an Ultra anchor. Congratulations once again for this superior piece of engineering.
Sertuğ Alptekin
Bravo to your mind and craftsmanship: you produce the best anchor in the world.
Nusret Ferda Bertan
Six months ago we replaced our very beautiful but terribly performing 140 lb stainless anchor with an ULTRA Anchor. The result has been astonishing. During the Castaways Cup races in St. Lucie Harbor, the anchor held through winds of up to 40 knots over two days.
Peter Dalton
The anchor always set on the first try and never required a second attempt. That was true on every seabed and in all weather conditions up to force 6. The only exception was in extremely dense weed, where the anchor came up carrying too much vegetation.
Drdla Reinhard
A short note about our 16kg ULTRA Anchor: in a crowded bay inside Port Neville we had to use a very short scope, yet the anchor still performed with confidence.
Dave and Margeret
On our first day at anchor, despite the boat moving heavily and the tide changing, the ULTRA did not move an inch. I also used the ULTRA Snubber Hook, and it took all the load off the windlass beautifully. At that moment I realized I had purchased a truly top-level product.
Greg and Terry
Your combination of ULTRA Anchor, ULTRA Swivel, and ULTRA Hook is almost in danger of making us overconfident in our anchoring ability. For the past six weeks we have anchored every night in the Gulf of California, and the anchor no longer needs to prove anything to us.
John & Nancy Celick
Yesterday we had a chance to test the Ultra anchor and chain set I purchased. We went to a place where we had never been able to anchor properly despite many attempts, and the Ultra set on the first try.
İlhan Doğan
You have designed a wonderful anchor. In places where I used to struggle to set my Bruce anchor of the same weight, I was able to get this one to hold easily and with even less scope.
Ersan Şahin
Last season we were lucky enough to receive an opportunity to own an ULTRA Anchor on a trial basis, and as people who spent the whole season at anchor rather than in marinas, we can say that the ULTRA Anchor performed flawlessly for us all year.
David Bock
Last week, the owners of a New Zealand-flagged boat we met in Sarpdere Cove south of Alacati asked whether our anchor was an Ultra. I said yes and immediately shared my experience. They had already heard about it before speaking with me.
Haluk Tatari
With our previous anchor we could not get it to hold in sand even at 10:1 scope, whereas the Ultra set very quickly every time at 3:1 and never let go. It also deploys itself into the water when the chain is let out.
Dick Carey
The anchorage was open to the north and the waves suddenly grew. The bow started plunging in and out of the water, the stern was turned toward shore, and the rocks were only about fifty meters behind us. It was impossible even to go forward and check the anchor.
Osman Atasoy
I have been using your 21kg Ultra anchor for three years. During an anchoring maneuver in Soguk Su Cove north of Kusadasi, a sudden throttle failure left the boat at full speed ahead just after I lowered the anchor, sending the boat straight toward the rocks.
Cüneyt Aytaç
You designed a very beautiful anchor. Thanks to you, the comfort of our voyage has increased and we can sleep safely in all weather. I also love that Ultra and Made in Turkey are permanently marked on it.
Yavuz Orer
I am pleased to say that the 80kg Ultra not only looks superb, but it also held our 100-ton boat very safely for two days in winds of 40 knots, and at times up to 50 knots. Even after dragging about 20 meters at the peak of the storm, it quickly dug back in again.
Peter Burnet
In all five countries we visited, we were able to set the anchor very easily and remain safe wherever we anchored. Besides the quality of the product, we also want to thank the Yucel family for their helpful and sincere, seamanlike approach.
O. Saygın Merdinler
Yes, you read that right. After all the kindness and conversation, this huge company tricked me and sold me a portable mooring instead of an anchor. Unfortunately, wherever you drop the ULTRA, even if the bottom were concrete, you stay right there. It grabs instantly and refuses to move. This is a highly sarcastic compliment.
Şafak Yalçın
When using your anchor, there is no need for skillful maneuvers, perfect timing, speed, or anything like that. Every anchoring was successful on the first attempt. Anchoring is no longer a problem for us, and after every first-time set we congratulate each other.
Atilla Horoz
We used our anchor many, many times throughout our trip and we absolutely loved it. Our new slogan is Drop, Set, Forget. Time and again we watched other boats drag, move elsewhere, and drop again and again.
Alexus Sheppard
You cannot imagine how excited I am about the Ultra Anchor. It has earned my respect again and again. It is the perfect choice for catamarans or any boat that tends to sail around on its anchor, and for anyone who wants to protect their investment and sleep comfortably aboard.
Steve Dinger
In 30 knots of wind, our Ultra anchor earned another well-deserved round of applause from us by holding two large boats without a millimeter of movement.
Nilgün Gündüz
The anchor I currently use on the boat is the Ultra brand anchor made in Turkey. I chose it because it was designed by a naval engineer and because it is a more advanced and perfected version of an already very good anchor design.
Hakan Öge
We used to use rope, but taking it ashore and bringing it back was always a hassle. This time it was much easier. The strap-shaped line winds easily onto the drum with a winch handle, unwinds just as easily, and takes up very little room despite being 60 meters long.
Osman Atasoy (ULTRALINE)
Taking a line ashore over a long distance and retrieving it becomes very easy and takes only seconds, and 60 meters of line takes up almost no space. When used together with chain, it does not form a bulky knot like rope and therefore does not cause tangles. It is one of the products whose usefulness far outweighs its price.
