Who they are
Made in Texas
Mantus is based in Houston, Texas, where it also has a storefront you can visit. Its stainless anchors are engineered in the USA and made in Texas.
Who it’s built for
Boaters who anchor and want a quick, reliable set, plus divers who want compact, portable scuba gear.
What they’re saying right now
Their homepage is built around four things: anchors and ground tackle, the Mantus dinghy (“Let’s ride”), scuba gear and compressors that are compact, light and portable, and marine lights and clamps.

Anchors
The M1, a roll-bar anchor built to dig in fast and reset when the wind or tide shifts, and the M2, built without a roll bar to set on the first try.
Ground tackle
Chain hooks, bridles, snubbers, swivels, shackles, bow rollers and anchor guards.
Mantus dinghy
Their own dinghy. Their tagline: “Let’s ride.”
Scuba kits
Compact, light and portable scuba kits, plus dive bags and accessories.
Compressors
Portable compressors for filling your own dive tanks.
Lights & clamps
Marine lights, solar lights, headlamps and mounting clamps.
Their site also sells replacement parts, apparel and gift cards.
On Sophisticated Lady
When you live at anchor, ground tackle is what lets everyone sleep. Our anchors are Mantus, paired with CROMOX stainless chain.
What we run
- Primary: Mantus M1 125 lb stainless, on 100 m of CROMOX stainless chain
- Secondary: Mantus M2 55 lb stainless, on 100 ft of CROMOX stainless chain
- Dinghy: a 10 lb stainless Mantus anchor, on 15 ft of 3/16 in stainless chain
- Mantus pointed us to CROMOX to complete the anchor system
From Mantus
Mantus stainless anchors use a 2205 Duplex shank and a 316L stainless fluke, shot-peened and electro-polished.
The M1 also bolts apart for compact storage as a spare. The M2 has no roll bar, so it’s less bulky and a better fit for slotted bow-pulpit housings and bowsprits.
