When weather conditions are unpredictable, contemporary anchor alarms can be unreliable. AnchorGuardian is your eyes and ears on the seabed, directly monitoring the anchor itself. Using sensor fusion and advanced algorithms, it provides a stable dataset of the anchor’s position, both relative and absolute, and real-time identification of any potential anchor drag.
Talking Anchor Dragging with Superyacht Captain Damien Carr
Force Monitoring
“I learned, that at 300kg, we were okay. But once we got to 1050kg, in a manufactured dragging situation, that’s when the anchor began to drag.”
Anchor Arm Angle Monitoring
“On the plotter itself, we could see that the anchor was holding. But when we looked into AnchorGuardian, and the statistics we were receiving, it was very clear that the anchor was on the edge.”
Chain Seabed Coverage
“5m, 10m, 15m – these numbers change everything. I can instantly adjust to ensure a secure hold.”
Anchor Dragging Alarm
“Instead of just reacting when an anchoring situation is potentially out of control, with AnchorGuardian, you can anticipate problems before they occur.”

The complete go-to-market AnchorGuardian solution is based on four principal modules:
Watch an AnchorGuardian Installation
Installation is performed by partner shipyards during the yacht’s drydock period, with costs handled separately. To ensure the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and expertise, we are actively building a network of trusted partners who will oversee and support the installation process. This ensures that every AnchorGuardian system is installed correctly minimizing costs and maximizing reliability for our clients.
Anchor Module:
The heart of our innovation is driven by our proprietary algorithm and sensor fusion technology.
Boat Module:
A sophisticated transducer integrated into the ship’s hull exchanges underwater datasets to the user interface and transports user requests back to the anchor module.
Charging Module:
Wireless and automatic charging when anchor is stowed.
User Interface Module:
The boat module communicates with a stand-alone display (option) or with the existing GPS plotter or with the existing ECDIS through a NMEA2000 interface.
AnchorGuardian is bringing safety to anchoring for sailor, ship and sea.
As a complete anchor monitoring solution, the price of AnchorGuardian is dependent on the size of the Anchor Module required.

LIoyds Register is one of the most respected martime classification societies globally. Its rigorous certification process involves meticulous scrutiny and testing, ensuring that every aspect of a product adheres to strict safety and performance standards.
While we have proudly held LIoyds class certification for over two years, beginning with our testing pilot, we have now achieved individual certification for each AnchorGuardian anchor module. This means that every unit being installed has been individually tested and approved each bearing its own LIoyds stamp of approval.
