Born on the Water
Iron Marine began during family boating trips where founders Wes and Lance recognized the need for a safer, more reliable way to anchor a boat offshore. As a certified welder and inventor, Wes designed an anchor with durable metal construction and a detachable handle that securely holds a ski boat in place without interfering with boat docking.
After years of successful personal use, Lance saw the broader potential to help other boaters, and together the two brothers launched Iron Marine — a company rooted in a passion for the water and a commitment to thoughtfully designed, dependable marine products.
