This traditional boat hook combines the warmth of a wooden pole with the strength of a stainless steel hook, making it an indispensable tool for any boater. The shaft is crafted from high-quality hardwood, 30mm in diameter, which provides an excellent balance of rigidity and buoyancy – if accidentally dropped in the water, the wood will float to help with retrieval. The wood is varnished to protect against the marine environment (moisture and UV), extending the pole’s lifespan. At the tip, a solid stainless steel hook is firmly attached, offering high strength and corrosion resistance for daily use in saltwater. With this boat hook, you can easily grab lines, cleats, and rings or push off from the dock, keeping your vessel’s hull and your hands safe from harm during docking maneuvers.
Available in three convenient lengths (1.8m, 2.1m, and 2.5m), this boat hook suits a range of vessels and situations. The 1.8m length is ideal for smaller boats (around 3–5m long) or when storage space is limited, providing excellent maneuverability in tight quarters. The mid-sized 2.1m hook offers a versatile reach for boats approximately 5–7m, striking a balance between extended reach and ease of stowage. For larger boats (7m and up) or docking at high piers, the longest 2.5m option gives you the extra distance needed to snag lines or fend off safely. All versions are surprisingly lightweight for their size, allowing one person to handle them comfortably. (Each boat hook also includes a rubber end cap to protect your deck during storage – if such a feature is provided.) Overall, this wooden boat hook is a reliable and user-friendly accessory – whether you’re mooring your vessel, retrieving an item from the water, or setting fenders in place, it will make the task easier and safer.
- Primary Use: Assists in docking – used to pull the boat towards the dock or push off gently without risking damage to the boat or dock.
- Also Useful For: Picking up mooring lines from the water, positioning and adjusting fenders, and retrieving items that have fallen overboard.
- Choosing a Length: 1.8m is great for small boats and tight storage; 2.1m serves as an all-around option for mid-sized boats; 2.5m is best for larger vessels or when extra reach is needed.
- Maintenance: Rinse the stainless hook with fresh water after use and dry the wood. Store the boat hook in a dry place out of direct sunlight to preserve the varnish and prevent the wood from cracking.
