After a night spent on watch with 50 kts. of true wind in Sicily I simply wish to send you and your family my utmost appreciation for the fantastic 80 Kg. UM anchor I bought from you 3 years ago coupled to its swivel.
Nicole hurricane hit us directly at Wabasso Bridge Florida. Eye went right over. 51kt sustained and higher gusts. 27kg ultra anchor with 110ft all chain and 2 snubbers in 8 ft of water. We held like glue!
We were at Fort Pierce FL when we took delivery of our new ULTRA Anchor. Changed it out and we have never dragged since. You saying is correct. Set it and forget it!!
I previously ordered an Ultra Anchor, UA60-132, and swivel from you (invoice #D5..). I am extremely happy with the product, and we have mentioned that numerous times on our social media.
Mr. Erkutay, I am so glad that I bought the ULTRA Anchor. That is an excellent anchor; I have never dragged or had trouble getting it to hold. I recommended that some friends purchase occasionally, and they all are as happy as me…. ………I wish you success.
Bottom line, I think the Ultra anchor is far from “motor boat jewellery”! Yes, it’s pretty and expensive, but together with the swivel it represents a great piece of engineering,...
I used it quite often on my way down to Portugal, and each time it immediately grabs into the ground with perfect holding. Drop and forget. Never any worries, never bad holding. The Ultra Anchor is really a perfect (and beautiful) anchor!
After looking and check any detail I felt that had to purchase it!! The confirmation of it, was when the comercial on the stand asked me to try the different scale anchors on a sand box. That was a really nice because could see the real performance on the sand, in model scale.
After multiple dragging episodes with our plow anchor in swift current but calm conditions, we returned to the same location a couple of weeks with our new ULTRA Anchor. Were anchored for several days in the same location including weathering a front with 20-30 mph winds. The anchor stuck immediately upon hitting the bottom and never moved for our entire stay.
The sea trial was a success. But you will now feel very proud of your anchor. An unexpected gale moved over our anchored location and winds were steady for 15 minutes at 53 kts, gusts to 60 kts. The anchor (in mud) held beautifully. What a test. We felt very secure.
Since that initial season of 2013 we have anchored several hundred times and the Ultra has never failed to set immediately on the first try. We have slept much more soundly since then and have the peace of mind that we have the best anchor ever designed.
I keep on relaying my experience with Gunfleet 58/04 (anchored with an ULTRA Anchor) where in 45-50 knots of wind another 40ft boat dragged its anchor which rode up our chain and became jammed in our stem-head.
I just wanted to let you know your “Ultra Flip Swivel” really works great. I have tried it many times now and feel its safe to let my wife stow the anchor.
We just finished serving as a stake boat in ny harbor during the recent America's cup Lois Vuitton series.This required repeatedly anchoring in approximately 50 feet of water in a current up to 4 knots with variable winds from 0 to 32 knots over three days. The coast guard cutter anchored near us was dragging in the mud bottom. The Ultra anchor on all chain held my Hylas 56 like it was on a mooring.
I saw an ad while looking through a magazine in a small inlet in Gokova. The reel in the picture looked quite sensible. I decided to call the number shown. The product called "Quickline" was made of 316 L quality stainless steel. I instantly ordered one.
I mounted 3 Quickline, two in the push pit and one in the pull pit of my yacht called "Uzaklar II". I spent the winter of 2002 in the Gokova and Hisaronu bays. Sea bound people know, there is just not enough room in these bays and inlets to moor comfortably, so we anchor from the pull pit and tie the push pit to a sturdy station on land for support.
My test was in Morehead City, NC this fall in 35 kt winds with a sandy bottom and set the anchor alarm. We were in a narrow anchorage but did not move at all that night. I look forward to continuing test this winter on our trip back to Florida. By the way, the Ultra looks great too.
I've been using your products for more than 6 years with my yacht, particularly your Ultra anchor, and i can say that they are very very good,and that Ultra anchor is the best anchor i've ever had! Ultra anchor assured me always a complete peace of mind in all situations!
Last August at Mink Island in Desolation Sound we had a HUGE wind blow through. Naturally, it was 2:00 in the morning. The harbor was packed with 20+ boats. It quickly became a rodeo with 12-15 boats losing their anchor hold. Everyone was awake, lots of hollering, crews trying to keep boats from colliding. That Ultra Anchor you installed never budged!
Since June 2014, we use every day our ultra anchor on our Catana 472, at first in Mediterranean, and after in Canara Islands where the Anchor has hold us at anchoring with wind, tide and swell... we were alone at anchoring during 5 days and we had totaly confidence in the ultra anchor.
I wanted to let you know how much nicer it is to anchor with your anchor knowing you’re secure and there’s little chance of having an issue especially with 3 to 1 out and little wind or current. My boat is fifty years old this summer.
Nice and give the market what it wants, but I adore my Shinny Ultra Anchor, and receive many compliments about it. The mud of the Saint Johns river slides right off when recovering it unlike my old galvanized plow, and the Ultra Anchor sets the first time every time, and has held fast in some serious thunderstorms in both mud and sand.
We have a 2006 meridian 408 and had purchased your Ultra Anchor from you during the 2014 Annapolis boat show. I am pleased to report after one years use that this was one of the best additions to our boat so far. We have anchored out under not-so-good conditions and this anchor was like a magnet.
In 5,000 nM of cruising aboard our 40 foot sailboat from Houston to Grenada over the last 1 1/2 years, I’ve used my 60lb Ultra in all kinds of anchoring situations and bottom surfaces as well as 360 degree swings. I’ve been through many 40-50kts squalls at anchor. My Ultra has never ever dragged. I sleep very well knowing the Ultra has proven itself.
About 2 years ago I decided to purchase your Ultra anchor (21KG model) in hopes it would improve the holding. I figured if nothing less the new anchor would weigh 15lbs more and maybe, just maybe that would help. Well guess what? Your anchor holds every single time. It’s amazing - no matter how strong the wind or how weedy the lake bottom the anchor hooks up and won’t let go.
We love our shiny Ultra-60 lbs! In fact we just matched it with a SS chain and new gypsy. Instead of the castles created by the old galvanized chain, the new "jewelry" just melts into the chain locker, as my husband observed, "like when Scrooge McDuck was pouring coins into his vault".
Just want to let you know that the ULTRA Anchor (UA35-70) with the ULTRA Flip swivel (UFS10) and the Articulated ULTRA Bow Roller has performed exceptionally well during our cruise down from Maine to the Bahamas and back to our home port in Virginia this last winter season.
Your anchor is the best!! I bought a 35 lb,for my 38 ft sail boat and NEVER dragged in three yrs of cruising. Now I put it on a 41 ft power boat and still have not dragged ! Knowing now how well it works I would pay twice the price. Ps it stays clean and looks great.
We love our Ultra anchor. We have had it for 7 years and have anchored everywhere from Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Sitka Alaska and Mexico. It has NEVER failed, even in 50 knot winds.
Randy, I have been meaning to write you. About 6 months ago we replaced our great looking but terribly inefficient stainless anchor weighing 140 lbs with your Quickline Ultra Anchor. The results are absolutely astounding. We were committe boat (74 ft Hatteras) for the Castaways Cup race - two days in the ocean off Port St. Lucie, and the anchor held even in the 40 knot gust that came up.
God bless your hands, efforts and mind: You are making the world’s best anchor. Each time I anchor; I remember Atila Rezak, who helped during the design process of this anchor by trying it at his boat and all other friends contributing, with respect.
I can tell you by all my heart that ULTRAnchor is the only anchor which lets me sleep comfortably. This is the 3. anchor I bought from you and I placed the order even before I took delivery of my new boat like at the previous ones. I don’t go out of a marina without ULTRAnchor. I congratulate you once again for this very advanced engineering product.
A quick update on our 16kg Ultra anchor. We are with 9 other boats are headed to The Broughton Archipelago. Two nights ago we anchored with the others in a small bay inside Port Neville. A small bay with lots of boats meant a short scope 93 ft of chain in low 38 feet for us the last boat in.
The anchor has held always already at the first time, it was never necessary to try several times. and this on all grounds and with all winds up to 6 bft. with one exception: i had problems on very dense seagrass fields. the anchor came up with a huge amount of gras.
No matter where we anchor, we know we can sleep tight. In the Exumas, where the water is so clear, we love to show off by letting our guests actually see the anchor sink into the sand right in front of their eyes.
I bought a 130 pound Ultra anchor with swivel and harness snubber set up. I have been using the system for four years and can tell you that the anchor sets like a rock. Very solid and resets with changing tides and currents very quickly. I have scuba dived to check many times and without fail it is buried to the shank! A bit expensive but worth every nickel and looks great!
On our first day at anchor, even with heavy boat wake activity and tide changes, the Ultra never moved an inch. I also used your chain grabber system which worked perfectly and took all of the strain off of the windlass. At this point, I was pleased and knew I had purchased a superior product.
I had a chance to use the anchor in Greek islands under very strong winds but the ULTRA performed really well. As told, it buried itself deeper by the increased load and kept on holding us perfectly. It also carried another 45 feet boat under 30 knot winds.
We had the opportunity to test the new anchor yesterday. Fabulous! As promised, it set instantly and on held the first try. I watched the GPS like a hawk to see if we were moving. We weren't, and were sitting in about 10 knots of wind. It was also remarkably easy to "break" and because of its polished surface, it easily shed the nasty Chesapeake Bay mud that would cling like glue to the galvanized predecessor.
We achieved to stay stable by the ULTRAnchor we bought as per a friend recommendation at Gocek Hamam bay under very strong winds lasted for about 90 minutes, we didn’t even move for 1cm. This was our first very strong wind experiment and we succeeded, the boats around us went to open sea, we didn’t require. Thank you. You deserve each penny we paid you. We thank to everyone who played a role on the designing process of this anchor.
We want to inform you how happy we are with the Ultra anchor. We have been anchored out now for 6 weeks along the Turkish coast in some of the same mud bottom that we dragged in with our old Rocna. In Knidos for example is hard clay/ mud, and we popped out the Rocna as it was fouled with hard mud and wouldn't reset.

Tent gathering the rain on was tight on stern. The crazy wind started to shake the tent out extremely that I thought its connections would break away. We both ran to gather the tent. It got swollen with the crazy wind and it was nearly going to wing us. We barely wrapped it and put into the locker. We were totally wet in such a short time like we felt into water.
We have now tried it out in mud, sand and coarse sand and it has worked extremely well every time. With our last anchor we could not get it to set in sand - our biggest test - even with scopes of 10:1. The Ultra has set firmly and quickly every time with scopes of 3:1. The anchor also self launches every time whereas we often had to give our last one a kick to get it moving.
We already met at boat shows. My boat is Bavaria 33 Cruiser; our anchor is 16kg Ultra. I already thanked you personally but I wanted to write you to thank again for making such a great product for us. I am already writing about it at forums. We had some incredible adventures with Ultra.
On a stormy day, all boats from close islands, open bays and harbors crowded into Vilihona bay. Culiana did not anchor; he boarded his boat on me. We wanted to try my anchor. Culiano’s boat is two times bigger then mine. We used 20mt chain at a 6.5m depth. The weather blew nonstop between 28-38 for 24 hours. We saw 52 at showers. After that storm Culiana ran to the internet cafe to buy an Ultra anchor made in Tukey…
I am delighted to confirm that the 80Kg* Ultra not only looks superb but has held my 100 ton yacht securely during 2 days of 40 knot winds with gusts up to 50 knots. At the height of the storm, the anchor slipped some 20m but quickly dug itself in again
I have been using your 21kg Ultra Anchor for three years. It always made me felt totally in safe till today. Furthermore, last Saturday in the Cold Water Cove located at the south part of Kusadasi gulf while I was on anchoring maneuver; my boat flew off the rocks with full speed because of a sudden failure at the engine remote control system when the anchor had just touched to the sea bed.
When we recover the anchor, we see how it buried itself. When your anchor is being used, there is no need for great timing, maneveour or speed. Our each anchoring attempt resulted with a great success like the first one. Anchoring is not a problem for us no more, we congrulate each others for our success at the each anchoring attempt.
We have used our anchor many, many times throughout our trip and absolutely LOVE it!!! Our new motto is simply "Drop it, Set it, FORGET it! We can't even count how many times we watched other boats drop their anchor, DRAG their anchor, move to another spot, and repeat, repeat, repeat... We never even ONCE had to move because our anchor wouldn't set.
We had successful anchoring at each of 5 countries that we had been and stayed safe. We had seen that the products have the all functions told us at the show. As much as the quality of the products, we also thank to the YUCEL family for their warm interest away from commercial anxiety which is proper to sailors.
Let me first introduce myself, I’m Steven Dinger. My wife and I currently own a Catana 472 Catamaran. As with many catamaran owners we have owned our share of mono-hulls. I started with a 25’ sloop progressed to a 32’ Garden design and did 14 years of serious cruising with our Norseman 447 and 10 of the 14 years with the 535 cutter rigged.
We hardly found our way to the crowded anchoring area. In the evening we met with Staublar again and after diner we went back to our boat before it was too late. Fortunately, we came back early because, a dragging boat at that storm hooked its chain to our anchor. After working so hard we could let him go.
The combination of the Ultra-Anchor, your nifty swivel and your chain hook are in danger of making us become over-confident in our anchoring skills. We've been on the hook every night for the last six weeks in the Gulf of California. We've seen your demonstration that the anchor will reset itself but it has not had to prove that to us.
The anchor that I use now is the Ultra made in Turkey. The reason that I chose that it was designed by a naval architect and it is the developed and perfected shape of S…. anchor which is also a very good anchor. S…. owners have commends about it at a lot of foreign boat magazines. Anyhow I think it is the most expensive anchor in market for today.
This is our 2nd year using the Turkish made Ultra Anchor/Swivel/Grab hook. I was 1st made aware of it where someone recommended the Turkish made Ultra Swivel which is a unique design that rights the anchor as it comes over the roller.
You did design a fabulous anchor. I can now anchor even by shorter scope at all places where I could not with my old B…. anchor. Congratulations and keep up with good work.
I had a chance to try our new ULTRAnchor and the swivel, yesterday. We went to a specific place where we could not get the previous anchor held even by trying for several times and the ULTRA held at the first attempt. After that the known storm caught us while we were out of Buyukada island, yesterday.
