Dark Horse Marine, LLC

The last thing you want to ever have to worry about when you’re out on the water is whether or not your equipment is up to par. Well here at Dark Horse Marine, we’re going to do everything possible to make sure those thoughts never cross your mind! We have more than 40 years of experience serving the entire marine and boating community – from individual owner/operators, to

boat builders and engineers, to boat dealers and repair shops (and everyone in between) – providing top quality parts and tools to keep your boat out on the water. Working only with the highest quality products and the most reputable companies, our marine experts understand exactly what it takes to keep your boat running better than brand new all year round. We’ve cut out the middleman completely, and as a “brick and mortar” stocking company our marine experts will not only be able to help you find exactly what you need – we’ll always be able to get it out to you pronto (and without any of the sky high markup you may have been paying in the past). We hope you’ll turn to us for all your marine equipment and maintenance needs, and look forward to talking with you soon!

HEADS UP! ⬆️ The warehouse is closed for Memorial Day tomorrow! You can still call or text with your messages and we will return them all in a timely manner starting Tuesday 🤗.

🚨 PRO TIP! 🚨 Three day weekends always bring us one thing (many of them actually) and that is many of you needing a re-splice. IT NEVER FAILS! Someone cut your line by mistake driving their vessel directly over or near it. 👉 Stay vigilant and look out for each other’s anchor lines while posting up in shallow waters!!

Not an anchor rode. Not a snubber. Just a total one-of-a-kind build! ⚓️🛠️

Check out this custom HMPE line we just finished up. The customer needed a specific combo of a hook, thimble, and chafe guard—and we were happy to deliver.

Because we cut to order, our warehouse is full of high-quality HMPE remnants waiting for a mission. If you need a custom length or a technical splice that most shops won’t touch, we’re your people!

We hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday! 💐💗🥂

⚓️ We Have a Winner! ⚓️
Massive shout-out to Mr. Robert Miller for crushing our April Giveaway! 🏆 We asked you to guess the weight of 700ft of 1/2” Windlass Chain, and Robert guessed 2,100 lbs—missing the actual weight of 2,112 by a mere 12 pounds. (Teach us your ways, Robert.)

🎁 The Big Reveal 🎁
We kept the prize a mystery to keep things spicy, but the secret is out: Robert is walking away with a Free Mantus Dry Bag to keep his gear bone-dry on the water! 🌊

Thank you to everyone who participated! Stay tuned—you never know when the next mystery prize might drop. 🙌
