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!

🎨 A happy little accident in the warehouse!

We recently tested some paint for our custom depth markers, and while it didn’t quite work out for its original purpose, our team had a bright idea: what if we used the dye for custom snubbers and bridles instead? 🤔

If this works, it means we’ll be able to offer a vibrant rainbow of color options to perfectly match your vessel’s custom color scheme! 🛥️✨

We are officially in the testing phase (pictured here unedited), but before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we want to hear from you:

👉 Would you get excited about matching your next custom snubber or bridle to your boat’s unique palette? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

⚓️ Heads up, boaters! ⚓

We know our friends at Mantus Marine are currently showing out of stock on their website for their popular chain hooks, but the good news is—we have them in stock and ready to ship/go right here at Dark Horse Marine!

We are proud to partner with Mantus Marine Products and always encourage supporting them directly, but if you’re in a pinch and need your anchoring setup dialed in before your next weekend on the water, we’ve got your back.
