About Us

At DocKnot, we believe docking should be the easiest part of boating—not the most stressful. That’s why we created a simple, smart solution to an age-old problem: tossing a line from boat to dock quickly, accurately, and safely.

The idea came straight from real-world experience. Captain Gary, a lifelong boater with decades on the water, spent years helping others tie up, navigate tight docks, and problem-solve in tricky situations. But time and again, he saw the same issue: people struggling to throw a dock line accurately—especially when docking solo, in wind, or during emergency tie-ups. So, he decided to solve it.

After countless tests and real-life trials, DocKnot was born—a throw line with a weighted end that delivers fast, accurate tosses and a pre-tied eyelet loop that lets you cleat off in seconds, with no knots or fumbling. Simple, effective, and built for boaters by a boater.


What We Stand For
Practical Solutions: Every product we make is designed with real boating situations in mind. No gimmicks—just gear that works.

Safety First:
Whether you’re docking alone, tossing a line to a friend, or reaching someone in distress, we believe your gear should support your safety and peace of mind.

Built to Last:
Our products use marine-grade materials that resist UV, saltwater, and abrasion—because we know what boating gear goes through.

We’re not a faceless brand. We’re real boaters who’ve been there, who test every product ourselves, and who care about getting it right.
