About Us

Rope for Boats is a custom rigging shop that opened for business in 2004.  Our main objective is making rope related items for the boating community; dock lines, fender lines, tow lines and so on. Our philosophy has always been to supply our customers with what they want and need. If you require a 27 ft dock line, then that is what we will make. Not a 25 ft line or a 30 ft line because that is what we have on the shelf.

We will make you what you want. All of our lines are made with American manufactured rope and spliced in America, unlike store bought that are made overseas that do not always conform to specifications by the International Cordage Institute. We take pride in our workmanship. Tradition has dock lines that are properly spliced with the throats whipped and stitched, and the bitter ends not only whipped and stitched but color coded so if you have 2 or 3 different lengths of lines on board, you will know them by their color. We know you are proud of your boat. We want your lines to enforce that pride.

All of the rope sold by Rope For Boats are made in the USA. Many times we see in the Mega Yacht Industry that insurance companies require a certificate of conformance that states the strength of the rope that it is being used for: dock lines, mooring lines, anchor snubbers, lifting harnesses, towing harnesses and such like. When we receive a shipment from one of our manufactures, included with the order is a certificate of conformance stating date of manufacture and the tensile strength of the rope. If questions arise, please feel free to contact us for a certificate of conformance to be included with your order.
