A fluke style anchor, often characterized by its flat, pointed flukes, is designed for efficient holding power in various seabed conditions, particularly in sand and mud. Its shape allows the anchor to dig into the seabed when a load is applied, providing a secure hold while also being relatively easy to retrieve. Fluke anchors are commonly used on smaller boats and recreational vessels due to their lightweight construction and effectiveness in calm to moderately rough waters.

The fluke style uses a stock at the crown to which two large flat surfaces are attached. The stock is hinged so the flukes can orient toward the bottom (and on some designs may be adjusted for an optimal angle depending on the bottom type.) The design is a burying variety, and once well set can develop an amazing amount of resistance. Its light weight and compact flat design make it easy to retrieve and relatively easy to store; some anchor rollers and hawse pipes can accommodate a fluke-style anchor.
A fluke-style anchor holds a pleasure craft in place by using its pointed flukes to penetrate the seabed, creating a secure grip. As the boat pulls against the anchor, the flukes dig deeper into the substrate, increasing resistance. The design allows it to effectively set in various types of bottoms, such as sand or mud, and its lightweight construction makes it easy to deploy and retrieve. This combination of features ensures stability and prevents the anchor from dragging under normal conditions.
