Our story

Built by a boater who was tired of leaning overboard.

RS Marine, LLC is an owner-run marine-accessories company in Louisville, Kentucky. We make tools that take the stress out of docking — starting with The Boat Loop®.

How it started

RS Marine was founded in 2009 by Robert “Bob” Stanley, a boater and engineer with three decades of experience on the water and at the bench. Like every boater, Bob knew the worst 30 seconds of any trip: coming in to the dock with wind on the bow, a cleat just out of reach, and no good option except to lean out over the water and hope.

He couldn’t find a tool that solved it, so he built one. The Boat Loop® is a telescoping pole with a fixed loop and hooks: extend it, drop the loop over a cleat or piling, and pull your boat exactly where you want it — both feet planted, no leaning overboard.

Built marine-grade, assembled in the USA

Docking gear only earns its place on a boat if it holds up to sun, salt, and season after season of use. Every Boat Loop® is assembled in the USA and covered by a 1-year repair-or-replace warranty, alongside a 30-day money-back guarantee that has stood since the beginning.

The Boat Loop® was followed by the Quik Fender — fast, dependable boat protection — and Fender Lines, rounding out a small, focused line of docking accessories. We would rather make a few tools well than a catalog of tools poorly.

Where you can find us

We sell direct from this site and through major marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, and we ship across the US and internationally. However you order, the gear comes from the same small company in Louisville, Kentucky.
