A boat hook is a long, thin pole with a hook at one end, used to handle lines and facilitate small boat docking maneuvers. NauticExpo offers several kinds of boat hook: telescopic, line handling, with paddle, etc.
Boat hooks are used to recover out-of-reach objects, such as nets, buoys, lines, etc. They can also be used to fend off during small boat docking maneuvers.
A boat hook is usually made from light, non-corrosive materials, such as aluminum. It has a hook, generally of plastic, at one end, and an anti-slip handle or grip at the other.
Boat hook size will partly depend on vessel size.
