For over a century the Muir name has been synonymous with ship building and marine engineering, and for over 55 years Muir has been designing and crafting anchor winches and anchoring systems that are the benchmark for performance, quality and innovation.

Our reputation is built on the back of the hard work of our founder, Robert John Muir, who grew up in the portside suburb of Battery Point, down the road from the “Shipwright’s Arms” Hotel. Hailing from a family of seafarers and shipwrights, John was destined from a career in the marine industry, and it was next to his father’s boat building business, that he developed the very first Muir anchor winches. The advice from his father, Jock Muir, continues to prove pivotal in building and maintaining the reputation Muir carries to this day:

“Make sure the winch you design and build is stronger than the deck it’s bolted down to.”

Our team remain committed to honouring this founding vision in our Tasmanian production facility and we now craft anchoring systems for a wide range of vessels.

From a 5-metre vessel to the world’s largest mega yachts, Muir products are requested around the globe and used by leading recreational, mega yacht and commercial maritime brands including Feadship, Luerssen, Incat, Austal, Damen, Moonen, Riviera, Maritimo, and Telwater.

In support of our equipment, our global network of experienced sales managers and service groups combined with a trusted international distribution network, ensures that we can deliver quality anchoring systems and spares to you, no matter what size your vessel is.

To this day, Muir remains an Australian, family owned business, and is the only remaining specialised Anchoring Systems manufacturer.
