A Family Legacy Since 1969

Founded by Chuck MacKarvich in 1969, Tie Down began as a family operation focused on solving real-world problems through engineering. From humble beginnings in a garage to over 7,000 products and 95+ patents later, we continue to design and manufacture with the same values: integrity, ingenuity, and lasting quality.

Made in the USA. Designed for Life on the Water.

From our sleek, spring-assisted dock ladders- available in over 60 variations- to upcoming innovations like boat lifts and marine accessories, every Tie Down Marine product is proudly made in the USA. We combine precision engineering with practical design to deliver comfort, safety, and reliability at the water's edge.

Innovation that Floats your Way of Life.

We're constantly evolving to meet the needs of today's dock owners, boaters, and waterfront families. Whether you're installing your first ladder or upgrading your entire dock system, Tie Down Marine is here to help you make the most of your time at the lake.
