Mo Nelson, Founder & CEO at a dragon boat race

Ahoy, Sea Explorers and Nautical Adventurers!

I’m Mo, the heart, hands, and salty soul behind Fin & Anchor. My love affair with the ocean began in Okinawa, Japan, when I first glimpsed its vast, blue beauty while stationed there with the U.S. Marine Corps. One look at those sparkling waters, and I was hooked—line, sinker, and all.

Since then, I’ve paddled, snorkeled, and cruised my way through countless adventures, soaking up the freedom, thrill, and peace that only the sea can offer. I created Fin & Anchor for people like you—those who can’t resist the call of the waves, the hum of the motor, or the quiet bliss of a sunset paddle. Whether you’re gearing up for a high-seas escapade or just want to bring a touch of the ocean’s magic into your everyday life, I’ve got you covered.

From trusted marine electronics and boat parts to laid-back, nautical-inspired apparel and accessories, everything here is handpicked or designed by our team to help you dive deeper into the lifestyle we love. So, drop anchor, stay a while, and join me in making waves—because the adventure is just getting started.

Stay salty,
Mo 🌊⚓
