Seachoice Fixed Eye Snaps

Seachoice Fixed Eye Snaps: Trusted Marine Hardware Built for the Water

When it comes to securing lines, harnesses, and rigging on the water, the hardware you choose matters as much as the rope itself. Seachoice has been engineering dependable marine hardware since 1988, and their lineup of fixed eye snaps reflects that decades-long commitment to quality, functionality, and corrosion resistance. Whether you're rigging a mooring buoy line, setting up safety harnesses, or managing deck gear, Seachoice fixed eye snaps deliver the kind of fast, reliable connection that boaters depend on in demanding conditions.

Two Material Choices for Every Application

Seachoice offers their fixed eye snaps in two primary materials — cast 316 stainless steel and cast brass — each with a polished finish that suits both functional and aesthetic demands aboard any vessel.

• Cast 316 Stainless Steel Fast Eye Snaps: Built for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, these snaps are cast from marine-grade 316 stainless steel with a polished finish. They feature a fixed (non-swiveling) eye for secure, permanent line attachments and are well-suited for harnesses and mooring buoy lines. Available in multiple sizes, including 3-1/4" and 3-7/8" lengths.
• Cast Brass Fast Eye Snaps: Offered in a polished cast brass construction, these snaps are an economical option for applications where stainless steel is not required. They deliver the same spring-loaded latch mechanism for quick attachment and release, and are available across a range of sizes to match various line diameters and load requirements.

What Makes a Fixed Eye Snap Different?

Unlike swivel eye variants, a fixed eye snap features a stationary attachment loop, which provides a more rigid, direct connection to a cleat, ring, or anchor point. This design is preferred when rotational movement would compromise rigging integrity or when a low-profile, stable attachment is needed. Seachoice's fixed eye snaps pair a spring-loaded latch with a fixed round eye, allowing one-handed operation while maintaining a secure hold under load.

Built to Seachoice's Marine Standards

Seachoice was established in 1988 as a supplier of high-quality marine hardware, and today the brand backs its full product range — including these snaps — with a no-hassle warranty. Their hardware is manufactured to rigorous standards to ensure proper function and a professional-grade appearance. With stocking locations across the U.S. and Canada, replacement parts are readily accessible whenever you need them.

If you're outfitting a new vessel or replacing worn hardware, Seachoice's fixed eye snap lineup offers a well-rounded selection in both materials and sizes.
