A method for operating an anchor winch and an anchor winch for a vessel (100), comprising a winch drum (20) and an electric drive (30, 40, 41) configured to raise the anchor (11) by driving the winch drum (20) with an electric motor (30), to detect a first increase in a torque produced by the electric motor (30), which is higher than a first predetermined torque threshold, a subsequent decrease in the torque produced by the electric motor (30), which lasts for at least a predetermined time threshold and during which decrease a rate of decrease is within a predetermined range, and a subsequent second increase in the torque produced by the electric motor (30), which is higher than a second predetermined torque threshold, and, in response to detecting the second increase, determine that the anchor (30) has risen above a water surface (200) of a body of water.
