A foldable anchor storable on watercraft with limited storage and deck space and which secures watercraft in place in sandy and soft bottom boating areas and is releasable from underwater objects. The foldable anchor includes a forward anchor body with an internal weighted ballast on an anchor body and a two-part shank pivotably attached to a top end of the anchor body which allows the shank to pivot from an elevated position to a lowered position relative the anchor body. The shank has a rear portion and a front portion pivotably disposed thereon and foldable against the rear portion. Stabilizer wings between the front and rear portions assist the anchor body to roll into a correct upright position. Locking pins secure each of the rear and front portions together and the rear portion and anchor body together at selected angles. D-rings and breakable zip ties secure the shank to an anchor rope.
