Abstract: A mooring line holder for holding a mooring line at a dock in a raised position for ease of access to the mooring line from the deck of a yacht, cruiser or other watercraft, the mooring line holder having a foot by which it is attached to the dock and an upright pole or post rising from the foot and having a pair of support arms extending laterally from the pole or post at or near the upper end of the pole or post, each support arm having a respective detent/cradle for said mooring line, the detents being spaced apart so that a loop of the mooring line may be held spread open between them, thereby enabling a boat hook or other lengthy tool to be used to reach between the detents and hook the open loop of mooring line.
