A cleating device (20) for securing a line (34) to a boat or a dock. The device (20) includes a cleat head (36) supported by two upright stems (38) connecting to an elongated platform (30) having opposed ends and a middle section therebetween. A deadeye (28) is formed between the cleat head stems (38). The cleat head (36) includes at least two protruding arms (37a, 37b). In one embodiment, the cleat head protruding arms (37a, 37b) form a V-shape. In a second embodiment, the cleat head protruding arms (37a, 37b) form an S-shape. Chock side horns (26a, 26b) are provided at the platform ends and are each generally oriented inward, toward the platform middle section. The protruding arms (37a, 37b) and side horns (26a, 26b) are nonlinearly aligned relative to one another as viewed in plan view.
