A device for retaining, carrying and making easily graspable one end of a mooring line for a boat adjacent a dock or mooring. The device includes an extensible member having two ends and which is movable between an extended position in which the ends are spaced apart from each other and a retracted position in which the ends are closely adjacent each other. One end of the extensible member is secured to a predetermined position adjacent the dock or mooring buoy while the other end of the extensible member is fashioned into an easily grasped shape and is detachably secured adjacent to a free end of the mooring line. A spring or other means is used to urge the extensible member towards its retracted position so that the device maintains the mooring line at a predetermined accessible position adjacent the dock or mooring and above the water line. This enables the mooring line to be easily retrieved by the returning boater and used in its normal fashion to secure the boat.
