The Go-To Cruise Ship Magnetic Hook
Most cruise ship cabins are built with steel walls — which means instant organization opportunities.
The MINI Magnetic Hook is a favorite for cruise travel because it allows you to:
- Hang purses and backpacks
- Keep jackets off the bed
- Organize lanyards and excursion gear
- Store hats and day bags
- Create vertical storage in tight cabin spaces

MINI Magnetic Hooks vs. Command™ Strips
Adhesive hooks and Command™ strips can seem convenient — but they often come with limitations. Adhesives can fail over time, lose grip in humidity, or leave residue behind.
The MINI Magnetic Hook offers a reusable, repositionable alternative for steel surfaces:
- No adhesives to dry out or fail
- No sticky residue left behind
- Easy to move and reposition anytime
- Strong shear holding power tested on 16 gauge galvanized steel

Built With Patented Gator Magnetics Technology
Like all of our magnetic organization products, the MINI features our patented magnetic circuit design for strong, secure holding power on steel surfaces. Easy to attach, reposition, and reuse wherever you need flexible storage.

Important: Magnetic hooks work on steel surfaces. They will not attach to aluminum, wood, plastic, or drywall without steel behind it.
Compact Size. Serious Versatility.
At just 3.22”H x 1.28”W x 1.73”D, the MINI is ideal for lockers, kitchens, filing cabinets, garage tool cabinets, steel shelving, and cruise ship cabin walls. It’s the easiest way to add removable organization to steel surfaces — no drilling required.
Why Choose Gator?
When we say “Holds up to 15 lbs,” we mean it. Gator Magnetics measures shear force—the downward pull of real hanging weight—not pull force like most magnetic hook brands.
Other brands test using thick, 1.5-inch steel plates. We test on 16 gauge galvanized steel—the same type commonly found in lockers, cabinets, and steel storage systems. The result: reliable performance in real-world conditions.
