Buoys

Watermark offers three different buoy products, any of which can be customized for specific situations, as well as custom buoy "wraps" for replaceable buoy signage.

  • WNS 1060 - The 1060 series offers a high-quality spar buoy at an affordable price.
  • WNS 6000 - The 6000 series small float collar buoys are economical and dependable.
  • WNS 7000 - The 7000 series mid-size heavy duty buoys are designed for high visibility and years of service.
  • Custom Vinyl Wraps - Custom Vinyl Wraps provide an economical and efficient way to refresh buoys currently in service.

All of these buoys feature:

  • UV stabilized Polyethylene hulls that are 3/16" thick (thicker than most polyethylene kayaks) which make the buoys tough and long lasting
  • Enough concrete ballast to ensure that the buoy will stand upright without requiring additional weight on the mooring line
  • US Coast Guard approved Urethane Foam that completely fills the buoy hull
  • Galvanized mooring eyes, either 1/2" galvanized or stainless steel (by request)
  • 3M 3" reflective tape for superior night time visibility
  • Replaceable Vinyl Wrap for those buoys that require regulatory signage
  • Optional Solar Navigation Lights that can be easily added in the field

Regulatory buoys

Regulatory buoys are used to provide information to waterway users. General information, such as a "no wake zone" or "speed limit" can be displayed, in addition to hazard warnings, i.e. shoals, fouling hazards and submerged objects. Regulatory buoys are also used to mark restricted areas around outfall pipes, dams and ports.

Channel Markers

Channel markers are used to designate navigable waterways. They can mark the way into a small inlet, the entrance to a major harbor, or line an entire river.
