Types of Buoys
There are several types and shapes of buoys. Buoys may be unlighted,
lighted, with sound or may have both an audible and a visual signal.
Lights, bells and horns are used on buoys for night or poor visibility
conditions. Different shapes of buoys are shown below.
Buoys with unique light flashing characteristics are identified on nautical
charts with the specific flashing pattern.
Mooring Buoys
The only buoys you are permitted to moor to are
mooring buoys. Mooring buoys are white with a blue
horizontal stripe. Mooring to a navigation buoy,
regulatory markers or lateral markers is illegal.
