Types of Bouys
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.
Figure 1-6. Types of Buoys
Buoys with unique light flashing characteristics are identified on nautical charts with the
specific flashing pattern.
Mooring Bouys
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.

Regulatory Markers
Regulatory markers indicate dangerous or restricted controlled areas. These markers are
used to indicate speed zones, areas set aside for particular use, general information and
directions.
Regulatory markers are white with orange geometric shapes and also have orange bands
near the top and at the water line of the buoy. You must obey regulatory markers.
