For permanent moorings, choose a high-buoyancy mooring buoy like the Polyform A-Series, MB-Series or CC-Series. They provide excellent support for mooring chains and ropes.

The required buoyancy depends on your boat’s weight and mooring setup. As a rule of thumb, the buoy must support the full weight of the mooring chain with extra capacity for safety.

A mooring buoy supports the anchor system, while a pickup buoy helps retrieve the mooring line.

Yes, our marine-grade buoys are UV-resistant and designed for all-season exposure. However, check for algae growth or wear during regular maintenance.

Quality buoys, such as those from Polyform, are UV-stabilised to resist fading and degradation. Like boat fenders, occasional cleaning will extend their life and maintain visibility.
