As an OnBuoy host, ensuring your guests can easily locate and access your moorage is essential. Mast buoys offer a simple yet effective solution to this need. Here's what you should know about mast buoys and how they can benefit you:
What is a mast buoy?
A mast buoy is a specialized float with a long vertical pole extending from its center. This pole acts as a mast for attaching flags or lines. The buoyant body of the mast buoy keeps it visible on the water's surface, making it easier for boaters to locate your moorage, especially from a distance. It also simplifies the mooring process for boaters by making it easy to grab the mooring line attached.
Why use a mast buoy on your mooring?
The combination of a brightly colored flag and a tall mast significantly improves the visibility of your moorage, particularly in crowded harbors or areas with multiple moorings. This makes it easier for guests to identify their designated spot upon arrival. This can limit the likelihood that your guest ties up to the wrong moorage.
OnBuoy offers a high-quality, made in the USA mast buoy for sale to OnBuoy members. The mast buoy features a custom OnBuoy flag with the same design as the decal so it also serves as a private property notice and the QR code makes it easy for visiting boaters to ask permission to tie up.
