What Are Marker Buoys?

A marker buoy is often the first source of vital information for boaters. Wondering about the conditions, cautions, and hazards in your stretch of the waterway? Our durable, attention-getting marker buoys from Carolina Waterworks are designed to inform and protect. Equipped with superior flotation due to our high-grade expandable polystyrene foam and stabilized with twenty pounds of ballast concrete, our marker buoys stand vigilant, ensuring boaters are aware of no wake zones, slow areas, danger spots, and swim regions. We have you covered for every scenario.
