Polyform Pickup/Marker/Mast Buoys

Polyform Pickup, Marker & Mast Buoys: Setting the Standard on the Water

When it comes to marking your position, flagging a mooring line, or guiding a course on open water, few names carry as much weight as Polyform. With roots stretching back to 1955 — when Polyform produced what is recognized as the world's first inflatable, all-plastic buoy — the brand has spent decades earning the trust of commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, and maritime professionals across the globe. Their pickup, marker, and mast buoys represent that same legacy of quality applied to one of boating's most practical everyday needs.

The A-Series: A Proven Foundation for Marker Buoys

Polyform's flagship A-Series is the cornerstone of their buoy lineup and a natural fit for pickup and marker applications. More fishermen use the Polyform A-Series than all other buoys combined — a testament to its reputation on oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes alike. The A-Series features Polyform's signature blue ropehold, which is solid all the way through and manufactured using high-pressure injection molding for maximum breaking strength. A dual-valve inflation system makes field inflation straightforward, while the seamless construction and durable PVC material ensure these buoys hold their shape and visibility in demanding conditions.

WS-Series: Built for Course Marking

For water ski enthusiasts and tournament organizers, Polyform offers the WS-Series water ski marker buoy. The WS-1 is purpose-built for setting water skiing courses and meets official American Water Ski Association (AWSA) specifications for record-capable tournaments. Available in multiple high-visibility colors — including yellow, orange, red, and green — it's designed to mark both ski and boat courses with clarity. Its durable PVC construction and reliable ropehold make it a dependable choice for both casual lake use and competitive events.
