Tellegloww 12 Inch Mooring Buoy White with Reflective Blue Stripe, Foam-Filled UV-Resistant Float

The Tellegloww 12-inch mooring buoy is a UV-resistant, foam-filled anchor float with reflective blue stripes and galvanized hardware designed to keep small to medium boats visible and supported while at anchor.

Designed for boaters who need a dependable, easy-to-see float, this 12" Tellegloww mooring buoy combines robust polyethylene construction, single-cell foam buoyancy, and corrosion-resistant fittings. Its reflective stripe improves nighttime visibility and the internal shaft with galvanized rings secures lines and ensures the top and bottom remain unified under load. The result is a compact, purpose-built buoy suitable for marinas, bays, and beachfront mooring.

How much weight can this buoy support when deployed?

The Tellegloww 12-inch buoy provides nearly 10 kg of buoyancy when fully submerged. At the level of the reflective blue stripe—typical for normal floating depth—the buoy supports roughly half that load, making it well-suited for small craft and dinghies. Use this as an auxiliary mooring aid rather than the sole anchor for larger vessels.

• Diameter: 12 inches (30.5 cm)
• Maximum buoyancy when fully submerged: ~10 kg
• Working support at typical float depth: ~5 kg

What materials and features make this buoy durable in marine conditions?

This buoy uses UV-resistant polyethylene for the outer shell and single-cell foam for internal buoyancy, preventing waterlogging and reducing fade from sun exposure. A center shaft links the top and bottom sections for structural integrity, while galvanized steel rings resist rust and provide secure tie points for mooring lines.

• UV-stable polyethylene housing resists sun damage and cracking
• Single-cell foam core ensures long-term floatation without water ingress
• Galvanized steel rings and through-shaft improve strength and attachment reliability

Will the reflective stripe improve night and low-light visibility?

Yes — the blue reflective stripe is designed to bounce back light from boat lights and flashlights, making the buoy easier to spot after dark. While reflective material enhances visibility, it should be paired with proper navigation lighting and safe anchoring practices for nighttime use.

• High-visibility blue reflective band for night detection
• Contrasting white body increases daytime recognition
• Best used with supplemental lights for full nighttime safety

How simple is installation and everyday use?

Installation is straightforward: pass your mooring line through the central shaft and secure it to the galvanized rings. The compact size and light weight make the buoy easy to stow, deploy, and reposition from a dinghy or larger boat.

• Center shaft simplifies line routing and attachment
• Lightweight design for easy handling and storage
• Suitable for quick deployment from small boats or docks

Who is this for? The Tellegloww 12" mooring buoy is aimed at recreational boat owners, dinghy users, and marina operators who want a compact, durable, and visible anchor float for short-term mooring or marking spots. It’s ideal for kayaks, small tenders, and lightweight craft that require a reliable float with reflective safety features. For larger vessels or heavy-duty permanent moorings, use appropriately rated buoys and hardware designed for higher loads.
