Magnetic IALA Pocket Buoys — Afloat Instructor Training Aid
Magnetic IALA Pocket Buoys are the ideal companion for on-water training demonstrations and practical navigation exercises. Compact, durable, and easy to deploy, these buoys let instructors demonstrate buoyage systems directly afloat — making every session more interactive and memorable.
Built to replicate the detail and accuracy of our full-size models, these magnetized, pocket-sized buoys bring the IALA system to life during afloat training. Instructors can quickly set up navigation scenarios, channel layouts, and mark recognition exercises without bulky equipment or complex setup.
Perfect for sailing schools, maritime academies, and onboard training programs, the Pocket Buoys provide a clear way to teach IALA Region buoyage, helping learners visualise lateral marks, cardinal marks, and safe-water channels right where they matter most — on the water.

Love them. Small yet well made and easy to store after use.
I have a large collection of these training aids, they are brilliant and I think they add a little extra to my training sessions. I purchased the mini pocket buoys as an aid when teaching afloat. They are also brilliant and help me explain or test different situations you may find yourself in. I am so pleased with them I am considering purchasing another 2 sets as gifts for 2 other instructors I work with.
Fantastic product. All the main IALA A buoys are in the pack. They are a great size to be seen by students around a table, and are magnetic so can stick to a whiteboard. The price was excellent for what they are, as they provide a visual aid to what can be quite a difficult topic for some students to understand. I highly recommend this to any Powerboat, PWC, Dinghy Instructors to add to your teaching aids, they’ve helped me hugely.
Best mini training resource I have purchased. Very well made, internal magnets for magnetic white board use. Already ordered multiple sets to include on instructor training courses. The original and best by far!
