SOS Inflatable Danbuoy 33
The SOS Inflatable Dan Buoy is a purpose-built man-overboard (MOB) marker designed for fast, reliable deployment. Packaged into a compact valise, it auto-inflates the moment it hits the water, deploying a bright, tall marker pole, SOLAS light, reflective tape, streamer, and hand-holds so the person in the water has visibility and support. With its large drogue to reduce drift, the buoy remains near the MOB even in wind and waves. Barton Marine offers this as essential safety gear, with genuine service and prompt nationwide delivery. Features & Benefits (Bulleted List)
Self-contained, ready-to-go design: no assembly required — just throw into the water for instant deployment.

High visibility: fluorescent yellow material, SOLAS-approved flashing light & reflective tape to aid detection in day or night.
Large drogue (approx. 120 cm circumference × 60 cm long) reduces wind drift, keeps buoy close to the MOB.
Webbing loops / hand grips so the person overboard can hold on / stabilise while awaiting rescue.
Streaming ribbon of ~2.5 metres for additional day visibility and to mark the wind/current direction.
Compact when packed, lightweight (~4 kg), easy to stow; reusable with replacement cartridge and CO₂ cylinder.
