Master IALA buoyage and light rhythms with interactive, light simulators and exam-style tests.

Maritime Master – IALA is your pocket trainer for buoyage and navigation lights, built for real-world sailing and exam-style practice.

See how IALA marks and light rhythms look, behave, then lock it in with targeted quizzes and mixed exams.

Master the two big IALA challenges

1. Buoyage • Lateral marks for IALA Region A and Region B • Cardinal, special, safe water and isolated danger marks • Colours, shapes, topmarks and, crucially, what each mark means in practice

2. Navigation lights & rhythms • Fixed, occulting, isophase, flashing, quick, very quick, ultra quick • Morse, alternating and special patterns (including emergency wreck marks) • Realistic animated “bulbs” plus timeline-style charts that mirror standard exam diagrams

Train the way exams test you • Buoyage Basics – match descriptions and light characteristics to the correct mark • Name That Buoy – image-only questions: identify the mark from the diagram • Light Rhythms – match written descriptions to the correct IALA abbreviation • Name That Light Pattern – watch the animated sequence, then choose the right answer • Mixed Exam – longer, mixed papers for full pre-exam practice

Choose your IALA setup: • Region A, Region B, or A + B (mixed) The active region is always shown in the question so you’re never left guessing which convention applies.

Built for sailors and navigation students • Ideal companion for popular theory and navigation courses • Clear explanations under each question so every mistake becomes a lesson • Modern, dark-friendly interface that echoes real chart symbols and light sequences

Maritime Master – IALA is designed to help you walk into your next theory lesson, exam, or passage planning session feeling confident with buoyage and lights – not just memorising patterns, but truly understanding what they mean on the water.
