Proper boat navigation lights are non-negotiable for safe and legal boating after dark or in poor visibility. However, finding the right navigation lights for boats is not just about ticking a box but about choosing reliable, durable gear that stands up to the harsh marine environment.
We stock a huge selection of marine navigation lights to suit every type of vessel, from small tenders to larger cruising yachts. You’ll find everything you need right here to stay visible and compliant with Australian maritime regulations.
The foundation of any lighting setup is a clear set of port (red) and starboard (green) lights. These directional lights are critical for helping other boaters understand your orientation and direction of travel at a glance.
Our collection includes a variety of mounting styles to fit your boat's specific design, including top-mount units for deck placement and side-mount pairs for cabin or hull installation. You can choose from horizontal or vertical mountings to work with your available space, along with different housing finishes like classic black to match your boat’s aesthetic.
With options for separate red and green lens assemblies, you can get the exact configuration you need for a clean, professional installation. Having these essentials sorted is the first step, but for smaller boats, combining them into one unit can be a smart move.
For boats with limited space, especially on the bow, a bi-colour boat navigation light offers a brilliant solution. By housing the red and green lights in a single fixture, you get the same required visibility with half the wiring and a cleaner look. Our range is perfect for smaller powerboats, dinghies, and tenders.
We offer portable options with C-clamps or strong suction cup mounts, which are perfect for temporary use or on vessels where drilling isn't practical. For a more permanent fix, you can find hard-wired 12v horizontal mount units with different housing colours, like crisp white, to suit your boat. These compact and efficient lights provide the forward visibility you need, which works perfectly with lights designed to illuminate the rear.
Completing your boat's lighting arc requires dedicated masthead and stern lights. A forward-facing white masthead light, shining over a 225-degree arc, indicates you're a power-driven vessel underway. At the back, a 135-degree white stern light shows trailing vessels your position.
You can find a great selection of these crucial navigation lights for sale in our store, with different designs to match your setup. Choose from sleek vertical mount stern lights or tough stainless steel transom models built for maximum corrosion resistance.
For vessels with a mast, our dedicated masthead lights deliver powerful illumination, with some rated for up to 3 nautical miles of visibility. These lights cover your forward and rear arcs, but for times when you're stationary, you’ll need 360-degree coverage.
We have plenty of 360-degree anchor lights to make sure you stay seen. For a fixed, low-profile solution, a surface-mount lamp is an excellent choice. If you need more flexibility, our range of boat navigation lights for sale includes fold-down and plug-in telescopic models that can be raised when needed and lowered to stay out of the way.
We even offer portable suction-mounted versions for small boats or as a reliable backup. Many of our units use long-lasting LED technology for minimal power draw - a huge plus when you're running on battery power overnight. Having a dedicated anchor light is key, but for sailboats, a multi-purpose light at the masthead is often the most practical choice.
Sailboats, especially those under 20 metres, can benefit immensely from a tri-colour navigation light. Mounted at the top of the mast, these clever units combine the port, starboard, and stern lights into a single housing. This not only simplifies wiring and reduces windage but also places the lights at the highest point for maximum visibility.
The real advantage is the reduced power consumption compared to running three separate bulbs. Many models also incorporate a 360-degree anchor light in the same unit, giving you a complete, all-in-one lighting solution. If you want to buy navigation lights that offer efficiency and convenience for your sailboat, a tri-colour lamp is the ideal option.
