The present invention relates to a buoy system capable of maintaining a buoy in a fixed position on the ocean or another body of water without the use of an anchoring device. The buoy system includes a navigation control system for determining the position of the buoy relative to a desired station and a propulsion system for maneuvering the buoy to and maintaining it at the desired location or station. The navigation system receives positional information from a global positioning system antenna, and a compass. The propulsion system on the buoy may be formed by one or more thrusters.
