A boat fender protects the boat from damage due to collisions that might occur during maneuvers or while moored. NauticExpo offers a wide range of boat fenders, including inflatable and solid types.
The boat fender protects the boat from damage during docking and undocking maneuvers. It also prevents scraping against docks or other boats due to wave action.
Boat fenders differ by design (cylindrical, solid, round, etc.) and material (rubber, foam rubber, polyethylene, etc.). Inflatable fenders, usually cylindrical, absorb shock by compression of the air within. Solid fenders are made of soft materials such as polyethylene.
Choice will depend on size and displacement of the boat. Cylindrical fenders are more elastic, but cover less area than solid fenders.
