With these Heavy-Duty Inflatable Fenders you can easily carry large fenders on your boat for traversing locks, rafting up with other boats, protecting your boat from bad docks, weathering wind, waves and storms, or even everyday use. Lightweight, extremely durable and requiring minimal storage space, these fenders are made from a heavy, high denier, polyester fabric with built-in UV protection like that used in dinghy construction. They are heavily PVC-coated and hand glued with seam reinforcement inside and out for rugged, reliable service. Seams are three to four layers thick to assure seam integrity and both ends feature stainless steel D-ring attachment points securely fastened to a layered backing plate. Standard inflatable boat air valves provide quick (under one minute) inflation and deflation. In sizes to accommodate everything from a 40' boat to a 200' yacht.

| Boat Length | Fender Size | Notes |
| 17 to 25 feet | 9”x22”, 10”x26”, 12”x29”, 12”x42”, 12”x58” | The larger 12” diameter fenders have become a popular choice for rafting up and side ties |
| 25 to 32 feet | 10″ x 26″, 12”x29”, 12”x42”, 12”x58” | The appropriate fender is determined by a combination of factors, including the air volume, surface area, as well as the vessel’s weight. |
| 32 to 40 feet | 12”x29”, 12”x42”, 12”x58”, 12”x72” | The 12″ diameter fenders in various lengths are ideal for most vessels in this size range. However, the 18″ x 29″ size is particularly popular for locks and bow flares. |
| 40 to 45 feet | 12”x42″, 18”x29”, 18″x42″ 18”x58” | In this range, the longer 12” diameter fenders and all 18” fenders offer adequate protection. Lighter vessels, both sail and power, can still use the 12” diameter fenders. |
| 45 to 55 feet | 12″x58″, 12″x72″, 12″x96″, and all 18″ diameter models” | The 58″ and longer fenders perform excellently when positioned horizontally against pilings. By releasing a small amount of air, they conform to the piling and stay securely in place. |
| 55 to 70 feet | 18”x29”, 18″x42″, 18″x58″, 24”x29” | 18″ fenders offer effective fendering, while vessels with an extreme bow flare may require our 24” diameter fenders for better protection. |
| 70 to 99 feet | 24”x29”, 24”x42”, 24”x58”, 24″x96” | The 24″ x 96″ fender is highly popular for stern-to-ties and protecting swim platforms. |
| 99 to 150 feet | 24”x42”, 24”x58”, 24″x96″ | Our 24″ diameter fenders are ideal for yachts in this size range. |
| 150 to 200 feet | 24″x96” | Yachts in this size range need fenders with adequate diameter, but they must also be easy for the crew to deploy and reposition at the Captain’s command. |
