Choosing the Right Boat Fenders: A Size and Selection Guide

How Many Boat Fenders Do I Need?

As a general rule of thumb, no matter the style of fender you choose, you should have at least two (though ideally three) boat fenders for even the smallest boats to provide the greatest protection. For mid and larger-size boats, you should plan on having at least one fender or bumper available for every 10 feet of waterline per side. Aside from storing additional fenders, you won’t regret having backup fenders ready...just in case.

Do I Need Dock and/or Fender Lines, and How Many?

Yes, but it also depends!

Having the rights sizes and quantity of dock and fenders lines is crucial to ensuring a safe docking or raft-up/tie-up experience. You’ll also need separate fender lines for most types of fenders, though some of our products, like our flagship SENTRY fender, have been designed to not require additional fender lines since the straps to secure this fender are already integrated into the fender itself.

We’ve created this line selection and size chart FAQ to help you better understand dock and fender lines. Please use the chart and information in this article to determine exactly what you need.

Matching Fender and Bumper Colors to Your Boat.

Tough choice! Finding the best boat fender can be tricky—especially when you’re looking for something that is both sleek and stylish while providing top-notch protection. Luckily, MISSION Boat Gear has fender options that can do both. Our fenders and bumpers come in a variety of colors to match your boat.

In terms of picking a color to match your boat, the only judge of what will look good for your boat is YOU! That being said, we generally recommend staying away from trying to color match your fender to your boat, as no two colors are exactly the same and may look a little off. If you like a pop of color, you can choose a brighter fender color to standout against a more neutral boat color (or vice-versa).

Choosing the right Boat Fender - NautiCurl LLC

Foam Flat Fenders

One of the latest innovations in boat fenders. Flat fenders such as the EVA Foam Fender by NautiCurl provides a number of advantages in comparison to traditional fenders.
Flat Fenders such as the NautiFender are constructed from a compressible, mold-resistant, durable EVA foam providing long-lasting protection for most boat styles. Flat Fenders easily contour to curved hulls providing trusted protection without rolling or riding-up.
Flat Fenders also allow for a lower connection point due to the integrated dock line pass-through that leaves the cleat available for tie up. The flat fender can also be used as a Boat Bumper (attached to the dock) with the 8-point rope system making attachment to a dock pipe, beam or cleat possible. Flat fenders also easily stow under a seat, in a compartment or can be used as a seat cushion.

Benefits: Stylish and modern, easy to stow, works with curved hulls, lightweight, affordable price point, used as a fender or bumper, cleat access for boat tie-up, longevity, and durability

Disadvantages: Narrow profile may not provide protection for larger vessels
