Best Boat Fenders of 2025

"I found the material to be heavy and plenty big. Unfortunately, I had to return it since it was a gift and the recipient already had a pair. He mentioned he wished he had gotten these first."

"Installation was a breeze for me; it took only 5 minutes. They work perfectly to prevent my fingers from getting crushed!"

"After several months of using these for docking our pontoon boat, I’m really happy with how well they’re holding up."

"I use these on my pontoon boat at the lake, and they work really well. I'm lucky to have an electric air compressor for quick inflation!"

"This set of basic boat fenders is well-priced and comes with fender rope. They inflate easily with a bike pump and hold pressure well."

"These fenders are perfect for weekend boaters like me. They were a great find for my 18-foot fishing boat—quick shipping and solid quality!"

“I love the curved design of these fenders; they protect my rub rail perfectly. They're quick and easy to deploy, whether I attach them to the boat's cleats or the pilings. Plus, they take up less space than most other styles.”

“After reading reviews, I chose the Sebnux fenders over traditional balloon fenders. I was skeptical at first, but these are fantastic! They lock onto the side of my boat easily, and I appreciate their compact design. No ropes to deal with either!”

“I have a Yamaha AR190, and traditional fenders just weren’t working for me. These fenders have been a game changer for my tight marina slip. They really cinch tight and provide a buffer, which is exactly what I needed. So far, I'm pleased with their performance!”

“I purchased a set of these fenders for my boat and dock. I'm really impressed with their size (8 1/2”) and sturdiness. After using them for 2 months, they are all holding the same air pressure. I tried another brand before that had 3 out of 4 deflating overnight. I ended up buying a second set of these, and they are working perfectly. I would highly recommend them.”

“We got these for our 22' pontoon boat, and they are working well to keep my boat from hitting the dock. I've got nothing bad to say; they were even easy to inflate with the supplied pump.”

“I found these fenders to be of good quality for a good price. The vinyl is pretty thick, and I appreciate the lines that came with them. I did use an electric compressor to inflate them, which was much more efficient than the hand pump. They even included a bag for transporting the inflated fenders, though it’s a bit awkward to carry without handles.”

"I find these inflatable fenders provide excellent protection, keeping my boat safe from bumps when docked. The ribbed design adds to their durability, and I love that they come with four ropes for easy securing. The storage bag and air pump are nice bonuses, too. I've used them on several outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. They’re just the right size for my boat and lightweight, making them easy to handle. I highly recommend them!"

"These fenders seem to be of good quality. Inflating them can be a bit awkward, but that might just be the pump. I would definitely buy these again."

"I used these fenders against an oyster-covered concrete wall, and after a week, I saw no damage on the floats. Inflating is manageable, especially with a larger pump, and deflating is easy, even if it takes a bit longer. They come with sturdy lines already attached, and overall, I'm really pleased with them."

"I’ve had great success with the Taylor made fenders I bought. Initially, one didn’t hold air, but they sent a replacement immediately. Overall, I’m really pleased with my purchase."

"I just replaced a fender that I’ve had for 15 years. The previous one started leaking, but I can’t complain since the rest still looks great. This is a super product!"

"I ordered four fenders for my 53-foot Navigator, but they arrived individually, which cost me a lot in import fees. Unfortunately, two of them were defective. Although they have a lifetime warranty, sending them back would be too expensive, so I repaired them instead. I wouldn’t recommend this product based on my experience."

"I was initially a bit skeptical about buying these since they were cheaper than retail, but I decided to give them a try for our boat. We needed three more, and I’m glad I did! They are true Taylor Made products, and the blue color looks great. To match them with old ones, I just put the new fenders on one side and the old ones on the other. Problem solved!"

"I’ve had these bumpers for four years now, and they are still in great shape. I hung them vertically to protect my boat from wood docks, and they work perfectly. Recently, I reordered the same model and placed them horizontally, using PVC pipes to attach them. They now protect the nose cone spray fin of my pontoon boat while docked. Works for me!"

"These fenders are awesome! After dealing with so many low-quality fenders over the years, I finally found these solid ones. They just work, and I’ve been really impressed with their performance!"

"I purchased these maroon fenders to match my cruiser, and I was impressed with the high quality. The rope is securely stitched at the loop, which gives me peace of mind. While I'm unsure about their durability in direct sun and salt, we bring them in when not in use. Overall, I would definitely recommend them for the price and quality."

"Having owned multiple sets of these fenders, I appreciate the valve feature that lets me adjust air based on application and temperature. The ropes are high quality; they’ve never broken or frayed even after being in the sun all summer. I'm very satisfied with them."

"I'm using these fenders on my small 13' boat, and they work perfectly. They are also a great price. No complaints from me!"

"I initially faced issues with my fenders, but the vendor promptly offered a full refund even after the 30-day limit. Their customer service exceeded my expectations and made up for the product defect."

"When I got these fenders, I was surprised by how large they were! Inflating them with my compressor was straightforward, and they really protect my boat from bumps even in strong wakes. They were definitely worth the investment!"

"I found these fenders to be a great size and durable, but it did take quite a while to pump them up. The ropes included were a bit narrow, so I ended up needing to buy thicker ones for better security."

"I found these pads to be very good and they were at a better price than the marine store."

"I used them on my 16-foot boat and they worked great. They hugged the boat's contour nicely, preventing scratches. However, they did feel a bit flimsy and moved around a lot."

"Despite some mixed reviews, I think these bumpers are built really well. I've tested them on choppy docks against concrete and wood, and aside from a few scratches, they show no visible damage. They also mold perfectly to RIBs and seem less prone to rolling out."
