Life on a superyacht demands precision, efficiency, and flawless presentation.
Crews work in an environment where every detail matters — from safety and speed to aesthetics. Fendertex® fenders have become the preferred choice for professional yacht crews worldwide because they deliver performance where it counts.
Ultra-Lightweight for Fast, Safe Handling
Traditional PVC or PU fenders can weigh up to 20–25 kg each in larger sizes, making them awkward to handle — especially when moving multiple fenders in tight spaces.
Fendertex® fenders are up to 95% lighter, thanks to a patented knitted polyester textile exterior and inflatable TPU bladder. Even our largest models can be carried and deployed by one crew member, reducing fatigue, speeding up docking procedures, and improving onboard safety.
Space-Saving Storage
Onboard storage is always at a premium. Fendertex® fenders deflate in seconds, roll up to just 5–10% of their inflated volume, and can be stowed in compact lockers, tender garages, or under seating. Crews regain valuable deck space and reduce clutter — especially important during guest operations or when the yacht is on display.
Professional, Brand-Matched Appearance
A yacht’s image is part of its value. Fendertex® offers custom covers in a wide color palette with woven or embroidered options for yacht names, logos, or patterns. The soft textile surface eliminates the risk of scratching paint or gelcoat, while avoiding the “bulky black” look of most PVC inflatables. When guests arrive or the yacht enters a high-profile marina, the fenders are an extension of the vessel’s style.
Built for Harsh Marine Conditions
The mass-dyed polyester textile is UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and hydrophobic — preventing salt crystals and dirt from embedding in the fibers (a common problem with acrylic or neoprene covers).
The TPU bladder is ultrasonically welded for airtight performance, requiring only minimal pressure (350–400 mbar) to deliver exceptional shock absorption. Covers are machine washable and quick-drying, making it easy for crew to keep them looking pristine season after season.
Proven on the World’s Finest Yachts
Fendertex® fenders are trusted by hundred of elite shipyards — as well as by thousands of professional captains and crew. When the docking environment is demanding and presentation matters, crews choose Fendertex® for its unmatched blend of strength, handling ease, and aesthetics.
The Crew Advantage
From rapid deployment to compact storage, from brand-aligned visuals to season-after-season durability — Fendertex® is more than just a fender.
It’s a smarter, lighter, and more professional way to protect your yacht and work efficiently.
