Fender covers are designed to protect the hull of the boat while it is docked. Often forgotten, fender covers save your boat from scratching and extend fenders lives that are constantly exposed to a high volumes of UV and friction. They work equally well on motorboats and yachts.

In the last 15 years Fendress have grown from a fender cover manufacturer to a specialist of all-things-fenders. They've expanded their offer to high-end products, including inflatable fenders, fender hooks, and carbon fibre products as well as providing custom embroidery. We've recently added a range of Fendress fender covers to Upffront.com! In this article we give an overview of fender covers that you may have been thinking of buying.

Fendress Acrylic Fender Covers

Acrylic fender covers will be the most popular option on the market and suitable for all major fender brands and manufactured in various sizes. Fendress offer their fender covers in a single or double layer acrylic. The double layer acrylic offers maximum protection and durability

All fender covers are hand-crafted in France from 100% acrylic material. These acrylic covers have a UV-filter to prevent fenders from going hard. Most PVC and vinyl fenders tend to harden over time and leave marks on the hull.

Fendress acrylic fender covers come in 16 bright colours with Navy, Black, Beige, Grey and Anthracite being the most popular colours always high in stock availability. Another advantage of acrylic fender covers from Fendress is that they are easy to put on and remove from the fender. You can also machine wash them on a delicate cycle.

The below table shows the most common double-layer acrylic fender covers and their compatibility with some common fender brands:

Fendress Neoprene Fender Covers

In neoprene fender covers you will find a tight fit that doesn't allow grit and salt to get trapped inside. These fender covers work just like a wetsuit providing waterproof qualities. It makes it a great protection suitable for all major fender brands of PVC and vinyl fenders.

Fendress Neoprene Fender Covers are made from 2mm thick neoprene and are also manufactured in France. They come in black colour and a variety of sizes that you will find on our website. If you'd like to add a personal touch then custom embroidery is your option, available upon request during the check-out process.

Fendress MEGA fender covers (for Fendress inflatable fenders)

Another category of Fendress covers that we offer is the MEGA fender covers range that is available in both - neoprene and acrylic material. Even though they'll fit many other brands, they were specially designed and will fit best on Fendress inflatable fenders.

MEGAs are available for all inflatable fenders dimensions, also in double thickness in acrylic or neoprene. They are nicely seamless lengthwise and closed by cord locks. Same as for the standard neoprene and acrylic fender covers, custom embroidery option is available for the MEGA range.
