Leading yachts are choosing textile fenders
Superyacht captains and owners who have decided that the old way of doing things isn't good enough. If you're already optimizing crew workflows, evaluating equipment for weight and efficiency, and holding onboard systems to a higher standard — Fendertex belongs in that conversation.
The problem with conventional inflatable fenders
If you've run superyacht operations for any length of time, you've encountered all of this. Fenders that take two crew members to move. Rubber residue working its way into paintwork. Fenders that fail under pressure at the worst possible moment. And even the best inflatables on the market still occupy more storage space than they should.
It adds up — across every port, every marina, every season.

Soft on Your Hull

Reduced Crew Effort
Light enough to handle single-handed, even in larger sizes.
