A solid set of cylindrical fenders is one of the smartest investments you can make for your boat. They are the classic, go-to choice for good reason, providing reliable cushioning between your hull and the dock, wharf, or another vessel.
Protecting your boat from costly scrapes, bumps, and gouges is their number one job, and a quality set gives you peace of mind every time you pull in. We stock a huge range of buoys and fenders designed for Australian conditions, making it easy for you to find the perfect match for your boat’s specific protection needs.
Your first step is finding a fender shape that suits your boat and where you moor it. Our collection includes various designs, from large, inflatable bumpers that offer maximum protection in rougher waters to heavy-duty round buoys perfect for marking your mooring or protecting the bow.
You’ll also find straight fenders designed to sit flush against flat surfaces like jetties and pontoons, as well as specialised 'D' section fenders that provide continuous protection along the gunwale. Each type is built for a specific job, giving you the flexibility to build a protection system that works perfectly for your vessel.
Once you’ve settled on the type, getting the size right is crucial. A fender that’s too small won’t offer adequate protection, while one that’s too large can be difficult to handle and store. Our range covers everything from compact models ideal for tinnies and small trailer boats to extra-large options over a metre long, suited for bigger cruisers and yachts.
Consider both the length and diameter, as a wider cylindrical fender provides more standoff distance from the dock. Look for a size that corresponds with your boat’s length and weight to get the best possible cushioning against impact.
Functionality is key, but the right colour can add to your boat's look while also improving visibility. The classic white cylindrical fender with blue tops remains a popular choice for its clean, nautical appearance, blending in nicely with most vessel aesthetics. We also stock options with black tops for a sharper, more modern style.
These colour combinations aren't just for show; the contrasting tops can make your fenders easier to spot in the water during recovery, helping you keep track of your gear. Choosing a colour you like is the perfect finishing touch for your boat’s protective setup.
A fender is only as good as the material it’s made from, and every cylindrical fender in our range is built to withstand the tough marine environment. You’ll find models constructed with a centre hole, allowing for versatile rigging either horizontally or vertically, depending on your needs.
For unique applications, there are padded flat or contour fenders that can be fixed directly to high-impact spots. For boaters who need the toughest gear available, our heavy-duty fenders are made from high-quality, UV-stabilised marine-grade vinyl, resisting sun damage, abrasion, and splitting for long-lasting, reliable performance.
Outfitting your boat properly often requires more than one fender, so we offer multi-packs to give you great value and consistency. You can grab packs of two, three, or even six cylindrical fenders, which is an economical way to replace your old set or equip a new boat from scratch.
Many of these packs also come with handy extras, like pre-spliced lanyards so they’re ready to use straight away, or even a free buoy included with your purchase. To keep your gear in top shape, you can also find accessory kits with inflation needles, giving you everything you need in one go.
With the right cylindrical fender on board, you can dock and moor with confidence, knowing your hull is well-protected. Take your time to explore the different types, sizes, and materials to find the ideal solution for your vessel. Then, after you've picked the right gear, be sure to check out our other specialised options to get total protection for every part of your boat.
