Better Boat inflatable boat fenders 23 x 6.5 in, Blue, 2 Pack — ribbed UV-resistant PVC, tapered eyelets

These Better Boat inflatable dock fenders are a two-pack of 23" x 6.5" UV-resistant PVC bumpers that protect a 20–26 ft boat from scuffs, dings, and impact while docking.

Designed for boaters who want lightweight, stowable protection without sacrificing holding strength, this set arrives ready to rig: two ribbed fenders, a compact hand pump, spare needle tips, and two six-foot pre-whipped lines. The tapered molded eyelets and ribbed profile mean the fenders stay put and cushion contact with docks, pilings, or neighboring boats while resisting sun damage from marine environments.

How do these fenders keep my hull safe during docking?

The ribbed surface reduces the direct contact area between hull and bumper, creating small air gaps that lower friction and limit abrasion. When pushed against a dock the ribs absorb and distribute force, and the tapered eyelets lock the line in place so the fender doesn’t slide under load.

• Raised ridges minimize scuffs and gel-coat wear
• 18" of actual inflatable protection along each fender
• Molded eyelets taper to secure lines under tension
• UV-resistant PVC resists sun degradation

Will these fenders fit my boat and dock setup?

These 6.5" fenders are sized for most boats 20–26 ft long; they give adequate coverage for standard slip docking and side-ties. For wide-beam pontoons or boats over 26 ft, larger 8" fenders are typically recommended, and adding a third fender improves overnight or high-traffic slip protection.

• Recommended for 20–26 ft boats
• Two fenders cover most daytime docking needs
• Add a third for overnight or exposed slips
• Pre-whipped 6 ft lines fit common rail and cleat setups

How easy is it to rig, inflate, and store these fenders?

The set comes with a compact hand pump and two spare needle tips so you can inflate on the dock and stow the pump in a locker between trips. The self-sealing valve requires no cap, and the included pre-whipped lines are ready to attach—no splicing required.

• Quick inflation with included hand pump
• Self-sealing needle valve; no cap to lose
• Two spare needle tips for backup
• Pump and deflated fenders pack flat for easy storage

How durable are the fenders in sun, wind, and heavy contact?

Constructed from UV-resistant PVC and featuring reinforced, molded eyelets, these fenders are built to resist fading and stress when used in sun-exposed marinas. The tapered eyelet design prevents the line from pulling through under heavy loads, and the ribbed shape reduces rolling so the bumper stays where you place it.

• UV-stable PVC for long-term outdoor use
• Tapered eyelets lock lines under load
• Ribbed profile prevents rolling and maintains position
• Designed by Better Boat in Miami Beach for marine conditions

Who this is for: this set is ideal for day-boat owners, weekend captains, and seasonal sailors with 20–26 ft vessels who want lightweight, packable fenders that are simple to rig and effective at preventing dings. If you need larger coverage for a wider or longer craft, consider stepping up to an 8" model; otherwise, this Better Boat two-pack gives immediate, marina-ready protection with convenient onboard storage.
