Attwood Marine Fenders: Trusted Protection for Your Hull and Dock
Attwood Marine has spent over a century earning its reputation as one of the marine industry's most dependable names. When it comes to boat fenders, that legacy of precision engineering and quality materials translates directly into products that work hard every time you pull into a slip or tie up at a dock. Browse the full selection of boat fenders to find the right fit for your vessel.
The SoftSide Line: Attwood's Flagship Fender Technology
At the heart of Attwood's fender lineup is the SoftSide series — a range of cylindrical mooring fenders and dock fenders that set the standard for recreational boating protection. These fenders are molded from a lightweight polymeric material that is soft to the touch, easy on hulls, and resistant to UV, chalking, splitting, and crushing. That combination of properties is exactly what boaters need: a fender that won't scratch gelcoat or painted surfaces, won't degrade in harsh sunlight, and holds its shape season after season.
SoftSide mooring fenders feature double-molded eye ends for extra strength and seamless one-piece construction, while their oval shape and ribbed sides resist rolling against the hull. This detail matters more than it might seem — a fender that rolls out of position during a swell or a wake is worse than no fender at all. Attwood's ribbed profile keeps the fender working where you need it.
Attwood's SoftSide fenders are molded from a lightweight composite and carry a lifetime guarantee against chalking, splitting, and crushing — with no leaking air valves to worry about. Unlike traditional inflatable vinyl fenders that can deflate at the worst moment, Attwood's solid-polymer construction eliminates that failure point entirely.
A Range Built for Every Docking Situation
Attwood offers SoftSide fenders across multiple form factors to suit different boats and docking setups. The lineup includes SoftSide oval mooring fenders, straight-edge dock fenders, corner dock fenders, slide-on post dock fenders, and accessories like mooring fender lock kits, fender hooks in stainless steel, and double-braid fender lines. Whether you're protecting a pontoon alongside a floating dock, guarding a bowrider in a fixed slip, or shielding dock corners from repeated contact, there's a purpose-built Attwood fender for the job.
One-piece construction makes for easy installation, and the oval shape with ribbed sides helps prevent rolling against the hull — a practical design touch that reflects Attwood's engineering-first philosophy.
