Boat fenders are protective devices designed to absorb impact and prevent damage to boats, yachts, or other vessels. Typically made from durable materials like rubber or plastic, boat fenders are attached to the sides or hull of a boat. They serve as a cushioning barrier, absorbing shocks and collisions between the boat and docks, other vessels, or structures. Boat fenders help prevent scratches, dents, and more serious damage, ensuring the safety and preservation of the boat's exterior during docking or mooring.
