Dark Blue Fender Covers – Soft Protective Sleeves for Boat Fenders (Polyester)

These dark blue fender covers are the perfect accessory to upgrade both the protection and appearance of your boat’s fenders. Woven from a soft yet tough polyester yarn, each cover forms a seamless sleeve (no side seams) that slides over your fender like a sock. The material is specially selected for marine use: it’s non-abrasive (won’t scratch your boat’s paint or varnish) and has a bit of stretch, allowing it to fit snugly without sagging. The rich navy blue color gives a classic nautical look, complementing most hull colors and styling.

By using fender covers, you extend the life of your fenders and keep them – and your boat – looking cleaner. The covers take the dirt and rubbing instead of the fender itself. If they get dirty or salty, simply remove and rinse or toss them in the washing machine; they’ll come out fresh and ready to protect again. This is particularly useful for white fenders which can get grimy – the dark blue cover hides stains and always looks smart.

The interior of the fabric has an anti-abrasive fleece lining, adding an extra gentle touch against your fenders. This prevents any scratching on the fender surface and provides a bit more cushioning. The covers are UV-resistant, so they won’t deteriorate or fade quickly under sunlight. Even after a full season in the sun, you can expect the color to remain deep navy and the fabric to stay intact.

Sizing & Fit: These covers are available in multiple sizes, each tailored to fit specific fender models or size ranges. Thanks to their elasticity, one cover size can often adapt to several similar fender sizes. For example:

• Small cover fits fenders around 10–15 cm in diameter (common for sizes like Polyform F1/G4 or Majoni Star 1)
• Medium cover fits ~15–22 cm diameter fenders (e.g., Polyform F2/F3, Majoni Star 2–3, etc.)
• Large cover fits ~22–30 cm diameter fenders (Polyform F4/F5, F6, etc., or similar 20x70 cm fenders)
• Extra-Large cover fits the biggest fenders and buoys – up to ~85 cm diameter (such as Polyform A6 round buoy or F8 large fender)

Each cover size corresponds to popular fender model codes (e.g., “Fits Polyform A3/A4” or “Fits Majoni 8x45” etc.), making it easy to choose the right one. The covers have a drawstring or elastic ends (depending on model) to secure them tightly at the top and bottom of the fender, so they won’t slip off or bunch up.

Use Cases & Advantages:

• Hull Protection: The primary benefit is preventing the fender from ever scratching or leaving marks on your hull. When boats sway or the fender moves under pressure, the soft fabric rubs gently instead of the rough vinyl. This is especially important for dark-colored hulls or mirror-finish gelcoat which show scuffs easily.
• Noise Reduction: Fender covers can cut down the squeaking sound that bare rubber fenders sometimes make when rubbing against a wet hull or dock. The fabric muffles the noise, which your neighbors in the marina will appreciate on a quiet night.
• Aesthetics: Dark blue covers give a uniform, polished look to your fenders. Many boaters prefer the look of fabric-covered fenders – it adds a touch of luxury and professionalism. It’s a quick way to smarten up older fenders that have discolored; just cover them up and they look brand new.
• Easy Maintenance: Instead of scrubbing dirty fenders by hand, you can clean these covers effortlessly. Have a second set of covers to swap out if needed – one on the fenders while the other set is in the wash. The material dries quickly and resists mold/mildew.
• UV Shield for Fenders: The cover not only protects the boat, but also shields the fender from UV rays. This can prevent the fender’s PVC from yellowing or weakening over time. Thus, your fenders last longer without cracking.
• Personalization: While these covers come in a nautical dark blue, you can easily attach boat labels or numbers to them if desired (for identification in a rack of fenders). Some owners even embroider boat names on fender covers for a personalized touch.

Installation is simple – slide the cover over a deflated or slightly inflated fender, then inflate or top-up the fender for a tight fit (or use the drawstrings to snug it up). The elastic nature ensures a wrinkle-free fit. When you need to adjust or inspect your fender, the cover comes off in seconds.

In summary, these dark blue polyester fender covers are a smart investment to maintain your boat’s glossy finish and enhance the appearance of your docking gear. They are durable enough to withstand the marine environment while being gentle on your boat. Ideal for anyone who cares about their boat’s look and wants to avoid the ugly black streaks and scratches that unprotected fenders can cause.
