Our patented, closed-cell foam is ultra-durable, non-marking, and available in five color options… so you get long-lasting protection with a clean, refined look that fits your boat’s style.
Why we made SENTRY
Let’s be honest: traditional “sausage” fenders weren’t built for modern boats. They roll, they shift, and they’re hard to position on newer hull shapes.
Cylindrical fenders just haven’t adapted to meet the needs of boaters today. Sport boats no longer have flat sides, handrails, and high-waisted rub rails – which makes old-school fenders a poor fit. We designed SENTRY Boat Fenders as the answer to this dilemma. It protects where other fenders don’t, looks better doing it, and stays put without the hassle.
