Protect Your Dock and Boat with Aeré Marine Fenders from Fisheries Supply
Fisheries Supply carries a broad selection of Aeré marine fenders designed to reduce impact damage between boats, docks, and pilings. Aeré inflatable fenders provide full-surface contact, spreading loads evenly to help protect hulls and dock structures.
What To Know
- Inflatable design provides full impact protection
- Deflates for compact, space-saving storage
- Heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric construction resists abrasion and UV exposure
- Suitable for powerboats, sailboats, and large vessels
These fenders can be deflated when not in use, making them easier to stow than rigid alternatives. Built from thick, heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric with multi-layered welded and hand-glued seams, Aeré fenders are designed to resist abrasion, intense sunlight exposure, and chemical contact for extended service life in demanding marine environments.
Why Choose Aeré Inflatable Fenders?
Aeré inflatable fenders are known for their heavy-duty construction and dependable performance. Each fender features an airtight single-wall design utilizing high-tensile fabric with reinforced attachment points engineered to handle repeated loading without failure. Their design makes them suitable for a wide range of docking and mooring scenarios, including both recreational and commercial applications.
- Transom fenders — protect the stern during Mediterranean-style docking
- Bow fenders — cushion the forward sections of the hull
- Heavy-duty fenders — support larger vessels and high-impact conditions
Range of Aeré Fenders
Fisheries Supply stocks a full range of Aeré fender sizes and styles to support different vessel types and docking configurations. Options are available for everything from small recreational boats to large yachts and commercial vessels.
- Inflatable boat fenders — quick to inflate and deflate for compact storage
- Heavy-duty inflatable fenders — built for harsh marine environments
- Piling fenders — absorb impacts against dock pilings
- Beach rollers — assist with moving tenders and personal watercraft above the tide line
Additional Protection with Aeré Fender Covers
For added chafe protection, UV-resistant loop-knit acrylic fender covers are available. These breathable covers help protect the hull's finish from abrasion and prevent salt crystal buildup in high-contact areas.
Fisheries Supply also carries a Bravo electric air pump, designed to simplify inflation and deflation of Aeré inflatable fenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size Aeré fender is right for my boat?
Fender size should be selected based on boat length, displacement, and docking conditions. Aeré provides a sizing guide that matches specific fender dimensions to vessel type and length to ensure adequate energy absorption.
How durable are Aeré inflatable fenders compared to traditional fenders?
Aeré fenders use high-denier polyester base fabric coated with heavy-duty PVC, combined with reinforced seams and attachment points. This construction allows them to absorb heavy impact loads that would collapse or permanently deform conventional molded vinyl fenders.
Can Aeré fenders be used on both powerboats and sailboats?
Yes. Aeré inflatable fenders are used on powerboats and sailboats ranging from approximately 17 feet to superyachts over 500 feet in length.
How should Aeré inflatable fenders be inflated?
Aeré fenders are typically inflated to a recommended internal operating pressure of 1 psi using a suitable air pump. Internal pressure should be monitored and adjusted as ambient temperatures change, since heat increases firmness and cooler conditions reduce pressure.
Can Aeré inflatable fenders be repaired if damaged?
Yes, minor punctures and abrasions can be repaired using standard PVC adhesives (such as MEK-based formulas) and compatible PVC patch materials. Aeré also offers professional factory repair services and warranty support.
How should Aeré fenders be stored when not in use?
When deflated, Aeré fenders roll up tightly and store in significantly less space than rigid fenders, minimizing storage bulk onboard. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to deploy, handle, and stow in lazarettes or deck lockers.
