Pontoon Fender
Boat Fender Guide
Find the Right Fender for Your Boat
The right boat fender depends on three things: the boat you have, how you use it, and where you need protection. A surf boat, a pontoon, a center console, and a cruiser all need something different — and the wrong fender is almost as useless as none at all. MISSION makes foam and inflatable fenders — pendant and flat, boat-mounted and dock-mounted — built for every boat type, hull geometry, and situation on the water.

MAVEN
10" x 30" // PATENTED XL EXTRALIGHT® FOAM
Fast on. Fast off. Finally the right fit for a pontoon.
MAVEN hooks down on your rub rail and at the top railing in seconds. Secured with tension from both points, the fender stays put and it won't shift at the dock on you.
Why we made it:
Pontoon owners were driving with their fenders flopping around underway — and honestly, who could blame them. Getting a traditional fender to the right height on a pontoon rail takes long enough that once it's right, you just leave it. MAVEN was built to fix that. Hook the bottom onto the rub rail, drop the top hook over the perimeter railing, cinch down — done. Fast enough on and off that there's no reason to leave it deployed while you're running.
Who it's made for:
Pontoon and tri-toon owners who want real protection at the dock without the setup hassle — and want to actually take their fenders off before they leave the slip.
Works best on:
- Pontoon boats and tri-toons with standard tube perimeter railing - 1 ¼" or 1 ½" (fits the large majority of pontoons on the water)
- Boats with a lip or gap just below the rub rail where the lower hook can tuck up into
If your boat has both of those, MAVEN works like a dream. Some newer pontoons with curved fascia fittings or fiberglass walls in place of standard railings may not be compatible - if that's you, CANNON is worth a look. Watch: MAVEN vs. CANNON
How it attaches:
Lean over the side and hook the lower hook onto the lip just below the rub rail. Drop the upper hook over the perimeter railing and cinch down. Tension from both points holds MAVEN flat against the toon — broad coverage, no rolling, no shifting. Off just as fast when you're ready to head out. Store fenders under the seats or in a stowage bay while underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about MAVEN pontoon fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
How do I know if MAVEN is compatible with my pontoon?
MAVEN requires two things: a standard perimeter railing in 1¼" or 1½" sizing — MAVEN ships with both hooks to fit either — and a lip or gap just below the rub rail where the lower hook can tuck up into. The large majority of pontoons on the water today have both. Where MAVEN doesn't work is on some unconventional or unique designs with curved fascia fittings or fiberglass walls in place of standard tube railing — if that's your pontoon boat, CANNON is worth a look.
Does MAVEN need to be removed when underway?
Yes — and honestly that's the whole point. MAVEN was designed to come off so fast that there's no reason to leave it on while you're running. The two-point attachment — lower hook on the rub rail, upper hook over the perimeter railing — creates tension that holds MAVEN exactly in position at the dock and prevents it from pinching up out of the way the way pendant fenders can. That same system makes removal effortless: hook off the top railing, unhook from the rub rail, done. Store fenders under the seats or in a stowage bay while underway.
How many MAVEN fenders do I need?
MAVEN is sold in pairs. Most pontoon owners start with two — some opt for four, either for the option to cover both sides at once, or to add a third/fourth fender at a busier dock where extra protection makes sense.
Does MAVEN work with Phender Pro™?
No — MAVEN is not compatible with Phender Pro. MAVEN's dedicated two-point attachment system — lower hook on the rub rail, upper hook over the perimeter railing — is what makes it work. If you want to use Phender Pro with your fenders, CANNON is the pontoon appropriate MISSION fender built for a proprietary attachment system such as Phender Pro.

Pendant Fender
CANNON
8" x 24" // PATENTED XL EXTRALIGHT® FOAM
The round fender. Without the round fender problems.
Built from a premium non-marking foam, CANNON never deflates, never marks your hull, and holds its position. DREADKNOT technology means no more wrestling with your line — set your height in seconds and you're done.
Why we made it:
Round pendant fenders are what most boaters have used their whole lives, but they've stayed the same for decades. For years, we invented around their shortcomings — e.g., SENTRY, MAVEN, DYMON — instead of solving them head on. But pendants aren't wrong for every boat. Bay boats, bigger vessels with ample freeboard, and boaters who like to roll their fender at the dock — those are solid reasons to have a pendant on board. CANNON is our take on the classic pendant
Who it's made for:
For boaters with the freeboard to make a pendant-style fender work — bay boats, bigger center consoles, pontoons (where our MAVEN Pontoon Fender doesn’t work perfectly), or anywhere you've got at least 30 inches of vertical freeboard and want to hang protection.
Works best on:
- Higher rub rail profiles (30+ inches of freeboard)
- Runabouts and center consoles boats (typically under ~30–32 ft)
- Pontoon Boats (consider MAVEN Watch and Compare)
- Boats with an integrated fender attachment system like Phender Pro™
- Routine docking and mixed-use days
How it attaches:
Loop the soft-shackle over a cleat or through a rail, slide the DREADKNOT lock to set your height (no knots required), Phender Pro compatible out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about CANNON boat fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What is DREADKNOT and how does it work?
Every CANNON fender comes with an integrated DREADKNOT Fender Line attached at the top. Built into that line is the Slide Lock — a tension-based system that lets you adjust fender height with a simple slide up or down. It's always locked in place while remaining easy to reposition, so you never need to tie a clove hitch or any knot to secure your fender. At the end of the line is a soft shackle — loop it around any cleat or attachment point, close the button knot, and it's secure. No hardware to break. Just smart, simple tension and loop technology that's been reliable for generations. Already have fenders you love? MISSION also sells DREADKNOT Fender Lines separately — a simple way to bring the same knot-free adjustment to any fender in your kit.
What's the difference between CANNON and a traditional pendant fender?
Traditional pendant fenders are made from inflatable PVC — they mark gelcoat, rely on needle valves that eventually fail, and require knots for every height adjustment. CANNON is built from MISSION's premium closed-cell foam, so it never deflates, never marks your hull, and adjusts height in seconds with DREADKNOT. Same classic round pendant shape. Fundamentally better construction.
Does CANNON work on a pontoon boat?
Yes — particularly for pontoons where MAVEN isn't compatible, CANNON is an excellent solution. Because Pontoons have high railings and clear attachment points, it gives CANNON the clearance it needs to hang and roll naturally at the dock. If your pontoon has standard tube perimeter railing and a lip below the rub rail, MAVEN was purpose-built for that application. Watch: MAVEN vs. CANNON video. But if you prefer to roll your fenders or want a more classic hanging pendant CANNON is a great choice that provides comparable protections for Pontoons.
Is CANNON compatible with Phender Pro?
Yes. Remove the soft shackle from the end of the DREADKNOT Fender Line and attach the Phender Pro hardware directly to the remaining loop. DREADKNOT handles height adjustment from there — no additional hardware or modification required.

Boat Fender
SENTRY
9" x 28" // PATENTED XL EXTRALIGHT® FOAM
The fender that actually fits modern surf and sport boats.
SENTRY's contoured profile protects above and below the rub rail — where standard fenders can't reach. Press, slide, lock with LockCAM™, and you're done. Frustration-free docking for boats that never had a fender built for them.
Why we made it:
Modern surf and sport boats changed everything — lower rub rails, more aggressive hull shapes, less clearance. The fenders didn't keep up. Traditional pendants never worked well on these hulls, and everything else was just a workaround. SENTRY was built to actually fit: protection above and below the rub rail, foam that doesn't mark, and an attachment system designed for how these boats are actually used. The boats evolved. Our fenders needed to, too.
Who it's made for:
Modern sport and surf boat owners running rigs up to about 26 ft who've been making do with fenders that weren't built for their hull — and know it. Running something bigger? Consider DYMON for the added coverage a larger hull may need.
Works best on:
- Surf and wake boats
- Sport boats and runabouts with lower rub rail profiles
- Hulls where a pendant-style fender can't get proper position
- Day docking and routine slip use
- Pilings and restaurant docks — SENTRY's curved backside hugs a piling naturally. Cinch the straps and it holds position for quick stops where you're tying up to whatever's there.
- Any surf or sport boat where standard fenders roll out of position, leave marks, or simply never looked right hanging off the hull. SENTRY is the first fender actually shaped for modern watercraft.
How it attaches:
SENTRY uses LockCAM™ — the cam is always locked, so there's no knot tying and no extra steps. Press the lever, slide the strap to where you want it, release. Done. The contoured shape does the rest, positioning itself naturally against the hull.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about SENTRY 2.0 boat fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
How does LockCAM™ work?
LockCAM is SENTRY's integrated attachment and height adjustment system. Unlike a traditional fender line, SENTRY uses a flat strap — it won't sour or degrade over time and slides smoothly through the LockCAM. The cam is always in the locked position, so there's no separate locking step. Press the lever down, slide the strap to where you need it, release — the cam re-engages and SENTRY holds position without a knot. To cinch the fender tight against the hull, pull both straps the way you would tighten a backpack and let go.
What is the hole at the top of SENTRY for?
That opening is designed to give you access to your cleat while SENTRY is deployed. Pass a dock line directly through the hole and you can still reach and use the cleat without removing or repositioning the fender. It's a small detail that makes a real difference when you're managing lines at a busy dock.
Can SENTRY attach to a piling?
Yes — and it's one of SENTRY's most useful features. The curved backside hugs a piling naturally. Cinch the straps around it and SENTRY holds position, making it ideal for quick stops at restaurant docks or anywhere you're tying up to whatever's available.
SENTRY can also attach to railings or any fixed point you can't drop a loop over. Let out all of SENTRY's strap to create one large loop, feed that loop around the railing or through whatever opening you're working with, then drop the fender body through the loop itself. Now that the strap is attached you can adjust and tighten from there like normal. Once you do it once it's completely intuitive.
How many SENTRY fenders do I need for my boat?
SENTRY is sold in pairs — two is the typical setup for most boats. Some boaters keep four on board so they can have coverage on both sides if needed, or an extra for tricky dock situations. If your boat is approaching 24 ft or larger, consider DYMON for the added coverage a bigger hull needs.

PWC Fender
RONIN
6" x 18" // PATENTED XL EXTRALIGHT® FOAM
The first fender actually built for a jet ski.
RONIN's hooked profile fits the perimeter of all major PWCs — no drilling, no rigging, no making do with gear that wasn't designed for this hull. Compact enough to nest and store right on the PWC, where storage space is already at a premium.
Why we made it:
PWC owners had two options: nothing, or aftermarket products that required drilling into the hull. Neither was acceptable. RONIN was built to give personal watercraft owners real fender protection without permanent modifications — a purpose-built shape that fits, a strap that attaches anywhere, and a footprint small enough to actually live on the PWC.
Who it's made for:
PWC owners who've been making do with nothing, improvising with boat fenders that don't fit, or avoiding dock protection altogether because nothing out there was built for their hull.
Works best on:
- All major PWC models — Sea-Doos, Waverunners, Jet Skis
- RONIN's hooked shape fits naturally around the PWC hull perimeter — no drilling, no permanent hardware
- Attaches via an integrated bungee strap that cinches anywhere along the hull, or wrap it twice around the handlebars for a secure hold
- Fenders nest together for compact storage — designed to fit inside the limited storage that comes standard on most PWCs
- Built from MISSION’s patented foam — lightweight, non-marking, and built to last well beyond what cheap PWC fender alternatives offer
How it attaches:
Run the integrated strap around the hull or wrap it twice around the handlebars — the bungee provides natural tension that holds RONIN in place without additional hardware. Position it wherever you need protection and latch it in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about RONIN PWC fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What PWC models does RONIN fit?
RONIN is designed to fit all major PWC models — Sea-Doo™, Waverunner™, and JetSki™. RONIN's hooked profile fits naturally around the perimeter of a PWC hull, and the integrated bungee strap cinches to any attachment point on your PWC — grab handles, handlebars, or whatever works best for your specific model.
Does RONIN require any drilling or permanent installation?
No — and that was the whole reason MISSION built it. Before RONIN, the only real PWC specific fender options required drilling into the hull for permanent hardware. RONIN's foam shape combined with the integrated bungee strap makes attachment easy and intuitive without any permanent modifications or hardware. No drilling, just fast clean attachment.
Can RONIN be used on a small boat instead of a PWC?
RONIN was purpose-built for PWC hull geometry, so it won't position or perform the same way on a traditional boat hull. For small boats, ICON is a more versatile option — multiple attachment configurations, works on the boat or the dock, and built from the same MISSION patented foam.
How does RONIN store on the PWC?
RONIN fenders are designed to nest together, which keeps the footprint small enough to fit inside most storage compartments that come standard on most PWCs. Storage space on a jet ski is tight — that nesting shape of RONIN wasn't an accident.

Multi-Fender
ICON
18" x 7" x 4.5" // PATENTED XL EXTRALIGHT® FOAM
The fender that builds to fit any situation.
Every dock is different. Every boat seems to have that one spot that standard fenders don't cover cleanly. ICON is the building block that fills those gaps — horizontal, vertical, strung together along the dock, draped over the hull — however the situation calls for it.
Why we made it:
No two dock setups are exactly the same, and no single fender shape solves every situation. ICON started with that frustration — the sense that you never quite had exactly what you needed for the spot in front of you. Built from MISSION’s patented foam with attachment points at multiple positions and a pyramid profile that won't roll, ICON is the piece that's hard to explain until it clicks. Once it does, you'll wonder why you didn't have a few on board sooner.
Who it's made for:
Boaters who've looked at a dock, a piling, or a low-slung hull and realized nothing in their fender kit was going to work cleanly. Bass boat and fishing boat owners in particular — ICON in the horizontal orientation solves coverage on ultra-low rub rails where pendants simply can't hang low enough.
Works best on:
- Bass boats and low-profile fishing boats — hang ICON horizontally to get coverage where pendant fenders can't reach
- Dock corners, pilings, and irregular dock setups where standard fender shapes don't fit
- Use a single midpoint attachment and ICON drapes over the hull, covering above and below the rub rail at the same time
- String multiples together horizontally along a dock face for continuous coverage
- Mix orientations — vertical and horizontal together — for corners, pontoons, and unique contact zones
- The pyramid profile won't roll and makes them easy to stack and store
How it attaches:
ICON has attachment points across the body — hang it from the top, attach from a midpoint so it drapes, run a line through for horizontal dock coverage, or string multiples together. It’s like the LEGO of fenders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about ICON fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What is the pyramid shape and hole pattern for?
The pyramid shape serves two purposes: it prevents ICON from rolling regardless of orientation — horizontal, vertical, or draped over a hull — and it creates a naturally stackable profile that stores cleanly when you have multiples on board. The holes throughout the body are attachment points. Eight in total, positioned on the sides and through the face of the fender so you can run a line through virtually any configuration — top mount, midpoint drape, horizontal, daisy chain, line along dock, dock pole corners — it’s essentially your lego and you’re not locked into one setup.
Can ICON be used as a dock fender?
Yes — and it's one of ICON's strongest use cases. Mount it at a dock corner, along a piling, or horizontally along a dock face for continuous coverage. It works on the boat side and the dock side equally well, which is what makes it the right answer for irregular setups where a standard fender shape just doesn't fit.
How many ways can ICON be attached?
More than any other fender MISSION makes. And customers who love the product continue to find more. Hang it vertically from the top like a traditional fender, attach from a midpoint so it drapes over the hull covering above and below the rub rail, run a line through horizontally along a dock face, wrap it around a piling, or string multiples together. The eight attachment points across the body mean the configuration changes to fit the situation.
How many ICON fenders do I need?
It depends entirely on what you're solving for. One handles a specific problem spot — a dock corner, a low rub rail zone, a piling. Two or three strung together cover a longer section of dock face. Most boaters who discover ICON end up keeping several because once you understand how they configure, you find new uses for them. Start with two and go from there.

Inflatable Tie-Up Bumper
TITAN
10-FT x 18" | 10-FT x 24" // REINFORCED VINYL
One continuous barrier. No gaps, no guesswork, no babysitting the boats.
Busy tie-ups are chaotic. TITAN inflates in minutes and runs 10 feet of continuous coverage along your side — so you can stop watching the boats and get back to the reason you're there.
Why we made it:
Crowded sandbars and raft-ups mean one eye on the conversation and one eye on the boats — constant fender placement anxiety killing the vibe. We wanted to eliminate that worry in one move. Inflate TITAN between the boats, tie off the D-rings at either end, done. Two minutes of setup buys you the rest of the afternoon.
Who it's made for:
Boaters who tie up regularly — sandbars, raft-ups — and are tired of managing fender placement with other boaters while simultaneously trying to actually enjoy being on the water. If you tie up, this is a must-have.
Works best on:
Each TITAN is 10 feet long. It works best running at the transom and forward along the hull side.
- 18" diameter x 10’ TITAN for boats up to about 27 ft
- 24" diameter x 10’ TITAN for larger boats, or boats with deeper V hulls, or anyone that simply wants max offset
- D-rings on either end tie off simply to the boat — no complicated rigging
- Packs into an included mesh bag and stores under the seat
How it attaches:
Inflate to firmness, position starting at the transom and run forward along the hull side, tie the D-rings at either end to the boat. Two minutes from mesh bag to full coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about TITAN Inflatable Tie-Up Bumper fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What's the difference between the 18" and 24" diameter?
Both TITAN options are 10 feet long, so the difference is purely diameter. The 18" diameter is the right call for most boats and setups — it provides substantial coverage and offset for boats up to about 27 ft. The 24" diameter is built for larger boats, deeper V hulls that need more distance between hulls, or anyone who simply wants maximum offset and peace of mind at the raft-up.
How do I attach TITAN to my boat?
TITAN has a D-ring at each end. Once inflated, position it along the hull side with one end at the transom and run it forward from there — this puts coverage where contact is most likely during a tie-up. Tie the D-rings off to the boat at either end. No complicated rigging — just two attachment points and you're done. No need to suspend TITAN off the water — it works best resting lightly on the surface, letting it float naturally in position between the boats.
How long does it take to inflate TITAN?
Fast. A small electric tube pump — the kind most boaters already have on board — inflates the 18" TITAN in roughly 1 minute 45 seconds. The 24" takes a little longer but not much. Don't have a pump? MISSION sells compatible electric pumps. Deflation is just as fast, so packing TITAN back into its mesh bag at the end of the day adds nothing to your day. And honestly — any time spent setting up TITAN is time you'd otherwise spend scrambling with individual fenders as boats come and go. Two minutes of setup buys you the rest of the afternoon.
Can TITAN be used as a permanent dock bumper?
No — TITAN is designed for boat-to-boat protection during tie-ups and raft-ups, not permanent dock installation. For season-long dock protection, TITAN Dock is purpose-built for that application: heavier duty construction, flexible mounting options, and designed to live at the dock.

INFLATABLE DOCK BUMPER
TITAN DOCK
3-FT | 10FT | 18-FT | 26-FT | 34-FT // MULTI-LAYER DROP-STITCH
Heavy-duty dock protection.
Double-and-triple-layered vinyl built to take a season's worth of impacts without complaint. Mount it once at the start of the season and TITAN DOCK just sits there doing its job — no deploying, no remembering, no scrambling when guests are coming and going.
Why we made it:
Customers kept asking for a dock-side version of TITAN — something that didn't move with the boat, but lived permanently at the slip. So, we built it heavier duty and made the attachment flexible enough for the fact that no two docks are set up the same way. The result is a barrier substantial enough to take a beating, season after season, on whatever dock you've got.
Who it's made for:
Anyone with a permanent slip or home dock — especially high-traffic spots where guests are coming and going and you want the protection already in place before anyone gets there.
Works best on:
- Any fixed dock — boards, pilings, sea walls, dock poles
- Mounting loops spaced 24" on center, top and bottom, run the full length of the back
- Comes with nylon straps that feed through the loops and cinch to whatever your dock has — boards, poles, pilings — or rig it with line if you prefer
- Available in 3 ft, 10 ft, 18 ft, 26 ft, and 34 ft lengths — the 3 ft works as a small fix for one specific spot, the rest scale up to cover a slip or a full dock face
- D-rings double as hang points during setup or for hanging off from a sea wall
How it attaches:
loops match your dock and secure to boards, pilings, or poles. D-rings double as hang points, useful for suspending the bumper and taking the weight off while you tighten straps into place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about TITAN DOCK Inflatable Dock Bumper fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
How do I choose the right length TITAN DOCK for my slip?
Start by thinking about what you're actually protecting. The transom section of your boat is where coverage matters most — and you don't need to line your entire dock edge to get great protection. For a 22 ft boat, a 10 ft or 18 ft TITAN DOCK covers the critical zone well. Three 3 ft sections spaced strategically can give you 10–13 ft of coverage with flexibility in placement. Longer sections make sense for high-traffic docks where guests are coming and going and you don't want to designate an exact landing spot — more coverage means less precision required. There's no single right answer: first consider what space you have, then what you're protecting, then how much coverage gives you peace of mind. Sections can always be combined and added to over time.
Does TITAN DOCK come with straps?
Yes — TITAN DOCK includes plenty of nylon straps for installation. The mounting loops run the full length of the back, spaced 24" apart top and bottom, and the included straps feed through whichever loops align with your dock's boards, pilings, or poles. You won't use every loop — just the ones that match your specific setup. Prefer to use traditional dock line instead? That works just as well — feed it through the loops the same way you would the included straps.
Can TITAN DOCK be used as a boat-side bumper like TITAN?
Technically yes — and we've seen it done on larger houseboats with great results. There's no reason TITAN DOCK can't provide boat-side coverage. That said, TITAN DOCK's multi-layer construction makes it thicker and heavier than TITAN, which means it doesn't fold down and store as easily. If you want boat-side bumper coverage you can deploy and stow on the move, TITAN is the better tool for that job. TITAN DOCK is built to stay put.
What if my dock has an unusual configuration?
TITAN DOCK was designed with exactly that in mind — because no two docks seem to ever be set up the exact same way. The mounting loops spaced 24" apart top and bottom give you multiple attachment points to work with, and the included nylon straps are flexible enough to wrap around pilings, feed through dock boards or slats, or tie off to poles. D-rings on top add further flexibility for seawall mounting. Early in the process, identify which loops you actually want to use and pre-feed the straps through them before getting in the water — a little planning on the dock above goes a long way. Pro tip: use a friend or the D-rings and a line to hoist TITAN DOCK up where you plan to install it, taking the weight off while you secure and level it. Makes the whole installation significantly easier.

Cruiser & Yacht Fender
BRIGADE PENDANT
8" x 24"
No more "good enough" for boats that are anything but.
Layered, marine-grade construction. A valve system that doesn't leak. Attachment points built to actually hold. Deflates fast and stows flat, so it's not eating into space you'd rather use for gear. BRIGADE Pendant is what fender protection should have looked like on a cruiser or yacht all along.
Why we made it:
The fenders protecting most express cruisers and motor yachts come with real compromises — they take up valuable onboard storage, leave marks after a few seasons in the sun, and rely on needle valves that wear out and leak air over time. Even the attachment points tend to be the first thing to fail under real load. BRIGADE was built to fix all of it: layered PVC-coated nylon that holds shape and air, a high-pressure valve system that doesn't quit, and triple-reinforced eyelets engineered for the demands of a larger boat.
Who it's made for:
Cruiser and yacht owners who've been running fenders that are technically there but quietly failing them — marking the hull, losing air, or tearing loose at the worst time. They want real, large-scale protection without giving up flexibility — the option to deflate and reclaim that space when the fender's not in use.
Works best on:
- Cruisers and express boats over 27 ft
- Marina slips
- Available in 12" x 32" and 15" x 38" — big and bigger offset depending on your boat
- Attachment points at each end let you hang vertical or horizontal depending on the spot
- Broad face contact spreads force across a wider area for better protection and offset
- Built-in pressure release valve auto-regulates in high heat, preventing over-inflation
- Pairs with DREADKNOT Fender Lines and integrated Slide-Lock Capsules for height adjustment without retying
- Deflates fast and stows flat, reclaiming onboard storage that bulky traditional fenders eat up
How it attaches:
Pendant-style — hangs from a cleat or deck rail using the triple-reinforced eyelets built to handle the strain larger boats put on attachment points. Attachment points at both ends mean you can hang it vertical or horizontal depending on the spot. Use a standard fender line, or pair with DREADKNOT Fender Lines and Slide-Lock Capsules for height adjustment without retying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about BRIGADE PENDANT Inflatable Fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What's the difference between BRIGADE Pendant and a standard inflatable fender?
Standard inflatable fenders are built to a price point — thin PVC, needle valves that wear out, and attachment points that are often the first thing to fail under load. BRIGADE Pendant is built to our MISSION standard. Layered PVC-coated nylon construction holds shape and air under heavy load and through multiple seasons. The high-pressure valve system is fast to inflate and more reliable. Triple-reinforced eyelets are engineered specifically for the strain larger boats put on attachment points. But what sets BRIGADE apart beyond construction is the combination of large serious protection with the option to deflate — on boats where onboard storage is everything, that flexibility matters. And with sizing options to dial in the right offset for your specific boat, BRIGADE gives you custom protection rather than a one-size compromise.
Does BRIGADE Pendant work with DREADKNOT Fender Lines?
Yes — BRIGADE Pendant pairs beautifully with MISSION's DREADKNOT Fender Lines, sold separately. Attach the DREADKNOT Fender Line to the eyelet and the integrated Slide-Lock capsule handles height adjustment with a simple slide — no retying every time you dock somewhere new. BRIGADE Pendant's construction and DREADKNOT's knot-free adjustability are a natural pairing: a better-built inflatable fender with best-in-class height adjustment to match.
Can BRIGADE Pendant be hung vertically and horizontally?
Yes — attachment points at each end give you the flexibility to hang BRIGADE Pendant vertically like a traditional pendant fender or horizontally for flat coverage against a dock face or hull section. The orientation that works best depends on your specific docking situation and where you need protection most.
How long does BRIGADE Pendant hold air?
BRIGADE Pendant is built to hold air season after season, inflation after deflation. The high-pressure valve system replaces the fragile needle valves that standard inflatable fenders rely on — the kind that wear out, leak slowly, and leave you with a flat fender when you need it most. You can absolutely leave BRIGADE Pendant inflated and ready for deployment all season. That said, one of the real advantages of an inflatable is the option to deflate and reclaim onboard storage space when it suits you — it deflates fast and stows flat in minutes.

Large Flat Fender
BRIGADE PAD
8" x 24"
Broad, flat coverage built to stay exactly where you put it.
BRIGADE Pad spreads protection across a wide, flat face — no rolling, no shifting, just steady coverage for the spots that need it most. Built with the same layered, marine-grade construction as BRIGADE Pendant. Available in 36" and 54" lengths.
Why we made it:
Some docking spots call for surface area more than anything else — a swim platform, a tight gap between windows, a wide flat hull section. BRIGADE Pad was built specifically for that kind of coverage: a flat, roll-resistant profile that holds position and protects a broad zone at once, built to the same standard as our BRIGADE Pendants.
Who it's made for:
Cruiser and yacht owners who want precise, no-roll protection for a specific spot — a swim platform, a tight gap, anywhere broad flat coverage matters more than a single point of contact.
Works best on:
- Large boats with flat hull sections
- Dock corners, bows, transom tie-ups, and at swim platforms
- 24" x 36" or 24" x 54" — choose the length that matches the spot
- Triple-reinforced eyelets, same demands-of-a-large-boat construction as BRIGADE Pendant
- Attachment points at each end let you hang vertical or horizontal depending on the spot — pairs naturally with BRIGADE Pendant when a boat needs both broad and round coverage
How it attaches:
Triple-reinforced eyelets at each end let you hang BRIGADE Pad vertical or horizontal depending on the spot. Same high-pressure valve system as the Pendant — deflates fast and stows flat when it's not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about BRIGADE PAD Inflatable Fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What's the difference between BRIGADE Pad and BRIGADE Pendant?
Same heavy-duty construction — layered PVC-coated nylon, triple-reinforced eyelets, high-pressure valve system — different shape for different jobs. BRIGADE Pendant is a traditional pendant-style fender that hangs and provides round coverage. BRIGADE Pad is wide and flat, built for situations where surface area matters more than offset — a swim platform, a tight gap between windows, a broad hull section where a round fender creates a single point of contact instead of spreading the load. If you need both, they work together as a complete protection system.
What situations is BRIGADE Pad best for?
Anywhere a round fender doesn't give you the right sort of coverage. Swim platforms, gaps between windows, transom tie-ups, dock corners, and wide flat hull sections are all situations where BRIGADE Pad does what a pendant fender can't — spread protection across a broad, flat face instead of concentrating it at one point. It's also a natural complement to BRIGADE Pendant on larger boats where different zones of the hull call for different types of coverage.
Can BRIGADE Pad be used alongside BRIGADE Pendant?
Yes — and that's exactly how most larger boat owners use it. BRIGADE Pendant handles the standard docking coverage along the hull side. BRIGADE Pad fills in the specific spots where a round fender doesn't fit or doesn't cover enough surface area. Together they give you complete, custom protection across every zone of the boat.
Can BRIGADE Pad be hung vertically and horizontally?
Yes — attachment points at each end give you the flexibility to hang BRIGADE Pad in whichever orientation fits the spot. Vertical for taller coverage along the hull, horizontal for wide flat surfaces or dock face coverage. The flat profile stays put and won't roll regardless of orientation.

Large Runabout Fender
DYMON
8" x 24"
More boat. More fender.
As runabouts get bigger, standard fenders stop keeping up. DYMON closes that gap — BRIGADE-level construction in a shape built to hang and hug the hull the way SENTRY does, just sized for boats that have outgrown it.
Why we made it:
There's a real gap between standard runabout fenders and full cruiser-scale protection. Boat styling moved on too — tall grab rails have largely disappeared, rub rail height isn't consistent boat to boat, and clean modern topsides leave fewer places to actually tie off. A fender that depends on a top rail doesn't always have one to depend on anymore. DYMON solves that by building the attachment into the fender itself: the same heavy-duty, multi-layer construction and storage flexibility as BRIGADE, shaped and mounted to hang the way SENTRY does — just scaled up for a bigger boat.
Who it's made for:
Owners of larger runabouts and bowriders, 25–35 ft, who've found standard fenders either too small to do the job or are looking at cruiser-scale fenders that are more than they need. If SENTRY's too small for your boat, DYMON is the next step up.
Works best on:
- Runabouts and bowriders, 25–35 ft
- Modern hulls with fewer traditional tie-off points
- Available in 4 colors to match the look of your boat
- Mid-fender, side-mounted attachment keeps DYMON hugging the hull instead of twisting or swinging away from it
- DREADKNOT Fender Line technology built directly into the fender — slide the lock to set your height, with deflate-and-stow flexibility when you want the storage space back
How it attaches:
DYMON's attachment isn't top-mounted like a pendant fender — DREADKNOT Fender Line technology is integrated directly into the fender, positioned mid-fender on the side. Slide the lock to where you need it and DYMON hangs in place, hugging the hull rather than swinging away from it, so you get protection above and below the rub rail right where it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about DYMON Inflatable Fender fit, sizing, mounting, and attachment.
What's the difference between DYMON and BRIGADE Pendant?
Both are heavy-duty inflatables built for larger boats — but they solve different problems. BRIGADE Pendant is a traditional pendant-style fender built ideally for larger cruisers and yachts hanging from a cleat or rail and providing large-scale offset protection. DYMON is built for the gap between a standard runabout fender and full cruiser-scale protection — boats in the 25–35 ft range that have outgrown standard fenders but don't need the scale of BRIGADE. DYMON also attaches differently: mid-fender on the side rather than from the top, which lets it hug the hull the way SENTRY does rather than hanging straight down like a pendant.
How does DYMON attach to the boat?
DYMON has side-mounted attachment points positioned mid-fender rather than at the top. DREADKNOT Fender Line technology is built directly into the fender — slide the lock to your desired position and the fender holds. The mid-fender attachment is what keeps DYMON hugging the hull rather than swinging away from it, giving you protection above and below the rub rail right where it matters most. DYMON's broad profile adds to that stability — it won't roll or pinch out of the way the way a round fender can, so protection stays exactly where you place it.
Does DYMON work with DREADKNOT?
Yes — and it's built right in. DYMON has DREADKNOT Fender Line technology integrated directly into the fender itself, not a separate line you purchase and attach. Slide the lock to set your position and you're done.
Why is DYMON's attachment point on the side instead of the top?
It comes down to the geometry of modern larger boats. There's a category of watercraft today that looks like a scaled-up sport boat — bigger hull, more freeboard, but the same need for precise protection right at the rub rail, above and below. A traditional top-mounted pendant fender freely hanging doesn't deliver that kind of targeted coverage on these hulls. DYMON's side-mounted mid-fender attachment was designed specifically for this: it keeps the fender positioned right where the hull needs it most rather than hanging freely and missing the mark. For boats in that gap between a standard runabout fender and full cruiser-scale protection, DYMON's shape and attachment are exactly right.
