BABz came to be from the lack of options out there for boat fenders. They were either too hard, scuffing the boat’s delicate gel coat, too small, not durable enough, didn't last, warped, not easily stored, etc. So we decided, "It's time for a better boat fender" They’ve been dubbed BABz. We wanted these to be made to last and tough enough to take the punishment of a dock or larger boat. To allow for this, these are made from a thick, durable, but soft plastic blend. The handle itself is reenforced with a harder, thicker plastic. The air filler location is also reenforced to eliminate leaks or tearing associated with constant inflating and deflating. Every boater knows storage is a premium. BABz easily deflate and fold down for easy storage leaving room for more important items. BABz are the largest fenders of their kind on the market. These will inflate all the way up to around 24 inches. The thickness of the ball itself allows for different sizes of inflation and firmness for different situations. With smaller, boats, the larger size allows you to put these at the water level when tied up at the cove and not have to worry about hanging them at just the right height. The handle is also designed to hang directly on the cleat. Of course, you can hang these in the traditional style. A plug style has been incorporated for inflation and deflation. This allows you to blow these up with the same 12v air pump you use for other inflatables or with your own lungs. No needles or valves. For now BABz are only available in Black and Gunmetal. But in the future more colors will be offered. It is also important to note the logo is only on one side. If you’d prefer the no logo look, you can simply flip them over. These are the fenders you’ve been waiting for. We know you will love BABz!

Best boat fender period with top notch customer service!!
This is by far the best boat fender out there! The most protection you will find for your boat. They work fantastic, are simple to use, fill up (I used a 12 volt inflator), and deflate for storage. They only take seconds to inflate or deflate. I had a slight issue with one of them, however it did not effect the use or functionality whatsoever. I reached out to the owner Caleb, and he responded back within minutes. The best customer service experience I have every dealt with. I am an extremely happy and satisfied customer.

Worth every penny
Bought some Babz balls a couple weeks ago for our Lake trip this past week. We don’t normally ever tie up anywhere and Having a 19 yr old boat I am not super concerned if I get a nick or something. With saying that I liked how these balls deflate and store real easy. So I picked up a couple.Well we were on the main channel of the lake and the boat stayed in the water tied up to the dock. We got a bunch of big rollers and one afternoon a solid storm rolled through that was throwing some massive waves! BABz Balls saved my boat , these rollers and massive waves from the storm would have trashed my rub rail and my board racks would have hit the dock and gotten jacked up! These Bumpers are a no brainer in my mind now that I have seen them in action. The shear size that they get to is amazing and really do the job well!

I love it on my boat
So far these are great. I have had one holding up a heavy dinghy on my bow for months and it still is in great shape.Great for rafting up two boats and never has left a mark.So far I like them better than the others that cost me three times more cash.I have used these in extreme cold and heat and they hold up great.I did purchase a nice heavy duty small compressor to inflate themThat was another great addition to my boat.Kids can also use these as sturdy jump ball.

These ROCK!
Best bumper ever. The bumper is well made, size is adjustable to provide a perfect fit. Yes, you will need an air pump of some sort, but the benefit is worth it. For boats with limited storage, these will deflate in seconds and take up minimal space. I use a small 12v air pump to inflate them on the boat, I guess the only negative would be if you have no 12v option on the boat but you could easily inflate them with a small hand pump. I truly can't find anything negative about these, their just that good!

Best bumper I’ve found.
Best bumper ever. Plenty of space between boats. My friends will be ordering their own.They seem a little thin but have been pinched and banged around a lot without a problem.It would be nice to have a plug that is easier to remove for deflation but overall good product.Doesn’t mark up the boat.2 of the set of 4 I ordered were few inches larger than the others but seem to work.Kids love to play with them.They remind us of the bouncy balls that have handle at the top that we had as kids.

These are a must for today’s surf boats that have a lot of freeboard.
Work extremely well with my Phender Pro’s and Perfect Bungees. We tied up two surf boats in the middle of the lake with a set of these between us. Rollers everywhere from passing boats and we never had any issues with the boats touching. Exceeded expectations. We keep two inflated and two deflated. Using a small 12v air pump, they inflate in literally seconds. I will only use these on my boat in the future. They deserve the highest rating!

Boat Saver! 5 Stars (Experienced Captain)
Saw these and loved the idea! Got a pair to try out this summer. I was visiting an extremely rough water lake over the Holiday, 4th fo July when I had to bust em out. They worked great, I was really impressed. Worth the effort to inflate. I felt much safer with the BaBz protecting the boat in these rough conditions. Would recommend for anyone in rough or smooth water, these fenders are 5 STARS!!

Great way to protect your boat
Great way to protect your boat. Used next to our houseboat and tied up with another boat and no damage done with big rollers and wind. Planning to buy a 3rd one. Also great if you don’t have a lot of storage as you can deflate when not needed.
