About us
Built at the dock.
For the boat and the sea.
happyfender started in Vaxholm by boat owners tired of fender covers all looking the same. We make covers with more personality, built to last – and with materials that reduce both CO₂ emissions and microplastics compared to neoprene.
— History
From Vaxholm, with love for life at sea.
happyfender started with an idea that fender covers could be more than a practical detail. Better looking, more personal and better suited to boats that are actually used.
Instead of oil-based neoprene we use certified Yulex® natural rubber, laminated to recycled polyester. The result is fender covers with a good fit, clear design and materials that reduce both CO₂ emissions and microplastics compared to neoprene.
For the boat. For the sea. For a more sustainable planet.
— Mission
For boat owners who love the sea. And for the sea that makes boating possible.
happyfender develops fender covers with personality, fit and considered materials. With certified Yulex® natural rubber instead of oil-based neoprene, we want to make boating better looking, easier and kinder to the planet.
— Values
Four things we never let go of.
Fender covers shouldn't just protect. They should give the boat its own look.
Two sizes that cover several common fender models. The stretch material follows the shape and helps the cover stay tight in place.
Certified Yulex® natural rubber, recycled polyester and materials that reduce both CO₂ emissions and microplastics compared to neoprene.
Designed in the Stockholm archipelago — for boating where weather, salt and docks are demanding.
