For specialty craft, we produce gunwale rails for canoes and rub strakes for inflatable boats. Every profile is tailored to your specifications, with our engineers partnering directly with OEM builders. This ensures your vessel isn’t just built to last—it’s built to lead.

Commercial Dock Bumper Products & Marina Solutions

We extend our expertise to the shoreline. Barbour Marine offers dock bumpers made with UV-resistant compounds, available in P-bumper, D-bumper, and extra-large urethane styles. These provide top-lip or full-side protection, ensuring docks withstand sun, salt, and impact. We also offer corner protection and heavy-duty bumpers for floating docks, providing long-lasting safety and durability for marinas and waterfronts.

Bunk Profiles for Trailers, Lifts, and Storage

Protecting your hull during transport is vital. Barbour Marine provides bunk profiles in standard sizes—like 2×4, 2×6, and 2×8—or custom configurations. We’ve seen the industry move away from abrasive carpet bunks. Instead, our plastic profiles—whether MDPE for high-slip loading, TPV for secure grip, or flexible PVC for versatility—provide smoother, easier maintenance and better hull protection for trailers, lifts, and boat storage systems.
