The 12 Days of Boating Christmas
A Holiday Countdown for Smarter, Safer, More Joyful Docking
Boaters may hang stockings at home, but at the dock? We hang bumpers.
This season, we’re celebrating the holidays the only way boat lovers truly can, with a festive twist on the classic “12 Days of Christmas,” rewritten for the captains, lake lovers, marina warriors, and dockside storytellers among us.
Each day highlights one smart, practical way to protect your boat… and your sanity.
Let’s sail into the season.
🎁 Day 1: A Big Bumper for My Boat
Every holiday season starts with a hero gift. For boaters? It’s protection.
A properly inflated, marine-grade inflatable boat bumper is the first and easiest way to prevent hull damage from surprise wakes, drifting docks, or the guy three slips over who definitely parks faster than he should.
Start with one. You’ll never go back.
🎁 Day 2: Two Dock Lines Tied
Double lines. Double safety.
Your bumpers absorb the impact, but your dock lines keep everything in place. Together, they’re the perfect holiday duo, like hot cocoa and marshmallows, or Santa and his cookies.
🎁 Day 3: Three Layers of Strength
Inside every Big Bumper is a multi-layer construction built like an inflatable boat: strong woven fabric + marine-grade PVC.
It’s the reason your bumper lasts season after season, not a foam fender that cracks by spring.
Stronger = more sustainable + fewer replacements.
🎁 Day 4: Four Seasons of Protection
Big Bumper bumpers aren’t just for summer.
They handle spring chop, summer wakes, fall windstorms, and winter storage docks with ease.
From lakes to saltwater coastlines, they’re engineered for year-round confidence.
🎁 Day 5: Five Knocks Prevented
“Fiiiiiive knocks prevented!”
Because nothing ruins holiday cheer faster than a dock collision that could’ve been avoided.
Our inflatable design absorbs movement, cushions impact, and keeps your gel coat looking pristine.
Hull repair bills? No, thank you.
🎁 Day 6: Six Seconds to Inflate
Okay, maybe slightly more than six seconds…but it’s fast.
Big Bumper inflates quickly and easily and deflates even faster for compact storage.
Holiday magic, but practical.
🎁 Day 7: Seven Ways to Dock Smarter
Smart docking protects your boat and your blood pressure.
Here are seven simple steps:
Approach at idle speed
Position your bumpers early
Check wind direction
Use your lines, don’t guess
Add extra bumpers on tight docks
Keep spacing even
Practice in quiet areas
Your bumper is only as good as the technique behind it.
🎁 Day 8: Eight Feet of Trouble (Without Bumpers)
Your boat doesn’t need to be huge to cause huge damage.
Even an 18–22 ft vessel can build enough momentum for scratches, dents, and stress cracks.
That’s why protection isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Give your hull the cushion it deserves.
🎁 Day 9: Nine Months of Boating Memories
Most of us spend 7 glorious months a year on the water, from early spring launches to late-fall cruises.
Your bumpers protect not just the boat, but all those memories tied to it: kids learning to tie cleats, summer raft-ups, golden-hour rides, and chilly sunrise fishing trips.
Protect the life you love on the water.
🎁 Day 10: Ten Dockings, Zero Scratches
Testimonial time.
Ten dockings. Twenty. Fifty. With the right bumper setup, scratches, dents, and anxiety stay at zero.

🎁 Day 11: Eleven Inches of Cushion
The thicker the cushion, the safer your hull.
Rigid fenders can crack or flatten, but an inflatable bumper distributes impact across a deep, air-filled chamber.
It’s physics. Holiday-season physics.
🎁 Day 12: Twelve Days, One Smart Upgrade
After 12 days of boating brilliance, we arrive at one truth:
One bumper solves a whole lot of headaches.
Safer docking. Fewer repairs. Easier storage. Longer product life. More peace of mind.
👉 Give your boat the gift of real protection this Christmas.
🎅 Final Thoughts
Holiday boating may be quiet, but the passion never takes a break.
The 12 Days of Boating Christmas isn’t just festive, it’s a reminder that your boat deserves the same care you show your home, your family, and your traditions.
Deck the docks.
Inflate the bumpers.
And sail into the new year protected.
