Abstract
A buoyant marine fender element is disclosed, with guides for securing it to a mooring facility such as a piling, which allows the fender element to rise and fall with the tide or waves. The fender element is cylindrical in form and sealed at each end by an enlarged end cap, which serves as a stop element for limiting up and down movement upon contacting a guide element.
