A fender element which is inflatable and includes a flexible, waterproof shell which, in a deflated state, forms a bag which is housed inside a box and an external face of which delimits a chamber with the box. In the deflated state, the bag is suitable for being deployed outside the box by passing through a slot-shaped opening of the box and turning inside out by air being blown under pressure into said chamber and for being inflated outside the box to form an elongate permanent fender. In the inflated state, the shell is suitable for being deflated and retracted inside the box by forced extraction of the air contained in said chamber.
