Sea Gear has introduced SKIPPER’S marine paint to the Maldivian market, bringing a premium Italian yacht paint and marine coating system to boat owners, marine operators, resorts, boatyards, workshops, and professional applicators across the country.
SKIPPER’S Line is a specialist marine coatings brand manufactured by Aemme Colori, an Italian paint manufacturer with a heritage dating back to 1947. The company began as Colorificio Lombardo in Alzano Lombardo, Italy, producing paints and primers before expanding into advanced specialist coatings. In 1975, Aemme Colori established its modern manufacturing facility in Ranica, focusing on product innovation, specialist coatings, and professional applications.
The marine heritage of SKIPPER’S was further strengthened in 2001, when Aemme Colori acquired Colorificio Baseggio of Venice, a respected family-run marine coatings manufacturer founded in 1890. This brought together Italian craftsmanship, traditional marine coating expertise, and advanced technology, forming the foundation of the SKIPPER’S Line range available today.
SKIPPER’S offers a complete range of yacht paints and marine coating solutions, including varnishes, epoxy primers, undercoats, paint finishes, fillers, fairing compounds, thinners, additives, and teak care products. The range is designed for marine applications on GRP/fiberglass, steel, aluminium, and wood, making it suitable for a wide variety of vessels used in the Maldives.
Unlike ordinary paints, SKIPPER’S is developed specifically for demanding marine environments. Its coating systems are engineered for durability at sea, high-salinity conditions, UV resistance, long-lasting protection, and superior aesthetic finish. The brand’s two-component polyurethane systems, such as Acriglass, are designed for professional marine finishing where gloss retention, colour retention, durability, chemical resistance, and ease of application are important.
This makes SKIPPER’S especially relevant for the Maldives. Vessels in the Maldives operate daily in warm, humid, saltwater conditions, with constant exposure to sunlight, sea spray, and marine growth. The Maldives experiences a warm and humid climate throughout the year, with temperatures moderated by the surrounding sea and oceans.
In such conditions, a proper marine coating system plays an important role in protecting hulls, decks, metal surfaces, wooden finishes, and underwater areas. SKIPPER’S epoxy primers help create a protective barrier for steel and aluminium surfaces, while its antifouling and specialist underwater coatings are designed to help reduce marine growth, drag, and maintenance requirements.
For resorts, speedboat operators, dive centers, fishing vessels, private boat owners, and marine workshops, the availability of SKIPPER’S in the Maldives provides access to a professional-grade coating solution that can help extend vessel life, maintain appearance, improve operational efficiency, and reduce long-term maintenance challenges.
Sea Gear stated that the introduction of SKIPPER’S reflects its continued commitment to supplying high-quality marine products that are suitable for the unique demands of the Maldivian marine environment. With the addition of SKIPPER’S marine paints, Sea Gear aims to support the local marine industry with trusted coating systems designed for protection, performance, and lasting beauty at sea.
