Alexseal Yacht Coatings has significantly expanded its Color Configurator, adding four new yacht models and three distinctive new color shades.
“Shortly after the 2025 launch, many of our customers were using the tool and even asked for more model variety,” says Thomas Schultz, Global Sales Director of Alexseal Yacht Coatings. “The highly positive feedback from Color Configurator users pushed us to extend the configurator massively.” In doing so, Alexseal aimed to reflect the realities of the global yacht market even more closely. New to the portfolio are a large sailing yacht, a Dutch motor yacht, a motor catamaran, and a compact center console.
Until now, the existing models (superyacht, small motor yacht, small sailing yacht, sportfish, and picnic boat) were manufacturer-independent designs. For this expansion, Alexseal partnered with well-known shipyards that provided their yacht models. Contest Yachts contributed the brand-new Contest 56CS for the sailing yacht category and Boarnstream Yachting provided the Boarncruiser 1440 Elegance for the Dutch motor yacht. Also a motor catamaran (Two Oceans 555 power catamaran) and a center console were added to the yacht portfolio.
In addition to the four new models, Alexseal is adding three new shades to its color portfolio: SOUR, a vivid yellow-green; TREE HOUSE, a rich brown; and ICE WATER, a light blue-gray. These shades are based on the Colors of the Year 2026 released annually by coatings manufacturer Mankiewicz, the company behind the brand of Alexseal Yacht Coatings. The selections reflect broader social developments and global color trends. The Colors of the Year are shown exclusively in the Configurator.
The original Color Configurator launched in spring 2025 as a digital tool. It lets users apply Alexseal standard solid and metallic colors digitally to the hull, superstructure, and boot stripe of various yacht types quickly, intuitively, and with minimal effort. This makes it easy to explore color choices and experiment with different combinations.
The tool is designed primarily to support yacht owners and prospective owners, helping them evaluate how colors work and perform across a yacht’s geometry and large surface areas. As such, it is an ideal complement to the smaller color chips typically provided by coatings manufacturers, to make an ideal color choice.
