Marine & Boat leather

Leather has been used on ships and boats for a very long time. However, there are two separate applications. One area of use is the seating areas Inside the ships, where the weather does not have a direct impact on the leather. Almost every kind of leather is processed for these areas. Particularly on luxury ships, every exotic leather is processed in addition to the traditional cow leather.

In the outdoor area, the cushions of the benches and berths are almost exclusively covered with imitation leather. Genuine leather would not last long under constant sun, temperature fluctuations and humidity. In addition, suntan cream damages leather. Even artificial leather becomes yellow from sun creams very quickly. Historically, Eskimos used leather for the outer covering of their boats.
