Bentley Motors has collaborated on the creation of a truly unique yacht interior to match the exquisite cabin design of a customer’s Continental GT V8 coupe.
The bespoke nautical trim was created by craftspeople at Bentley Design Services, which specializes in creating customized solutions for the brand’s very well off clients, working side-by-side with premium Dutch yacht builder, Contest Yachts.
The luxurious cabin of the yacht owner’s Continental GT V8 coupe already incorporated Hotspur red leather, combined with contrasting Linen beige hide – styling which Bentley was then able to help recreate inside the new 18 meter, Contest 59 CS yacht.
The interior panelling in the ocean-going yacht also showcases Bentley’s signature diamond-in-diamond stitching. This unique quilting requires exactly 712 stitches per diamond and a high level of skill to produce on a specially-commissioned machine, exclusive to Bentley Motors. Outside, the deep blue hull of the Contest yacht perfectly complements the Light Sapphire finish of the owner’s Continental GT V8 Coupe.
“This project was an opportunity for Bentley Design Services to showcase some of their many skills in a truly unique collaboration. Bentley cars embrace qualities of craftsmanship and styling that are only achieved at the highest level of nautical design.” – Brett Boydell, Head of Bentley Design Collaborations at Bentley Motors
“Our family has been building premium class sailing and motor yachts for more than 60 years. We are well-known for our thorough approach to customisation, which allows us to fulfill the expectations and preferences of every customer. This project is the ultimate example of this approach – working with Bentley to turn a customer’s dream into reality.” – Arjen Conijn, CEO and Co-Owner of Contest Yachts
Unsurprisingly, Bentley did not disclose the price for making a car match a yacht, but if you have to ask, you clearly can’t afford it. I wonder if the owner will make his home match the boat and car next?
