handcrafted bentley interior inspires a luxury yacht design to match

in partnership with contest yachts, bentley motors unveils a newly designed yacht interior to match the deluxe cabin design of a custom continental GT coupe. the bespoke nautical trim is created by craftspeople at bentley design services, which specializes in creating customized solutions for the automotive brand’s clients. the team worked side by side with the premium dutch yacht builder to realize the project.

the luxury cabin of the yacht owner’s bentley continental GT V8 coupe already incorporated ‘hotspur’ red leather and contrasting linen beige hide — styling which the brand was then able to help recreate inside the new 59-foot ‘contest 59 CS’ yacht. the interior panelling in the ocean-going yacht also showcases the 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 coupe.

brett boydell, head of bentley design collaborations at bentley motors comments on the custom yacht interior: ‘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.’
