The Bentley Continental GT Cabin Inspires A One-Off Yacht
Highlights
Bentley Motors has collaborated on the creation of a truly unique yacht interior to match the cabin design of a customer's Continental GT V8 coupe. The bespoke nautical trim was created by craftspeople at Bentley Design Services, which specialises in creating customised solutions for the brand's 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-metre, 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.
