If you’re anything like us, your biggest problem is figuring out the best way to compliment that brand-new yacht you have docked at the marina and, fortunately, Bentley has created the perfect solution. The British luxury automaker just revealed a special edition version of their Extended Wheelbase Bentayga SUV that takes inspiration from the sea and modern yachting.
If you recall, for 2023, Bentley offered a trio of nautically themed Continental GT convertibles under the Mulliner Riviera Collection that flirted with the yachting world and their sophomore effort encompasses a similar concept with striking exterior upgrades, rich details, and incredibly lush materials used throughout the cabin.
Inspired By The Sea
The Azure Riviera Collection Bentayga EWB is finished in rich Aegean Blue paintwork inspired by the waters of the Mediterranean found along the French Riviera. The striking hue also covers any inklings of chrome trim, the roof rail inserts, and front apron, and is nicely contrasted by black painted front bumper grills.
Bold, 22-inch, model-specific wheels with polished faces and black-painted spoke pockets help complete the package. Bentley says that the all-blue approach atop polished wheels and highlighted by its Blackline spec were all chosen specifically to highlight the Bentayga’s silhouette and tie into the clean, modern design of luxury yachts.

From the Sea To The Skies
Yes, the theme here is all about the waters of the Mediterranean, but don’t forget about the airline touch that elevates the backseat passenger’s experience to a whole new level with Bentley’s remarkable rear airline seats. Armed with a dozen electric motors and a trio of Intelligent Pneumatic Valve ECUs, the seats adjust in 22 ways and offer 177 different pressure changes climate sensing technology to create the perfect seating experience for those long trips between the villa and the docks.
Interior materials for a luxury vehicle of this level needed to be elevated and Bentley spared no expense with the liberal use of Brunel secondary hide along with Linen main hide tied together with Autumn accents. Again taking inspiration from the yachting world, a unique Pinstripe Veneer was used along the center stack to emulate the look of a light teak deck found on luxury yachts.
Each of the four headrests are embroidered with a Riviera Collection knot and “Azure” stitched into the seat backs in autumn accents. Those accents carry onto the piping that accompanies Brunel finished floormats and even the included loose cushions are finished in Linen with Riviera embroidery. While your kids fight over the plush pillows, their bickering is drowned out by a Bang&Olufsen for Bentley audio system. No stone was left un-turned as even the two-tone, three-spoke steering wheel is hide-trimmed and includes a heating element.
Pay To Play
Though no price has been confirmed for the Riviera Collection model, the fact that a standard Bentayga EWB starts at $233,700 well before you start adding in all the additional goodies, means you may have to hold off on having your yacht detailed.
