Rolls-Royce Boat Tail

A J-class yacht for the road, with a champagne hosting suite.

Boat Tail relaunched Rolls-Royce Coachbuild as a permanent division. It is a nautically themed grand tourer whose rear deck opens into a butterfly “hosting suite” with champagne fridges, cutlery and a parasol. Three cars were built, each fully unique and co-designed with its patron over years. It is the modern high-water mark of bespoke automotive craft.
