BILGIN Yachts – Operating Since 1929

Bilgin Yachts is an Istanbul-based shipyard that boasts a long boatbuilding history. Today, the 5th generation of the Bilgin family manages the family-run business, which continues to construct high-end luxury yachts and superyachts. 

BILGIN yachts history

Bilgin began its long history in the boat-building business in 1929 on the shores of the Bosphorus.

The yard has grown into four shipyard facilities, with additional furniture and metalworking facilities operated under the company.

The company was formally established under the name Osis Tekne by Bilgin Sengun in the 50s.

The current generation of the family are specialists in constructing high-end megayachts and superyachts after the 1st generation of the Bilgin yacht family had accomplished mastering the intricacies and details of vessel construction.

In 2014, the company decided to change its name to Bilgin, which best reflected the identity of the rich yacht-building history of the company. 

Bilgin is one of the leading shipbuilders in Turkey and is also listed in the world’s top 20 shipbuilding brands. This status arrived when the company successfully delivered the 46.8m Bilgin 155m in 2017.

The yacht is named GIAOLO-LU and was finalized in the World Superyacht Awards and the Showboat Design Awards. 

This success was followed by the 48m NERISSA, a finalist for the same awards for her interior design and naval architecture. 

In 2002, the company decided to shift its focus from domestic accounts to garnering international accounts. Their first overseas contract was LADY MARINA, sold to a Russian buyer. 

2004 to 2005 were critical times for the flourishing shipbuilding company as they made major deals with several Greek clients and French and British as well.

Other countries that Bilgin has clients from are Egypt and the United States, launching Bilgin into the international playing field.

In 2005, top management decided to make Bilgin a solely export business. The company is currently run by Ismail Bilgin and Mehmet Bilgin.

Notable BILGIN yacht launches

There are several notable launches from Bilgin. Bilgin 263 , the Bilgin 156, Bilgin 263 II, Bilgin 147, Indiana Bilgin 127, and the RL NOOR Bilgin 123 are just a few of the many successful models which Bilgin has produced.

The shipyard became a member of the Superyacht Builders Association (SYBAss) in 2019 and made its mark by launching the incredible Tatiana, an 80m superyacht.

The yacht was built in 2002 with cutting-edge technology and is the flagship yacht of Bilgin Yachts. The yacht was designed with Unique Yacht Design and H2 Yacht Design. 

Bilgin is known for its ability to cater to its client’s needs and wants speedily. The company continues to make a splash on its international offerings with incredible yachts that are innovative and features amazing craftsmanship.

Written by Rachael Steele

Luxury yacht TATIANA was launched by Turkish shipyard Bilgin Yachts in February 2020, and at 80m/263ft it is the largest build from the shipyard to date. As the second Bilgin 263 model is sold and the third enters construction, it’s now possible to see the recently released imagery for TATIANA with reveals what has made this luxury yacht an instant success on the market even in such a tumultuous year.

The naval architecture and exterior styling both come from Unique Yacht Design, while H2 Yacht Design created her appealing interiors. The steel hull and aluminium superstructure have a masculine appearance created by sharp lines and a more traditional colour scheme of dark and light grey, most often associated with military vessels. With the increase in on board space comes a tendency to create a broad and bulky hull, however by elongating the deck areas M/Y TATIANA keeps a sleek and stylish profile that maximises space utilisation, particularly when adding swimming pools to the decks.

Outdoor living is prized, allowing the Owner and guests to savour every moment cruising in such destinations as the Mediterranean charter grounds, taking in the beauty of the Turkish Riviera and the Dalmatian Coast before cruising on to the heart of the summer social scene along the French Riviera .

Superyacht TATIANA is designed with large dockside gatherings in mind: Guests will disembark onto the large swim platform and enter the magnificent beach club within. The tenders and water toys are instead stored in the bow section beneath a flush foredeck cover, ensuring that space can still be used for such functions as exercise and sunbathing.

Beach Club

The main deck aft, meanwhile, hosts a desirable swimming pool of 8.5m/27.9ft in length and a depth of 1.4m/4.6ft – perfect for cooling off on hot summer days or exercising after dark when the water toys are safely stowed away. Although there are sunbeds running the length of both sides of the pool, the group might also like to rest and dry off on the sofa/sunbeds farther forward in the alfresco lounge area. Here, there is quick access to the bar where the talented crew can create a range of colourful cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages to suit all ages and occasions.

The upper deck aft is the main alfresco dining area and offers an extensive dining table with a bar to port and aft-facing seating behind to enjoy an aperitif or a nightcap while watching the blazing sunset. Canvas shades are available to keep off the midday sun and light sea spray.

The Owner’s deck is divided into fore and aft sections that also have optional canvas shades. The aft section is dedicated to lounging and sunbathing, with a plush sunbed along the stern and close to the glass sliding doors to the interior a sofa on both sides with a coffee table in between. The forward deck area is fitted with a sofa/sunbed on both sides and a forward Jacuzzi that will be coveted place to unwind while having uninterrupted views of the stunning Ionian Islands white cliffs, the regattas at Porto Cervo in Sardinia and the amazing cities of the Cote d’Azur .

Large windows and private terraces connect the interior and exterior spaces: At night, the warm glow of the lighting across the decks makes her as much of a show-stopper as a welcome home on the water during an extensive cruise. It is this lighting which draws guests into the understated elegance of the contemporary interiors by H2 Yacht Design, and the beach club is likely to be one of the first spaces guests and visitors enter by. The light and spacious interior are achieved using Macassar veneer and light eucalyptus. The top-quality marble is back-lit to bring out its details, further complemented by carved stone and emphasised textures.

A swimming pool runs through the centre of the aft beach club section, further illuminated by glass panels in the swimming pool on the main deck above. Farther forward, the beach club opens up to reveal a bar, plush lounges with top-quality TV entertainment and audio systems, a hammam and a spa massage room. Fold-down terraces further extend the space for sunbathing and lounging while simultaneously opening the interior up to the sunshine and fresh sea air.

Elsewhere on board there is an ambient cinema that has dark textures walls and two rows of matching silvery sofas. A coffee table also presents the possibility of using this space as another quiet lounge for close conversation.

Gym

The fully-equipped gym has a running machine, rowing machine and a range of free weights amongst its workout choices, and a widescreen TV will provide entertainment and motivation in the calm, bright white surroundings.

The main deck salon uses pale cream tones, slate blue and silvery mirror surfaces to create an ambience associated with the open sky. This is reflected in the colour scheme and subject matter of the surrounding artwork, adding to the serenity when dining beneath the sensational custom chandelier, or planning for the day ahead on the sumptuous sofas or armchairs. A widescreen TV separates the dining and lounging areas, and it can be viewed from both sides so that the group never misses a moment of the latest news and sports.

The skylounge is a dream-like sports lounge with an eye-catching back-lit bar, a pool table, grand piano and armchairs scattered throughout two semi-circular sofas and coffee tables create a cosy place to relax and watch live-action or a film on the widescreen TV, with the mirrored ceiling and matching walls creating an intimate environment after sundown.

Upper Deck Skylounge

The guest accommodation is just as beautiful and pristine in colour choice and furnishings. There are 8 en-suite cabins spread across the decks to sleep up to 14 guests: 1 Master suite, 3 VIP staterooms and 4 further guest cabins comprised of doubles and twins.

The Master suite is placed on the Owner’s deck and has its own private office as well as a massive stately bedroom in white, grey, dark teal and gold. The king-sized bed takes centre stage, however, there is also a day bed for reading and unwinding beside the window, a massive widescreen TV integrated into the port and starboard walls, a seating area with table for casual meals and drinks, all with fantastic views out onto the aft terrace. The en-suite bathroom has everything the occupants could desire, with twin sinks, a bathtub and shower within the well-proportioned interior.

Main Deck VIP Guest Cabin

All three VIP staterooms are situated on the main deck and have queen-sized beds within each voluminous room. The windows are almost full-height, granting the occupants excellent views and natural lighting while maintaining privacy within. A widescreen TV is placed in the wall opposite the bed, and the storage is integrated seamlessly into the surroundings. The en-suite bathroom is finished in marble and has twin sinks and bathtub with shower.

Lower Deck Guest Twin Cabin

The remaining guest cabins on the lower deck enjoy an abundance of space as well as cutting edge amenities and en-suite facilities, making these bedrooms just as much of a tranquil haven after a busy day.

The crew of 23 are accommodated on the lower deck, and their areas have received just as much attention to detail. There is a crew mess for meals and downtime, and the team of professional chefs have plenty of space in the cutting-edge galley to prepare stunning creations for everyday meals or to mark a special celebration.

The engineering is just as impressive with a pair of engines and a generator producing a top speed of 19 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots and an extensive range of more than 6,000 nautical miles. The fuel capacity draws on 155,000 litres and has an economical fuel consumption of approximately 250 litres per hour.

Luxury yacht TATIANA is built to IMO Tier III certification and at the time of writing is the cleanest yacht in her class: The special exhaust system aboard M/Y TATIANA produces 100% clean air emissions that further enhances her eco-friendly credentials for a greener future for travel.

Bilgin Yachts is also currently building a 50m/164ft and 74m/242.8ft luxury yacht both due for launch in 2022, plus a new 85m/278.9ft superyacht due for launch in 2023 when she will become the new flagship for the yard.

Bilgin yacht Kasif interior images by Hot Lab

First look: inside the 42m Bilgin explorer Kaşif

Milanese studio Hot Lab has revealed the first interior images of the 41.9-metre explorer yacht Kaşif , a name which translates to "explorer" in Turkish. 

She was the first vessel to emerge from Bilgin Yachts ' new Antalya facility in August 2023 and was built for a repeat client of the shipyard, with her owners having "strong maritime shipping connections" (being a captain and an architect).

The vessel marks the eighth collaboration between Bilgin Yachts and Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design , and follows on from work on the 80-metre Tatiana and Leona and the in-build Bilgin 163 Eternal Spark.

"We quickly realised that the preparation and dedication of the two owners – he a captain and she an architect – would require something more than our usual organisational procedure," explained Enrico Lumini, partner and head of design at Hot Lab. "The entire family is strictly related to the sea and the maritime world, and while the husband oversaw most of the technical matters, his wife collaborated closely with us in creating such a beautiful vessel."

Kaşif is described by Lumini as a "mature yacht" and "one of the most fun and stimulating projects" that the studio has undertaken. He added: "The result is a modern yet timeless aesthetic, seamlessly blending contemporary geometries with elements reflecting the owners' passions."

Accommodation is configured as a large owner's cabin on the main deck with three VIP suites and two twin cabins. Pastel hues are used for the lower deck cabins (obtained through the used of dyed wood), while the main saloon boasts a rich burgundy palette and lacquering. "The upper deck saloon exudes a masculine elegance, showcasing a layout that caters to comfort and relaxation," Lumini added.

The yacht also serves a dual purpose for the owners' business in offshore fish farming, requiring a vessel that is safe for travel to their farms situated at least 3 miles from the coastline. Kaşif , therefore, has a 5,000+ nautical mile range befitting an explorer-style yacht.

"It was our first time working together with the owners of this yacht, and hopefully it won’t be the last," added Antonio Romano, commercial director of The Viken Group and co-founder of Hot Lab. "They are a beautiful young couple and I wish them all the success to build many more vessels in their future."

According to BOATPro , Bilgin Yachts has nine yachts currently under construction. The shipyard's red-hulled, 80-metre Leona was recently announced as a BOAT International Design & Innovation Award winner.

With exterior design and naval architecture by Unique Yacht Design and interior design by Hot Lab, the 50-meter Bilgin 163 series is as trendy and comfortable as her predecessors Snow 5 and Starburst III. The brand-new project has 20 percent larger areas compared to 48m yachts which makes her even more special. The first hull of the series received a technical launch at Bilgin Yachts’ facilities in Istanbul in March 2022. The delivery is planned for 2023.

Having a six-cabin layout, Bilgin 163 offers spacious, modern and stylish living areas to the guests. The main color scheme consists of natural colors which have a great harmony with large windows and high-gloss materials.  Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design in Hot Lab says, “Bilgin 163 follows the studio’s new philosophy ‘Architecture for Voyagers’ and focuses on cleanliness of architectural volumes, and a renewed sense for a softness of lines. A plastic minimalism, sober, but rich in details.” In this model, the designers wanted to rediscover the luxury of pure craftmanship, the attention to small details without relinquishing the use of precious materials. The interior lines are strengthened with the powerful exterior living areas of the yacht. Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design underlines that particularly exterior areas will be larger than the yacht’s predecessors. “This also gives a sportive look to Bilgin 163” says Özgün. Equipped with twin 1,450 CAT engines, the new Bilgin 163 is going to have a top speed of around 17 knots with low cost.
