Bilgin Yachts is delighted to announce the recent sale of a 52-meter yacht, marking another success for the Bilgin 170 model. This exceptional 52-meter vessel is the result of a collaborative effort between renowned exterior designer Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design and esteemed interior designer Hot Lab from Italy.
Berkay Yilmaz, Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, underscores the significance of this sale: "This agreement serves as further evidence of Bilgin's commitment to nurturing long-term relationships with clients, professionals, and owner representatives. While this marks our first collaboration with this client, they have been closely observing Bilgin Yachts for the past 4-5 years. They've visited our shipyard and had the opportunity to explore vessels such as the 80-meter M/Y Tatiana and the M/Y Moonraker (formerly known as Snow 5), leaving them impressed by the superior quality of our craftsmanship, interior design, and engineering, not to mention our overall design philosophy." Berkay describes the experience as follows: ""In the initial phase of our partnership, our client continued to enjoy their existing yacht, which provided invaluable insights for our shipyard and designers. This allowed us to tailor the new semi-custom project, the Bilgin 170-52 meters, to perfectly match the client's lifestyle and expectations."
The Bilgin 170 redefines luxury yachting, seamlessly blending innovative design with remarkable craftsmanship. Ismail Sengün, CEO at Bilgin Yachts, praises the innovation: "Unique Yacht Design's approach and Hot Lab's interior design have resulted in a vessel exuding sportiness and elegance, elevating the yacht experience to new heights." Boasting a sleek and modern design, the Bilgin 170 sets itself apart from its 50-meter predecessors. The addition of an elongated bridge deck aft, extending by one and a half meters, amplifies the living space, offering customers a spacious and inviting shaded area to unwind and savor their sailing journey.
"At Bilgin, our mission extends beyond merely selling the highest-quality yachts in Turkey. We take pride in our ability to design and construct the finest yachts in the country, utilizing proven engineering platforms. We are committed to leading the Turkish Yachting Industry in the semi-custom range, especially for yachts measuring 50 meters and above, all built upon established platforms," Berkay continues, emphasizing the company's dedication to excellence.
The Bilgin 170 offers a captivating blend of style, functionality, and craftsmanship. The first two units are scheduled for delivery by the pre-season of 2025, with the third and forth units available for 2026, promising a lasting impression on the industry and yacht enthusiasts worldwide.
