About Bilgin Yachts

Bilgin Yacht is a Turkish shipyard specialising in motorboats spanning from 25 to 45 metres in length, with highly customised interiors and exteriors, taking about 14 to 18 months to the completion of a yacht.

The yard was founded by Bilgin Sengun as a family business in the 1950s. Until the 1990s the yard continued with custom built motor sailers and sailing yachts.  Today the yard is run by his son Ismail and nephew Mehmet and the shipyards Sales & Relation Manager Yildirim Bilgen who joined the Bilgin Shipyard in 2005.

Bilgin Yacht started building the new generation super & mega yachts in Cold Moulded construction technology. In early 2010 the 50m steel hull for the classic motorsailer/schooner has been started. Her superstructure will be constructed in Cold Moulded Technology, as well.

The new sales and relation management has been taking on pure custom projects over 30 metres up to 45metres LOA for export products. The company currently employs some 150 staff, including 50 carpenters and a team of architects, designers and engineers.

Bilgin Yard works with well-known European designers such as the Italian Hot Lab Yacht Design studio and the British company H2 Yacht Design. Germany’s Joachim Kinder has designed one of the latest builds, the 38 metre motor yacht  Indiana and the 45 metre motor yacht Tatiana. Other that working with external designers, Bilgin Yachts has also their own team of designers.

Bilgin manufactures furniture, fittings and other accessories for the interiors in-house, while suppliers provide other parts such as glass, electrical equipment, navigation systems, deck hardware, engines and so on. Subcontractors are also brought in to carry out painting jobs.

The current shipyard covers around 7,000 square metres and can accommodate five to six projects simultaneously depending on sizes. Bilgin Yacht’s biggest motor yacht so far is the  45 metre motor yacht Tatiana scheduled to be launched in early 2011, however the yard has ambitions to start building projects above that threshold. This would imply using steel and aluminium as the main material of the boat, while so far the yard has only worked with wood (using mainly West System epoxies with cold-moulded mahogany).

With the new target in mind, Bilgin Yacht has already put together a team in preparation for its eventual entry into the larger yacht market. Its current facility is located in Kuçukçekmece (Istanbul) by the Sea of Marmara, very close to the city’s main airport. There are plans to invest in a bigger shipyard and currently the company is searching for a suitable location to satisfy its new ambition.

Superyacht MYSTIC’s interior by Schnaase Interior Design

July 07, 2010

Schnaase Interior Design has unveiled images of their new interior for the superyacht Mystic, a 46 metre superyacht which was designed by Diana Yacht Design and has now been built and launched by CMB Yachts.

CMB Superyacht Mystic profile

Superyacht Mystic is the first completion at the CMB Yachts yard and she is the largest composite yacht built in Turkey to-date. Yacht Mystic features an interior styled by Birgit Schnaase with accommodation for 10 guests in a master suite, two double and two twin cabins.

Schnaase Interior Design aimed to create an interior that was as new and fresh as the newborn shipyard the vessel was being built at. The result is a concept that leans towards oriental tastes more than to Northern European.  The overall style of motor yacht Mystic is “a new interpretation of Art Nouveau.” describes Schnaase.

The interior of the superyacht Mystic is a powerful mix of strong materials. Macassar ebony provides contrasting dark trims and skirting boards. Glass chandeliers, mother of pearl detailing and crystal accessories, exude decadence and provide a contrast to the more contemporary materials, such as the shimmering Majilite panels covering the walls.

Schnaase Interior Design have kept the colour palette of M/Y Mystic fairly neutral with beiges, browns and creams, finished with details such as large gold handles, classic Art Nouveau fabric patterns and warm golden Onyx on the floors, mixed with leather and silk.

The layout of this yacht is fairly unique with her master suite being situated on the upper deck in the area normally used for the sky lounge. And the usual place for the master suite on a superyacht is on the main deck is replaced by a large gymnasium and a cinema.

The CMB Mystic yacht is powered by twin 1450hp MTU engines and she will reach a top speed of 17 knots with a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. The superyacht is RINA classed and MCA compliant.

July 05, 2010

Motor yacht Columbus 199 is a 60 meter (197 feet), steel-hulled superyacht, currently being built by Cantieri Navale Palumbo slated for launch in 2012.

Superyacht Columbus 199

Motor yacht Columbus 199 is a sleek and streamlined motor yacht designed by an Italy-based design firmHydro-Tec. Megayacht Columbus 199 rises five decks high and has a full-displacement hull fitted with a bulbous bow for better seakeeping.

Superyacht Columbus 199 has a 7 cabin layout including the full beam owner’s suite on the upper deck aft of the wheelhouse allowing fantastic views, 2 VIP staterooms on the Main deck and 4 cabins on the lower deck.

Motor yacht Columbus 199

 The motor yacht Columbus 199 will also feature an enclosed gym and an alfresco bar accompany on the upper deck, a spa pool, beach club area aft of the tender garage, and an elevator serving four of the decks.

“The extra length of the Columbus 199 allowed us to create an enclosed area on the fly bridge were the Gym has been located”, commented Hydro-Tec’s designer Sergio Cutolo. “In the aft area the hull has been lengthened in order to create a beach club aft of the garage area. The beach club is further enhanced by the hydraulic swim platform which, when open, extends the hull by about three metres.”

Megayacht Columbus 199 by Palumbo

The motor yacht Columbus 199 is expected to have a top speed of 17 knots thanks to twin MTU 16V 4000 M60 diesel engines. At 15 knots, the Columbus 199 is expected to have a 4,000-mile range and at 14 knots she is expected to have a 5,000 nautical mile arrange.

The 60-metre superyacht Columbus 199 will also meet RINA (Registro Italiano Navale) Green Star code, a classification identifying ships which are designed, constructed and operated in such a way as to ensure maximum respect for the environment.

Motor yacht Columbus 199 is expected to be launched in 2012.

Palumbo are also working on a smaller sistership Columbus 177. Commissioned by the same owner, the 177 is nearing completion at Palumbo. The equally eco-friendly Columbus 177 has more of a “classical” design compared with the more ‘aggressive’ styling of motor yacht Columbus 199.

Sanlorenzo superyacht Lammouche at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show

July 05, 2010

Sanlorenzo have announced their flagship, superyacht Lammouche will be at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show. (September 22nd-25th 2010)

The 44 metre Sanlorenzo motor yacht Lammouche was launched in early 2010 by the shipyard in Italy. The 44m Steel vessel has a three-deck displacement hull, with aluminium superstructure.

Motor Yacht Lammouche by Sanlorenzo

Megayacht Lammouche is able to accommodate up to 10 guests with 9 crew members.

A very important feature on motor yacht Lammouche, that has never been seen on a yacht of Lammouche’s size, is the underneath lower deck, which is a deck situated below the lower deck. It includes a central tunnel running all the way from stern to bow, and housing the technical areas, such as stabiliser fins, bow thruster and different systems; and the service areas, such as laundry with three washing machines and 3 driers, ironing board and a refrigeration zone with freezers and cold storage rooms. The tunnel is usually very narrow, even on the larger yachts. However, the 44 Steel Lammouche has it high enough to walk through, thus simplifying system checking and maintenance. This deck as an additional access to the engine room, to let the Chief Engineer accessing the room without raising to the upper deck where the guest rooms are located.

Motor yacht Lammouche’s large stern area features the Beach Club, which is a fitness area complete with a gym and Spa with dedicated bathroom. The Beach Club faces a large bathing platform, immaculately levelled floor with no steps. The Beach Club is reachable through two stairways coming from the main deck. That is outside from the cockpit or inside from the saloon. Opposite of this area by beam is the tender garage, which has a big starboard side door, large enough to accommodate a 20′ tender.

Sanlorenzo 44 Steel Lammouche is powered by two CAT 3512B x 2.040hp (1.500 kW) at 1.600 rpm, and can reach a maximum speed of 17 knots, while the cruising speed is of 15 knots.

Motor yacht Lammouche will also be a the Salone Nautico Internazionale di Genova in October.
