About Us

Bilgin Yachts, a distinguished member of SYBAss, specializes in crafting superyachts ranging from 50 to 120 meters, boasting extensive expertise in the superyacht industry. As a thriving family enterprise, Bilgin operates across various facilities spanning a total area exceeding 79,450 square meters strategically located throughout Turkey.

With headquarters located in the West Istanbul Marina, Bilgin has facilities comprising manufacturing areas, a state-of-the-art marine furniture factory, a comprehensive mechanic, hydraulic, stainless-steel and upholstery workshop, all of which work closely until a project is ready for launch. Presently, our facilities are distributed as follows: Yalova: 40,000 sqm, accommodating five projects, including major plumbing and infrastructure projects; Marina Main Facility: Over 10,000 sqm, supplemented by new hangars spanning 8,000 sqm, Kucuk Cekmece Area 7,000 sqm; Furniture Factory 9,500 sqm, and the outfitting area in Antalya 4,950 sqm. Currently in Yalova, the builder is able to accommodate five projects (two units of 85-120m yachts and three units of 50-65m yachts) and also hold the major plumbing and infrastructure projects. In Istanbul, the outfitting capacity is five projects (three units of 70-90m yachts and two units of 50-65m yachts) simultaneously. Once the hull and superstructure are ready in Yalova, Bilgin arranges the technical launch and brings the hulls to the main headquarters in Istanbul where outfitting teams such as electrical, piping, mechanical, interior and fairing & painting teams work closely for further outfitting and finishing works until the project is ready for launch.

Upon completion of hulls and superstructures in Yalova, we orchestrate technical launches and transport the hulls to our Istanbul headquarters. There, our outfitting teams, including electrical, piping, mechanical, interior, and fairing & painting teams, meticulously carry out further outfitting and finishing works until the project is ready for launch.

Employing over 750 highly skilled craftsmen across our facilities, we also operate a marine stainless steel factory and a furniture factory. With our dedicated team and third-party collaborators, we possess the capability to undertake refit projects, provide after-sales services, and offer wintering services for megayachts.

At Bilgin Yachts, we prioritize eco-friendliness and sustainability throughout our processes, ensuring that green factors are integrated from project inception to launch. Our ultimate objective is to emerge as a leading global brand while consistently delivering time-sensitive multitasking services to our valued customers.

With our youthful yet highly organized team, expansive facilities, and unwavering commitment to quality, we aim to maintain our standards and value. Our comprehensive range of services extends beyond initial yacht construction to encompass after-sales support, yacht winterization, and maintenance, including refit processes tailored to older yachts.

FIVE FACILITIES ONE VISION

With over 700 highly-skilled craftspersons operating across our five facilities, Bilgin Yachts combines diverse areas of expertise to develop, build, modernize, refit, and maintain yachts. Our additional production facility at West Istanbul Marina, established in 2016, provides more space for refit projects, after-sales services, and wintering services for megayachts, complementing our robust building facilities.
