OVERVIEW
With design roots in Bilgin’s acclaimed 80-meter series, Kaşif carries the DNA of performance in a more compact form. Her displacement hull delivers impressive fuel efficiency—consuming 30 liters at 8 knots—while twin 500 kW CAT C18 engines allow her to comfortably cruise at 10 knots with a range exceeding 5,000 nautical miles.
The exterior speaks the language of Bilgin’s signature style: sporty, aggressive, yet elegantly balanced. Her dynamic profile reflects the spirit of purposeful adventure, shaped by Emrecan Özgün’s keen design eye. “Kaşif redefines the explorer concept,” he explains. “She’s a precursor to a new Bilgin segment -a symbol of evolution and vision.”
Inside, Enrico Lumini of Hot Lab has created a serene, layered environment inspired by the owners’ own passions. “Kaşif is a mature yacht,” says Lumini. “A result of collaboration, vision, and joyful design exploration.” Each deck holds its own identity: pastel hues soften the private cabins on the lower deck, a deep burgundy enriches the main saloon, while the upper deck evokes masculine elegance. The layout is purposeful yet fluid, with two distinct saloons and six guest cabins -including a generous owner’s suite on the main deck, three VIP cabins, and two twin cabins.
Built at Bilgin Yachts’ state-of-the-art Antalya shipyard, Kaşif represents the start of a bold new chapter. As the first vessel completed at this south-coast facility -with plans already underway for 52- and 60-meter builds- she embodies a spirit of innovation that will shape Bilgin’s future.
Premiering at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, Kaşif stands as a beacon of the shipyard’s relentless pursuit of progress -uniting adventure with artistry, and performance with poise.
