BILGIN 163 I

OVERVIEW

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.
