OVERVIEW

Designed for both ocean passage and coastal retreat, Starburst-III is powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 diesel engines, reaching a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising range exceeding 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. She balances her bold exterior with surprisingly generous volumes inside, optimizing every meter of her 8.75-meter beam.

The arrangement features a standout sky lounge, offering panoramic relaxation with a Jacuzzi and surrounding seating. Light flows freely through the interior, notably through the skylight below the Jacuzzi, casting natural brilliance into the heart of the yacht. The main saloon, enhanced by sliding glass doors and convertible starboard access, transforms easily into an open-air space—seamlessly integrating the outdoors for immersive connection to nature.

Her layout is smart and sophisticated, offering comfort across multiple decks while maintaining the refined flow of movement and sightlines throughout. With her five luxurious staterooms, expansive decks, and airy interiors, Starburst-III is equally suited to private cruising or high-end charter.

The success of Starburst-III sparked further evolution in the Bilgin 156 series, leading to sistership Snow 5, which was delivered in 2019. Together, they showcase Bilgin’s meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to yacht-building excellence.

Built at the Istanbul shipyard, the Bilgin 156 series is a testament to the brand’s ability to create yachts that merge classic proportions with a fresh, contemporary attitude.
