22-25 September 2021
As we are all counting down the days to the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show, we would like to share our excitement with you. Bilgin Yachts' flagship, the 80-meter Tatiana -also the first unit of the Bilgin 263 series- is ready for her debut during the event which will take place on 22-25 September.
If you want to arrange a private visit on board, please kindly let us know in advance since the schedule will be quite busy during the Monaco Yacht Show. We'll be at Quai Des Etats-Unis E.13.
Bilgin 263 Tatiana is the latest launched yacht of Bilgin Yachts that is delivered to her owner this year. Followed by two sister-ships in line, Tatiana has a 80-meter length which makes her the largest superyacht ever-built in Turkey.
Aggressive and sleek are the right words to describe her exterior lines and naval architecture designed by Unique Yacht Design and interiors by H2 Yacht Design. Having accommodation for up to 16 guests in eight cabins comprising the owner's suits, she reaches top speeds of 19 knots and has cruising speed at 12 knots with the power of 2,560 kW twin engines and a generator.
New Bilgin Projects on the way
Istanbul-based shipyard Bilgin Yachts has been growing its ranges since 2019 with new projects coming up. The shipyard is also announced as a new entry as twelfth of the top builders by length in the 2020 Global Order Book's Top 20 list with its five projects which have a total length of 392 metres.
Having launched its flagship 80-metre Tatiana in February 2020, Bilgin Yachts has currently built three units of the 80-metre Bilgin 263 series. The second hull -which is already sold- is planned to be launched in 2022 and following that, the third hull of the model will be delivered to her owner in 2023. The series emphasizes eco-friendliness, featuring a special exhaust system that provides 100% clean air emissions. With two 2,560 kW engines, Tatiana can speed up to 19 knots, while the cruising speed of 12 knots keeps her fuel consumption at 250 l/h. She is built in compliance with IMO Tier III certification and is considered to be the most environmentally friendly yacht in her class.
The third unit of the series, namely NB78 is being produced with a completely new layout and shifted to the outfitting facility in West Istanbul Marina. Meanwhile, the new 85-meter ordered superyacht is under construction with the planned delivery in 2025. There is also an on-spec project of 74-meter superyacht construction coming along for 2023, while the latest project is a 50-meter below 500GT superyacht, planned to be manufactured and completed as well in 2022. Both yachts have their designs signed by Unique Yacht Design. They have modern lines, spacious interior and exterior living areas as well as meeting all the latest manufacturing standards and best practices of the industry.
