Bilgin Yachts is delighted to announce the official release of a captivating video showcasing M/Y Camila, the newest 50-meter superyacht from the highly acclaimed Bilgin 163 series.

Following her much-anticipated launch earlier this year, Camila now commands the spotlight in a breathtaking cinematic presentation, filmed against the stunning backdrop of Istanbul's coastline.

This exclusive video masterfully captures the very essence of Camila's unparalleled elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship. It offers viewers an immersive journey into the yacht's design language, performance, and the bespoke luxury that defines every inch of her. From her sleek, sculpted silhouette gliding through the water to her expansive, inviting decks and contemporary interiors, the video vividly brings Camila's remarkable story to life.

With exterior styling and naval architecture by Unique Yacht Design, Camila boasts a sporty silhouette that harmonizes seamlessly with her generous spaces. "Her design is a testament to the art of blending functionality with beauty," said Emrecan Özgün, founder of Unique Yacht Design. According to Özgün, as a brand-new model, with 20% larger areas than 48-meter yachts, this yacht offers even more space for guests to enjoy.

Inside, the renowned Hot Lab studio has curated interiors that exude modern sophistication. Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab, commented, "We are proud to present the interior design of M/Y Camila, the second 50-meter yacht we have developed for Bilgin. Building on our long-standing collaboration, this project represents a natural evolution of the design direction established for the shipyard. Every element on board has been carefully crafted to offer both sophistication and comfort, while reflecting the refined style characteristic of Bilgin's fleet."

Frank Grzeszczak Jr., Vice President of FGI Yacht Group, played a pivotal role in bringing this project to fruition. "I feel honored to have merged this partnership between an experienced and demanding client, and Bilgin Shipyard. It has been nothing short of an exceptional experience. Our 50 meter project, lovingly named Camila, will gracefully cruise the Mediterranean this summer with her new proud owner. She will undoubtedly turn heads as she cruises the Mediterranean this summer."

Powered by twin 1,450hp CAT engines, Camila reaches a top speed of 16.5 knots and offers an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed -perfect for long, luxurious voyages. Her carefully considered layout maximizes both indoor and outdoor living, with expansive sun decks, a spacious beach club, and beautifully appointed guest suites that elevate the onboard experience.

Berkay Yilmaz, Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, highlighted the yacht's bespoke features: "We take immense pride in seeing this project come to fruition. Our team has worked tirelessly, and the result is a truly stunning yacht. The distinctive elegance of M/Y Camila will undoubtedly capture attention wherever she goes. She is another stunning yacht which will cruise to US Waters and I am grateful to work with an experienced yacht owner who was heavily involved with her design process with Hotlab. Interiors have been described as a beautiful, bespoke homage to the owner's lifestyle and elegantly designed elements inside and outside made her a stunning yacht. I personally thank you for our collaboration with the owner and Frank Grzeszczak, FGI."

Following the success of Snow 5 and Starburst III, Camila strengthens Bilgin Yachts' reputation as a leader in bespoke superyacht construction. Her striking design and unparalleled craftsmanship ensure she will leave an indelible mark on the global stage.
