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 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 2021 and following that, the third hull of the model will be delivered to her owner in 2022. 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 2023. There is also an on-spec project of 74-meter superyacht construction coming along for 2022, 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.
H2 Yacht Design - Tatiana
"Tatiana has a stunning interior complementing the modern exterior lines": Jonny Horsfield, H2 Yacht Design
Tatiana is a result of a work with an emphasis on details with special and unique materials. Textures used in the living areas attract people from the first moment. The yacht owner is an extremely family oriented man, he loves to socialize with his family and friends and spends summer months on end on his yacht.
The client has been involved in the industry for years and has had several yachts so he knew exactly what to like and what not to like. He loves to entertain his family and friends to sit back and relax whilst cruising the Med. As a result of our works together, Tatiana appeared. This yacht is contemporary in layout with generous living areas, a huge spa and a beach club on the aft deck.
In general, on Bilgin 263 series, we have gone for a modern, detailed residential look, for a home away from home feel with all the facilities required to enjoy life on the ocean. The styling is aggressive and sleek which meant that the interior had to work within this footprint yet offer everything the client wished for. If we speak about Tatiana, the theme of the interior is based on a light but rich palette while the design is definitely crisp and contemporary in feel. There is an overall stunning interior that complements the modern exterior perfectly.
One of the main features of the interior has to be the stunning beach club. This is the epicentre of the yacht and is directly connected to the main salon via a dramatic staircase. With its 9m internal swimming pool, skylights pouring natural sunlight into the space, and all luxuries to entertain its guests including bar, sunbeds, hammam, and massage room. Emphasizing the close connection between interior spaces and the marine environment there are two large hull doors that open to reveal the sea beyond.
The Bilgin 263 offers accommodation for up to 14 guests; 8 suites comprising 1 owner cabin on the owners deck, 3 VIP cabins on the main deck and 4 guest cabins on the lower deck. She is also capable of carrying up to 23 crew on-board to ensure a high level of service and a relaxed luxury yacht experience.
Despite the demands of the client, H2 worked hard to create a functional experience and every room on board Bilgin 263 is generously sized and offers a true connection to the sea via multiple large windows.
The design can be described as layers of luxury modern. We wanted to achieve an open airy feel for a clean, sleek look. So the best option was to use light and textured luxury materials. With her sharp, crisp interior lines giving that feel of modernity we have made extensive use of a contrasting combination of rich Macassar veneer and a light eucalyptus, while a book match pattern and gloss finish give a luxurious feel. Combined with plenty of marble and touches of detail such as back light marble, 3D carved stone, and strong textures.
H2 had to translate the owner's wishes into comfortable, luxurious yet usable interiors. Timeless understatement is indeed the recurrent theme on board. The highlighted features of Tatiana are a private owners apartment on the top deck, a fully equipped gym, with sauna on the portside lower deck as well as a large movie theater. A private office is also found onboard, on the bridge deck while a stunning skylounge themed as a sport's bar has turned out to be an incredibly relaxing and socializing area.
Unique Yacht Design - Tatiana
"Tatiana is a trendsetter among her contemporaries": Emrecan ÖZGÜN - Unique Yacht Design and Naval Architecture
Bilgin 263 is truly one-of-a-kind with her design and comfort elements. We created a very attractive yacht with a sleek and sexy profile while avoiding a high dosage of design clichés. The increase in living areas normally results in bulky designs. The Bilgin 263 has a design attitude that will dominate the yachting sector around the world. This will clearly make her a trendsetter among steel-aluminum superyachts of today.
The owner of 80-metre Tatiana, namely NB75, is in love with sportive and contemporary lines while paying lots of attention to aesthetical details. From the very first meeting, we focused on creating a sport superyacht with elegant living areas. In fact, it was a challenge for us to design a yacht both sportive and masculine. We spent so many others working on the details in order to combine different features and make the owner feel home.
Bilgin 263 yachts are full of surprises inside and outside. Beach club which is connected to the main living room is very approachable as well as large enough for big gatherings. Tenders and sea toys are located on the front deck, this is how we managed to have a swimming pool with a 8.5-meter length and 1.4-metre depth.
As the size of a yacht gets bigger, it becomes a bit more difficult for the owner to feel connected to the sea. In order to avoid this, we used large windows, private terraces and outdoor socializing areas on the board of Bilgin 263. Each cabin of Tatiana now offers different perspectives to those who stay there.
Tatiana has a well-balanced and optimized superstructure which leads her to sail up to 19 knots with zero dynamic trim. This way, she will be a very economical yacht compared to her contemporaries. Additionally, while sailing at 12 knots speed with the power of 2,560 kW twin engines and a generator, the fuel consumption is around 250 liter per hour which we are used to seeing on a 40-metre yacht until now. So, Tatiana is a different and a brand-new concept not only with the design attitude but also with the performance.
