Turkish builder Bilgin Yachts has a number of projects working on at the moment and one of them is a 48-meter luxury yacht. As far as we know this yacht is being built on spec with no owner as yet.
The hull and superstructure have been completed and are together allowing them to technically launch the yacht in preparation for further construction and start the fit-out process. The next time we hear about this particular yacht is late 2016 when she is anticipated to launch (for real). Delivery is expected for 2017, perhaps in the first half of that year.
The design and Naval Architecture of the yacht is by Unique Yacht Design while the interior is the work of H2 Yacht Design. The general use of white stones for the flooring in many of the spaces coupled with the light tones and large windows create a sense of spaciousness. The Bilgin 156 as it is referred to, will be sleeping twelve guests in five cabins. The owner's suite is going to be forward on the main deck while the other guest cabins, two VIPs and two doubles, are all on the lower deck.
It is well known that financial problems struck the Dutch pocket-yacht builder Moonen causing them to shut-down operations. Great news now fills the air with the formal announcement on November 20th that the yard has resumed work. The Moonen 'Matica' is part of the Moonen Caribbean range of yachts the yard announced nearly 2 years ago. The 'Martinique' hull is also well advanced and is reportedly 90-percent completed and is presently up for sale. Any one can have her and still make interior alterations and have her delivered by the Spring of 2017.
In a statement recently released it said in part, "Moonen Shipyards has built many award-winning motoryachts over the decades but Saturday 14 November 2015 may well go down as one of the most pivotal moments in the yard’s distinguished history,” the statement reads. “As the hull and superstructure of the 30 meter motoryacht Matica were joined together, it symbolized the unity and determination to see the yard come out of its recent financial turmoil and regain its place as a leading exponent of premium quality yachts."
