Bilgin Yachts Sign 80-meter Superyacht Contract


 A couple a months ago Bilgin delivered their largest yacht, the 50-meter "Dusur". Fast forward to today, we learn that the Turkey-based company has landed themselves a mega contract in the form of an 80-meter superyacht which will now take over expressly as their largest commission so far. The design of the superyacht is coming from Unique Yacht Design and being built for a Bilgin Yacht repeat client. Its a fairly fancy yacht for Bilgin and will be their crowning jewel when she is anticipated for delivery in 2019.

The sleek superyacht will have emphasis on outdoor living with plans put in place for extensive lounging areas. Water will never be far away as the yacht design boasts two large pools. The aft main deck has a large pool flanked by sunpads while on the lower deck below -almost directly below-, is another pool in the beach club. If you like steaming off in the jacuzzi, you may journey to the forward end of the fourth deck. Top speed is envisioned to be in the region of 18-knots and she will be classed ABS and be LY3 compliant. We will keep an eye on this one as the build progresses.
