Bilgin Yacht projects coming in 2019: Bilgin 156, 220 and 263
As we move into the New Year, Bilgin Yachts is full of new ideas and hopes to bring yacht owners an ever better home - life at sea. While owners sail merrily across the seven seas, the shipyard works with world - renown designers to help loyal clients live their own dreams to the full.
Bilgin Yachts has been creating three new projects lately: Bilgin 156, 220 and 263.
The Bilgin 156 - II has the similar features with 47.5 - metre Nerissa that had debut during 2017 Monaco Yacht Show. The yacht is named as Lilium since it reflects the simplicity and minimalism in its design consisting of light colors, satin - gold tones while the use of black marble creates a contrast. The newest project Bilgin 220 has the length of 67 metre. Being under construction in Yalova, the yacht will bear masculine lines in its interior and exterior designs which fit in its performance up to 17 knots. Last but not least, the 80 - metre Bilgin 263 I and II are getting ready in the shipyard’s newest facility West Istanbul Marina. The first unit - also the largest Bilgin yacht up to date - will be launched in 2019.
“A genuine sense of long - term comfort on board” H2 Yacht Design
Having worked with the Bilgin Yacht’s build team previously on projects such as Nerissa, Giaola - Lu and M, the H2 Yacht Design Team thinks that design in the superyacht sector is always changing, and new and exciting lifestyle demands are driving that const ant shift. In their statement, they mention that it is a pleasure to work with Bilgin that actively looks to evolve with each project and they add, “we are particularly excited to bring the 80 - metre 263 to the water next year; a project which has been a re al journey for the team at H2 Yacht Design. We can’t say much about the project itself, but we can offer an insight into the lifestyle as a whole. The goal was to offer guests the absolute, not only in terms of space, light and style but a genuine sense of long - term comfort on board. An 80 - metre is built to spend serious time at sea, so the interior and the experience becomes integral.”
“Freshness of the exterior area to the interior” Unique Yacht Design

“Contemporary materials have different forms due to the technological developments. I highly believe that, we will see more futuristic designs in the coming year,” says İlkan Dovan, from Bilgin Yacht’s design team.
She describes the interior living areas o f Lilium as silky look with eucalyptus veneer, while saying that the yacht is the living form of a sunny and happy day. According to her, more daylight will design the design elements in future as it does in the main room and cabins of Lilium.

He states that Lilium will be seens as a timeless yacht thanks to the eucalyptus coating, brass and bronze mirrors.
