Step aboard and time changes. Each interior begins with a single question: how should the ocean feel from inside? The answer varies with every commission — but the standard never does.

Our interior design team works alongside our engineering division, ensuring that beauty and structure are resolved together — never one after the other.

Craftsman at work

Our master craftsmen in Istanbul have refined the art of superyacht construction across three generations. The Bilgin shipyard on the Bosphorus is where precision engineering meets old-world artisanship.

Only the finest materials are considered — and most are rejected. The wood that lines our salons is hand-selected. The joinery executed to tolerances of less than a millimeter.

Istanbul shipyard

Three generations
of maritime mastery.

1938 The Bilgin shipyard opens on the banks of the Golden Horn, Istanbul.
1972 First international commission — a 42 m vessel for a European collector.
2001 Launch of the Bilgin 156 at 47 m, establishing a new standard for Turkish shipbuilding.
2019 Delivery of the Bilgin 263 — at 80 m, the largest superyacht ever built in Turkey.

Since 1938, the Bilgin family has worked from the shores of the Bosphorus — where East meets West and the ancient meets the modern. Every vessel we build carries that spirit: a commitment to craft that does not compromise, a vision that does not follow trends, and a belief that the best work is always built to last.
