The inaugural vessel in the Bilgin 170 yacht series was recently moved to its outfitting shed, giving a sneak peek at what is anticipated to be a highly successful line of yachts. With similarities to the Bilgin 163 project, the 171-footer (52-meter) promises familiarity and convenience for customers. Collaborating with Unique Yacht Design and Hot Lab, the shipyard has incorporated their expertise into this larger yacht, boasting features such as a spacious master suite on the bridge deck and an exceptionally generous sundeck complete with a hot tub for eight, a dining area for 12, and a bar.
Furthermore, the expansive areas also encompass the al-fresco area on the bridge deck. In this regard, the Bilgin 170 surpasses its predecessor, the 163, by an additional five feet (1.5 meters). Although the size difference may appear modest, the beach club is also notably enhanced. It features windows on all three retractable platforms, allowing owners and guests to enjoy it as a fully enclosed space, as opposed to solely an outdoor lounge.
Lastly, the yacht boasts a larger and less-flared bow, providing ample room for the rescue tender and water toys.
Delivery of the first Bilgin 170 takes place by the end of this year. Meanwhile, a second hull is in build, set for delivery in early 2025.
