Unique Yacht Design has developed the new Bilgin 156, with the company taking care of the exterior design and naval architecture of the yacht. The vessel will not exceed the 500GT mark, and is designed with clean exterior lines, portraying a classic and timeless appearance. Her large exterior deck spaces have been utilized to offer a wide array of guest pleasing amenities, such as two Jacuzzis; one on sundeck and another on the forward bridge deck.

A large 60m2 beach deck is on offer once the transom door has been opened, consisting of a comfortable interior lounge area that blends seamlessly with the exterior deck.

H2 Yacht Design created the interior areas and opted for a four larger-cabin layout instead of five cabins that offer less space. She sleeps 10 guests in a highly modern interior that features subtle classy touches such as the use of altering variants of woods and precious metals.
