Construction on Bilgin Yachts’ largest vessel to date, the 80-metre motor yacht 263 series, is well underway at the Turkish shipyard’s facility in West Istanbul Marina. Outfitting for the two sister yachts Bilgin 263 I and Bilgin 236 II is has begun following the completion of the first and second hulls. 
The interior of the Bilgin 263 I will feature neutral and bright tones throughout its living areas, with the second hull featuring warmer tones. “Both the exterior and interior areas of the Bilgin 263 are full of surprises. To me, the most attractive area is the beach club itself,” said Emrecan Öztürk, CEO of Unique Yacht Design. “While designing the yacht, we placed all the tenders and sea toys in the front deck. This is how we managed to connect the beach club with the main saloon.”
“The Bilgin 263 will differentiate herself from her predecessors. The superyacht's form is optimised well,” added Öztürk. “With two 2,560 kW engines, she will speed up to 20 knots, while a cruising speed of 12 knots will keep her fuel consumption at 250 l/h. She is built in compliance with IMO Tier III certification and is supposed to be the most environmental yacht in her class.”
