Crafting Timeless Masterpieces on the Seas

The story of Bilgin Yachts is one of passion, craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to excellence. With a legacy spanning over a century, Bilgin Yachts firmly established itself as a distinguished shipyard in Türkiye. From its humble beginnings in the early 1900s to its present-day achievements, the shipyard has continuously pushed boundaries, creating bespoke yachts that embody the epitome of luxury and sophistication.

Rooted in a Family Tradition

Bilgin Yachts’ journey started with Hüseyin Bey, who had a boathouse in Salacak, Istanbul. Following his footsteps, his son, Mustafa Dede, known as Topik, continued the family legacy in a shipyard near the Golden Horn. In 1957, Hüseyin Şengün established a private workshop in Ayvansaray, marking a pivotal moment in the shipyard’s history. The torch was then passed on to Hüseyin Şengün’s sons, Bilgin Şengün and Mustafa Şengün, who joined their father in the pursuit of boat-building excellence.

From the 1960s onwards, the Bilgin family focused on handcrafting boats, dedicating themselves to the art of shipbuilding. The shipyard’s dedication and passion for its craft culminated in 1984 when it launched its first 18-meter motor yacht. Over the years, the family’s expertise grew, and by 1995, they had gained valuable experience in producing yachts ranging from 18 to 22 meters.

In 2002, Bilgin Yachts made its mark on the global stage with the first international sale to a Russian yacht owner, solidifying its position as a prominent player in the industry. The shipyard’s reputation grew even further with notable deliveries, including the Aleksandros to a Greek owner in 2005. The demand for Bilgin Yachts’ craftsmanship soared, attracting clients from the UK, the USA, and France.

Throughout its journey, Bilgin Yachts has celebrated numerous milestones. Notable achievements include the launch of the 33.50-meter motor yacht MADNESS in 2010, solidifying Bilgin Yachts as the third-largest yacht builder in Turkey. The 45-meter TATIANA superyacht’s launch in 2011 garnered acclaim, and M/Y RL NOOR received the prestigious Best Interior Design Award.

The shipyard’s commitment to innovation and design excellence continued to be recognized with awards such as the Cannes Yachting Festival’s award for Bilgin 160 Classic M&M (M/Y TIMELESS) in 2012. Bilgin Yachts collaborated with H2 Yacht Design of London in 2014, launching the 45-meter ELADA, showcasing the shipyard’s dedication to pushing boundaries.
