Bilgin Yachts
Family-owned Istanbul builder that moved from 30–50m yachts into the 80m bracket with the Bilgin 263 series, starting with Tatiana in 2020. Hulls are built at Yalova and outfitted at West Istanbul Marina, with around 90% of work done in-house; an 86m Bilgin 282 and a run of 50–53m series hulls are in build.
