CAMILA’S GRAND REVEAL: BILGIN YACHTS UNVEILS LUXURIOUS 50M FLAGSHIP FROM ACCLAIMED 163 SERIES

Istanbul, Turkiye – February 2025 – Bilgin Yachts proudly introduces M/Y Camila, the latest and most refined addition to its celebrated Bilgin 163 series. Launched at the shipyard’s Istanbul facility, the 50-meter displacement yacht exemplifies the pinnacle of modern superyacht design and engineering, poised to turn heads as she debuts in the Mediterranean this summer.

Built with Bilgin's hallmark precision and passion, Camila is the result of a seamless collaboration between the yard, its trusted design partners, and a highly involved owner. The project features exterior styling and naval architecture by Unique Yacht Design, alongside interior design by the renowned Hot Lab studio.

“The launch of Camila reflects the culmination of our dedication to excellence and the synergy between our team and the owner,” said İsmail Şengün, CEO of Bilgin Yachts. “We’re thrilled to deliver a vessel that truly represents the best of Bilgin Yachts.”

With an LOA of 49.95 meters and a beam of 9.25 meters, Camila offers approximately 20% more space than a standard 48-meter yacht, elevating guest comfort and onboard versatility. Her steel hull and aluminum superstructure enable a robust yet elegant profile with a striking presence on the water.

Emrecan Özgün, founder of Unique Yacht Design, emphasized the fusion of sportiness and space:

“Her design is a testament to the art of blending functionality with beauty. Camila not only looks sleek, but she also offers expansive open areas for leisure and relaxation.”

Inside, Hot Lab has created a bespoke, sophisticated environment tailored to the owner’s lifestyle.

“Every element on board has been carefully crafted to offer both sophistication and comfort,” said Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab. “This is the second 50-meter yacht we have developed for Bilgin, and it represents a natural evolution of our design direction.”

Camila is powered by twin CAT C32 engines generating a combined 2,162 kW, offering a top speed of 16.5 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and an impressive range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed. Her gross tonnage of 499 GT and fuel capacity of 55,000 liters make her ideal for extended voyages.

Key project stakeholder Frank Grzeszczak Jr., Vice President of FGI Yacht Group, remarked:

“This has been an exceptional journey. It’s been an honor to align Bilgin Shipyard with a passionate and experienced client. Camila will surely make waves in the Med this summer.”

Berkay Yılmaz, Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, added:

“Camila is another stunning testament to Bilgin’s craftsmanship. Her elegant lines, custom interiors, and meticulous detailing represent a perfect blend of aesthetics and performance. She’s destined to be an icon in US waters and beyond.”

Following the global success of Snow 5 and Starburst III, Camila further solidifies Bilgin Yachts’ position as a world leader in bespoke superyacht construction, offering innovation, luxury, and unforgettable experiences at sea.
