Bilgin Yachts has unveiled their lineup for the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, featuring two remarkable world premieres: the 263ft (80m) LEONA and the 138ft (42m) KAŞIF.
LEONA, boasting a striking red and white exterior, was delivered earlier this year and represents the culmination of a collaborative effort between Bilgin Yachts, Unique Yacht Design for naval architecture, and H2 Yacht Design for both the yacht’s exteriors and interiors.
Sencer Güner, Operations Director at Bilgin Yachts, oversaw the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in LEONA’s construction. Notably, the focus on the main engine and auxiliary equipment has paid off, as LEONA exhibits exceptional performance. She proudly bears the COMF+ (Y) notation, a testament to her quality and comfort. LEONA incorporates numerous eco-friendly enhancements, including a specialized exhaust system ensuring 100% clean air emissions, two powerful 2,560 kW engines capable of reaching a top speed of 19 knots, and eco cruising capabilities.
The yard’s newest explorer yacht, KAŞIF, marks a significant milestone as the first yacht to be completed at Bilgin Yachts’ Antalya facility. Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design, responsible for the exteriors, describes KAŞIF as the epitome of an explorer yacht, engineered for outstanding maritime performance. With minimal fuel consumption, KAŞIF achieves impressive speeds, setting new industry standards. Enrico Lumini of Hot Lab designed the yacht’s interiors in a modern yet timeless style, reflecting the owner’s passions and aesthetics, creating a harmonious connection between the yacht’s interiors and exteriors. As a true explorer yacht, KAŞIF boasts an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots.
Both LEONA and KAŞIF will be available for viewing throughout the Monaco Yacht Show, scheduled from September 27 to 30.
