The second unit in Bilgin Yachts’ 52-metre Bilgin 170 series, NB83, has been launched in Antalya, Turkey. The yacht was sold in November 2023 to a first-time client and was last photographed on her arrival in Antalya for outfitting in June last year. According to BOATPro, delivery is scheduled for early 2026.
The semi-custom, steel and aluminium yacht is the result of a collaboration between Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design and Milanese interior designer Hot Lab. Based on Bilgin 163, the 52-metre model offers an identical layout with a more traditional bow design to improve exterior space.
The shipyard noted the similar exterior lines between the new build and its recently delivered Camila, yet highlighted the bespoke finishes and details of NB83, which have been shaped by the owner’s vision and executed with full creative freedom by the shipyard and designers.
“Our goal with the 170 series was to offer the exterior spaces typically found on 60-meter yachts within a sub-500 GT platform,” explained Özgün, founder of Unique Yacht Design. “NB83 is sleek, sexy, and modern. We focused on maximising the transition between luxury indoor and outdoor living, ensuring a design that remains contemporary and relevant even ten years from now.”
The yacht has been developed with an efficient displacement hull to deliver the attributes of the Bilgin 170 platform: optimised hydrodynamics, long-range capability and high levels of onboard comfort. NB83 follows the first from the series, the light brown-hulled Tamasha, which was launched in October.
