Turkish shipyard Bilgin Yachts has officially delivered the 49.9-metre Camila, the second hull in its Bilgin 163 series. The delivery took place at the yard’s Istanbul facility and follows the 2023 sale to a seasoned U.S.-based owner, brokered by FGI Yacht Group and Bilgin’s Commercial Director Berkay Yılmaz.
With exterior design by longtime partner Unique Yacht Design, Camila carries the same sleek, sporty DNA as her sistership Eternal Spark, which made her global debut at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show. Designer Emrecan Özgün emphasized Camila’s expansive outdoor zones, including a 21-metre-long sundeck and 12-metre bridge deck aft, all contributing to her distinctive, performance-oriented aesthetic.
Italian Elegance Meets Turkish Craftsmanship
Interior design comes from Hot Lab, with Enrico Lumini describing the style as “modern, rich, yet warm,” created using a refined palette of champagne, cream, and pearl grey tones. Key materials include exposed woods, meshed laminated glass, and luxe Italian fabrics—all used to blur the lines between spaces in a soft, architectural flow.
Special design features include:
- A floating staircase
- A skylight on the sundeck
- A dramatic chandelier in the main lobby
- Full-height glass walls and low bulwarks for seamless sea views
According to Yılmaz, generous headroom and ample natural light create an open and inviting onboard atmosphere.
Built for Leisure and Style
Camila boasts a six-cabin layout, including a luxurious owner’s suite and expansive guest areas. The yacht’s beach club, high-volume design, and open-plan social spaces reflect a strong focus on comfort and entertainment.
“We take immense pride in seeing this project come to fruition,” said Yılmaz. “The distinctive elegance of Camila will undoubtedly capture attention wherever she goes.”
Bilgin Yachts continues to grow its global footprint, with 13 yachts currently under construction, including the impressive 86-metre Bilgin 282, and the recent launch of Al Reem in December 2024.
📍 Camila is expected to cruise extensively in U.S. waters, representing another milestone in Bilgin Yachts’ expanding international reach.
