Bilgin Yachts relocated the steel-aluminium hull of Project 243 to the outfitting hall near Istanbul. The yacht is still without an owner.

The five-decker, which is 13.15 metres wide and displaces 1328 tonnes, was designed by Unique Yacht Design from Antalya. The layout is to be based on the 80 metre long Bilgin construction "Tatiana" (issue 1/21). Bilgin is planning delivery for 2024, when two 1920-kilowatt engines will accelerate to 17.5 knots. Before then, an owner still needs to be found for the 73.60 metre yacht, who still has a free choice of interior design. Like 90 per cent of all work, the Turkish shipyard is carrying out the interior outfitting itself. Bilgin Yachts employs 400 people at two locations. Since 2017, the outfitting halls and headquarters have been spread over 10,000 square metres in the West Istanbul Marina, which is just 40 minutes from the airport.
