Bilgin Yachts handed over "Tamasha" to the owner at the beginning of May 2026. The 52-metre yacht was launched in October 2025 and is the first unit in the new Bilgin 170 series. After delivery, the yacht will begin her maiden voyage through the Mediterranean. She will spend the coming months sailing in the Aegean and neighbouring waters.
"Tamsha" was created in close collaboration between the shipyard and the owner. Unique Yacht Design developed the exterior lines with a striking bow shape and sporty silhouette. The light brown hull is a first for the shipyard. Hot Lab designed the interior with generous volumes and plenty of daylight. First pictures of "Al Reem".
5,000 nautical miles range
Emrecan Özgün from Unique Yacht Design explains the concept: "The vision was to create a yacht that is both a personal statement and a social meeting place. Every line and every space was tailored to the owner's lifestyle. The focus was on spacious areas for entertaining and socialising, life on board is closely linked to the sea."
The yacht combines a steel hull with aluminium superstructure and is a solid basis for stability and performance. The maximum speed is 16 knots and the cruising speed is 12 knots. The tank holds 55,000 litres of diesel, the fresh water capacity is 11,000 litres. Range: 5,000 nautical miles. Curtain up for the 80 metre "Leona".
Seven further orders
"In terms of working with the shipyard team, this was one of the best projects of my life," says Nikolay Kondratiev, owner's representative.
We were able to deliver the best yacht Bilgin has ever built on a 50-metre platform."
The delivery of "Tamasha" marks the start of a growth phase for Bilgin Yachts. The shipyard is registering strong interest in the 52 metre series, with a total of seven orders for the Bilgin 170. The shipyard employs over 1,000 skilled workers and produces 90 per cent of its work in-house. The five production facilities cover an area of more than 79,450 square metres.
