Bilgin Brings 16-Yacht Construction Pipeline to Monaco 2026

Sixteen yachts currently in construction

Bilgin Yachts is using Monaco Yacht Show 2026 to present an order book that now includes 16 yachts under construction across several platforms. The Turkish yard says its current programme spans proven semi-custom series and larger owner-driven projects in the 50-to-120-metre segment.

The active portfolio includes the Bilgin 170 and Bilgin 163 series as well as larger projects such as the 74-metre Bilgin 243 and the 82-metre Project BOND. The latter is the largest yacht programme announced by Bilgin to date and provides a useful reference point for the yard’s move further into large custom construction.

52m, 54m and 74m platforms take focus

Bilgin says particular attention in Monaco will be given to its 52-metre, 54-metre and 74-metre projects. The yard describes these as platforms that retain substantial scope for customisation while giving clients a more defined technical starting point than a fully clean-sheet build.

The 52-metre programme is positioned around a balance of volume, performance and operational efficiency, while the 54-metre series adds more space without moving into the 60-metre-plus category. The 74-metre projects sit at the upper end of the yard’s current platform strategy with greater volume and long-range capability.

Recent deliveries support the expanded order book

Bilgin points to recent yachts including CAMILA from the Bilgin 163 series, TAMASHA from the Bilgin 170 platform and the 80-metre AL REEM as evidence of the yard’s current production range. Those completed projects sit alongside the growing construction pipeline rather than replacing it.

For buyers, the important distinction is between available build positions and projects already committed to owners. Bilgin says it will use Monaco to discuss its soonest-available projects and construction slots, but individual delivery timing will depend on the specific platform, specification and stage of build.

Monaco used to market capacity as well as yachts

The shipyard is exhibiting at QE20 on Quai des États-Unis from 23 to 26 September. Rather than relying on a single yacht premiere, Bilgin is presenting the breadth of its design, engineering and production programme as a commercial proposition in its own right.

That approach reflects the importance of build capacity in the current large-yacht market, where owners compare not only designs but also delivery windows, yard infrastructure and the ability to support complex customisation. Bilgin’s 16-yacht pipeline gives Monaco visitors a current measure of how much work is already moving through the yard.
