A new ripple is forming on the surface of the superyacht scene with the unveiling of ‘Glide’, a 42-metre motor yacht concept generated from the youthful Parisian brains behind Aeri Studio. Led by studio founder Julien Cadro, this innovative design aims to shake the foundations of conventional yacht planning, promising a taste of ‘radical openness and a deeply human approach’ to life on board.
Constructed to bypass the customary ‘compartmentalisation’ that often characterises yachts of this calibre, Glide seems to paint a picture of life at sea in broad, fluid strokes—rooms no longer feel ‘predictable’. The 42-metre (with a volume of sub-500GT) blueprint has been shaped around the core concept of elasticity and continuousness.
In a glamorous display of maritime excellence, Bilgin Yachts, the renowned Turkish shipyard, has unveiled the first ship in its Bilgin 170 series, deemed Tamasha. A collaborative blueprint by Unique Yacht Design and Hot Lab, Tamasha’s design draws inspiration from the Bilgin 163 series, with a significant model being the 50-meter Eternal Spark launched last year.
Following the launch, Tamasha was transported to the West Istanbul Marina for the final outfitting processes. The event, beyond being a mere launch, marked a proud milestone for the Bilgin family and represented the commencement of Tamasha’s legacy. Tamasha’s launch epitomised the grace, grandeur, and the iterative passion and diligence of the Bilgin team.
