Bilgin Yachts, a prominent Turkish yard, is making waves in the superyacht arena by announcing the technical launch of the fourth yacht in the Bilgin 170 series. This news comes as a beacon of progress in the yacht building industry.
Designed under the watchful eyes of renowned Turkish studio Unique Yacht Design, the latest Bilgin 170, temporarily identified as NB85, draws inspiration from her “near sistership” Eternal Spark. The latter being another successful delivery by Bilgin Yachts, launched back in June 2024.
As with her predecessors, the same commitment to luxury and sophistication is evident. As evidenced by the full suite of interior renderings released by Fraser, the yacht brokerage firm handling her sale. The opulent master cabin includes an office, a full-height wardrobe, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular sea views.
Emerging in a blaze of intrigue from its shed in Lemwerder, Germany, the Lürssen-built superyacht Ace 21 has been sighted for the first time. Straddling the line between alluring secrecy and tantalising revelation, this 78-metre colossus was briefly transported between halls at the shipyard, preparing for the final stage of works anticipated for completion this year.
Ace 21, initially spotted in 2023 during her hull’s outfitting, has let slip bits of her design puzzle, featuring five decks marked by sterility and modernity, coupled with a stalwart plumb bow. While the architects remain unannounced, Ace 21 shows off a steel and aluminium structure powered with diesel propulsion, engendered with 2,500GT volume that testifies to Lürssen’s design gravitas.
