We are delighted to announce that 50m motor yacht Eternal Spark by Bilgin Yachts is now available for charter. This exceptional yacht was specifically built for the charter market, to offer unprecedented comfort and relaxation for all guests, whether they are from the United States, Europe or Asia.
The exterior design and naval architecture were masterfully created by Unique Yacht Design, while the interior design was expertly handled by Hot Lab. This collaboration has resulted in a harmonious fusion of aesthetics and functionality. Emrecan Özgün, CEO of Unique Yacht Design, highlights the innovative features of Eternal Spark from their latest semi-custom series: “Our design focus centers on creating expansive, sheltered open decks, as demonstrated by the 499 GT platforms. These yachts, exemplified by a superbly designed charter vessel in our range, offer an outstanding layout with ample spaces to enjoy daily activities. With a sleek, sporty, and elegant exterior, Bilgin 163 series yachts boast extensive exterior areas, including a vast beach club complemented by a sauna. We aimed to create generous areas such as a 21-meter sundeck, a 12-meter bridge deck aft, and a spacious main deck aft, measuring nearly 9.5 meters wide and 4 meters long. This provides a direct connection to the beach club and close proximity to the sea, all without making the exterior design appear bulky.”
Eternal Spark’s modern design caters to every desire. Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab, describes the yacht as follows: “Bilgin 163 follows the studio’s new philosophy ‘Architecture for Voyagers’ and focuses on cleanliness of architectural volumes and a renewed sense for softness of lines. A plastic minimalism, sober but rich in details.” Constructed using over 200 different materials, the yacht features top-tier amenities and cutting-edge entertainment technology, distinguishing her from other yachts in her class.
The yacht includes six guest cabins that can accommodate 12 guests, alongside six outdoor and three indoor socializing areas, and an array of unique amenities, making her an unparalleled charter option. Notable features include outdoor and indoor cinemas, a substantial 5,000-liter Jacuzzi pool on the sun deck, and a beach club focused on spa experiences. The transformer swimming platform provides easy sea access, making her perfect for charter guests seeking both adventure and relaxation. A charter of ten days on Eternal Spark wouldn’t be enough to encounter all she has to deliver to her clients.
Berkay Yılmaz, the Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, describes the interior of the new Bilgin 163 as modern, luxurious, and elegant. He says, “Eternal Spark is everything and more than described in the brochure! A superbly designed charter vessel with plenty of spaces to enjoy whatever the day delivers. She has a sleek, sporty, and elegant exterior design with huge exterior spaces throughout the vessel, including a large beach club with a sauna. I believe that she will offer the best experiences to her charter clients and is the best charter yacht on the market.” Yılmaz highlights that the yacht is the most technically advanced 499 GRT vessel, on par with Bilgin Yachts’ renowned 80-meter superyachts M/Y Tatiana and M/Y Leona.
“I am truly happy and proud to have successfully completed the construction of our yacht. This project, the first in our 50-meter series, stands out with its much larger and more spacious usage areas compared to its peers,” adds Senior Project Manager Halil Uzunbabalar. He highlights that, contrary to other shipyards that no longer manufacture detailed furniture, Bilgin continues to uphold this tradition, showcasing it beautifully in this project. “The meticulously designed and crafted furniture elevates the yacht’s luxury and comfort. Our large living and entertainment areas on the open decks provide magnificent spaces where everyone can comfortably spend time independently and enjoy the sea. The combination of the beach club at the back with the swimming platform and sauna offers a very spacious area for use while at anchor. Additionally, we achieved top-level quality in our technical areas by using the best materials and the latest technologies for the yacht’s performance and safety. I want to thank our entire team who contributed to this project and our clients who trusted us. We wish our yacht to bring delightful moments to its owner during its adventures on the seas.”
Matija Longin, manager of Eternal Spark, reflects on the intricate process of building the vessel, expressing, “It’s been almost three years now, and every single day you are doing something on, and around that beautiful vessel. She is unique and beautiful. Aroused from continued dialogue with yachting industry leaders and professionals, our returning clients, and travel enthusiasts, Eternal Spark seeks to satisfy the most demanding cultures, emotions, and charter expectations. Six cabins for twelve guests, ten crew, four decks, five separated bars, seven divided socializing areas, ability to host over a hundred people for stationary parties, vast storage spaces, gymnasium equipment, full indoor and outdoor cinema, custom-built chase boat… You name it! I can’t say more than to invite you on board to explore and enjoy by yourself!”
