Exterior designer Emrecan Özgün has used the Bilgin 163 as inspiration to create a larger and more traditional bow shape to enhance the deck spaces. According to Özgün, “The primary goal during the design process was to optimize the 50-meter models, achieving a sportier and more masculine look while blending the design seamlessly to offer customers the ability to utilize both open and enclosed spaces under 500 gross tons. This focus on functionality and aesthetics has resulted in a yacht that truly stands out from the crowd.”
