The 50m Bilgin 163 ETERNAL SPARK has officially hit the water in Istanbul, an exceptional moment for Bilgin Yachts as she marks its first launch of 2024. She is a remarkably stunning vessel that boasts a range of show-stopping features, from beautiful design elements to an abundance of amenities.

ETERNAL SPARK is a 50m motor yacht that showcases a new level of luxury and innovation whilst acting as a testament to Bilgin Yachts’ dedication to excellence. Highly enthusiastic about the launch, İsmail Şengün, CEO at Bilgin Yachts, commented: ‘I am proud of our team's dedication and the exceptional results achieved. Looking ahead, we are focused on a future of continued success and innovation.’

Unique Yacht Design is responsible for both her exterior design and naval architecture, whilst her beautiful interiors are penned by Hot Lab. She embodies a harmonious fusion of aesthetics and functionality, her interiors boasting modernity, luxury and unparalleled elegance. 

Berkay Yılmaz, the Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, commented: ‘A superbly designed charter vessel, and a great layout with plenty spaces to enjoy whatever the day delivers. She has a sleek, sporty and elegant exterior design with huge exterior space throughout the vessel including large beach club with sauna included.’

Upholding similar standards to Bilgin’s iconic 80m vessels TATIANA and LEONA, ETERNAL SPARK boasts the title of being the most technically equipped 499 GT yacht.

Her build process was highly intricate, meticulously designed to ensure the highest possible standards onboard. Matija Longin, Manager of ETERNAL SPARK, commented: ‘For nearly three years now, each day has been dedicated to refining and perfecting every aspect of this magnificent creation. When she finally emerged in the daylight, the experience was truly otherworldly. Surrounded by the dedicated individuals who poured their hearts into her construction, we stood in awe, witnessing the culmination of our labor, filled with boundless joy and pride.’

She is able to accommodate 12 guests across six cabins alongside 10 crew members, featuring four decks, five separated bars and seven divided socialising areas: the perfect vessel for entertainment, able to host over a hundred people at anchor. Guests on board are presented with limitless opportunities, as ETERNAL SPARK boasts a plethora of amenities to cater to every desire. She boasts gym equipment, an indoor and outdoor cinema, and an expansive toy box, which includes a custom chase boat. 

Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab, commented: ‘Bilgin 163 follows the studio’s new philosophy ‘Architecture for Voyagers’ and focuses on cleanliness of architectural volumes, and a renewed sense for a softness of lines. A plastic minimalism, sober, but rich in details.’

ETERNAL SPARK boasts a range of stand-out features, including some truly extraordinary design elements such as a full-height glass wall that divides the lobby from the main living room, a floating staircase, and a show-stopping chandelier in the main lobby. 

She boasts a top speed of 17 knots with low operational costs, powered by twin 1,450 CAT engines. This exciting vessel is set to stun the superyacht industry at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, where she will make her premiere, unveiled to the industry as a masterpiece of engineering and design.
