Fraser Yachts Bilgin NB85 completes technical launch

Based on the yard’s highly proven semi-custom series, with sisterships nominated for awards and proven charter success, BILGIN NB85 offers a rapid delivery time of just 18 months from contract signing – one of the fastest delivery schedules in this class.
The exterior design and engineering of the 52-meter series features a highly efficient hull form by Unique Yacht Design, as well as approximately 20% more usable space than other yachts in this size range. The future Owner has the rare opportunity to customize the interior design, layout configuration and the exterior color scheme. Interior design by Hot Lab is included within the price.
Bilgin comes with a century-old legacy of continuous family-run expertise in building fully customized superyachts, performing 90% of its work in-house and bearing the hallmark of quality embodied by the “Made in Turkiye” label. It was recently named Türkiye’s top exporter (24M+ category) at the “Award on Water” ceremony by the Ship, Yacht and Services Exporters’ Association GYHIB.
BILGIN NB85 is for sale with Fraser Brokers Jan Jaap Minnema and Josh Gulbranson.
Jan Jaap and Josh commented: “We are excited to see this milestone for NB85 achieved by the skilled team at Bilgin. One of today’s premium shipyards, Bilgin has consistently proven the success and reliability of the semi-custom series with yachts that meet and exceed the expectations of today’s Buyers. For quality, delivery time and Buyer input, Bilgin surpasses competitors in the market space. The Fraser management team is ready to assist with the completion of NB85, and we look forward to seeing the yacht delivered.”
Berkay Yilmaz, Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, said: “NB85 benefits from our in-house expertise and the proven engineering of the Bilgin 170 platform. With Fraser Yachts now introducing her to the market, we look forward to completing the build with flexibility for a future owner and to successfully delivering this new build in close collaboration with Fraser.”
