Bilgin Yachts and it’s shipyard are located in Turkey and is a family business started by Bilgin Senguin in the 50’s. Bilgin Yachts specializes in powerboats that are 25 to 45 meters long that utilize extremely customized exteriors and interiors. Up until the 1990’s the Bilgin shipyard specialized in building both motor sailers and sailing yachts. The Bilgin shipyard is run today by Bilgins own son Ismail, nephew Mehmet, and Yildirim Bilgin who joined the firm and is the Sales and relation Manager of the shipyard. The Bilgin shipyard is now producing the Tee-Dje superyacht.
The Bilgin 123 model motor yacht Tee-Dje is the shipyards latest design and incorporates a wide range of the latest technologies in comfort, performance, and style. The shipyards in-house design team designed the exterior of Tee-Dje super yacht, while the British firm H2 Yacht Design handled the interior and Septemar Yacht Furniture did the furnishings. The attention to detail is obvious from bow to stern, and one look at this remarkable watercraft and you know that it is something special. The first of these 36.5-meter motor yachts Noor was launched on June 3, 2010.
The 123 model Tee-Dje is constructed using cold moulded technology, and finished up with West Epoxy Fibre, while Awlgrip is used to complete the paint system. Everything about the design of the Tee-Dje screams performance, from the ultra sleek hull design to the aerodynamically constructed flying bridge all built using the cold moulded technology mentioned additional speed and performance due to the design is most certainly achievable. There is nothing at all about this hull design that even remotely reminds you of the motor yachts of yesteryear, so welcome to the 21st century.
The power behind the 123 model Tee-Dje is the twin 2400 HP MTU engines by Blue Line. These excellent engines allow for 20 knots of maximum speed with a cruising speed of 17 knots, and while this is not the fasted superyacht around it certainly can get from point a to point b quicker than most yachts on the water today. This beautiful craft also comes with the latest in navigation systems, fresh water maker, air-conditioning system, and an M9 TV satellite that also offers high-speed internet. All of these state of the art technologies give you the best in comfort, performance, and entertainment.
