Bilgin wants to brighten up your next ocean adventure.
The Turkish yard just announced that the 163-foot Eternal Spark is available for charter. The superyacht was launched from Bilgin’s headquarters at the West Istanbul Marina this past February, following a meticulous three-year build. It is now ready to take you on far-flung adventures for about $374,500 a week.
“Eternal Spark was designed to provide unparalleled comfort and relaxation for all guests, whether they are from Turkey, the United States, Europe, Asia, or China,” yacht manager Matija Longin said in a statement.
Eternal Spark is the first Bilgin 163 the yard has delivered. The model is well-suited to charter, with a generous interior volume of 499 GT, a spacious layout, and expansive outdoor decks. Penned by Unique Yacht Design, the sleek and sporty exterior pairs a sturdy steel hull with a lightweight aluminum superstructure. The yacht also features four sizable decks yet doesn’t appear to be too bulky.
The interior, designed by renowned Milanese firm Hot Lab, showcases more than 200 different materials but a clean, contemporary aesthetic. As head of design Enrico Lumini puts it, “a plastic minimalism, sober, but rich in details.” The layout includes six cabins for 12 guests, though more than a hundred people can join for parties. There is also space for 10 crew, so you won’t have to lift a finger.
An entertainer’s dream, the vessel offers five bars, seven distinct socializing areas, an indoor and an outdoor cinema, a huge Jacuzzi, and a large beach club with a sauna. Other highlights include a fully equipped gym, a hydraulic swim platform, and a custom chase boat.
The Bilgin 163 is no slouch, either. Powered by twin 1,450 CAT engines, the yacht has a top speed of approximately 17 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and a range of 5,000 nautical miles. You can also expect low operational costs, according to Bilgin.
“Eternal Spark is everything and more than described in the brochure,” adds Bilgin’s commercial director Berkay Yılmaz. “A superbly designed charter vessel with plenty of spaces to enjoy whatever the day delivers.”
Eternal Spark is available for the 2024 charter season and will premiere at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show in September.
