Bilgin Yachts

History of the company

Bilgin Yachts is one of the oldest shipbuilders in Turkey. The company has a long history and rich traditions. It comes from the vicinity of Uskudar, where master Hüseyin built his first boats in the 1900s. After Hüseyin's death in the war, business passed to his son Mustafa Sengün, who in turn passed on the business to his children.

The company has always monitored market trends, in the 70's the manufacturer focused on boats in the segment of 10-20 meters, and by the 90's model range was expanded to include larger vessels. Despite its respectable age, Bilgin Yachts entered the international arena only in 2002 and immediately gained popularity.
