Turkey-based Bilgin Yachts has launched what it claims to be the largest and most eco-friendly yacht in the country

Mar 7, 2020, 18:44 IST

The design of the boat uses accents of Macassar ebony, eucalyptus, and marble to increase the "luxurious" feel of the yacht, according to Bilgin.

It has two 2,560-kilowatt engines, allowing it to hit up to 20 knots.

It can cruise at 12 knots for 250 liters-per-hour.

The widest part of the yacht is 12.25 meters long, about 40.2 feet.

When it's at its full load, the Bilgin 263’s waterline length is 71.01 meters, about 232.97 feet.

The yacht — which has eight staterooms — can fit 12 guests and a crew of 25 people.

For its next project, Bilgin is also currently building an 85-meter, about 279-foot, yacht.
