Generation at Work

Luxury yachts populate a world in which quality is never a question, and therefore tend to set themselves apart through the merits of design and craftsmanship rather than the details of engine operations.

The artisan’s touch is a major part of that attention to detail. With that in mind, Bilgin has worked hard to keep much of its manufacturing in-house, using direct employees to perform approximately 90 percent of all construction and finishing work, with the remainder provided by a small group of longtime subcontractors. In its 5,000-m² marine furniture facility, more than 300 talented woodworkers – some of whom have been with the company for decades – use age-old skills to bring the touch of the craftsman’s hand even to futuristic vessels.
