Captured against the backdrop of Istanbul’s coastline, the video features the bold styling and expansive spaces of the second hull in the Bilgin 163 series. The video signals a key moment for the shipyard as they build on the success of previous projects.
A Contemporary Silhouette
Designed by Unique Yacht Design, Camila features a sporty, sculpted silhouette paired with a layout that maximizes both style and functionality. The 50-meter length and 9.25-meter beam of the superyacht create generous deck areas and a distinctive profile that sets her apart in her size class. Emrecan Özgün, founder of Unique Yacht Design, highlighted the yacht’s impressive 20% increase in guest areas compared to similar 48-meter models, stating, “Her design is a careful balance of functionality and beauty.”
The yacht’s displacement hull is constructed in steel with an aluminum superstructure, giving her a full-load displacement of 495 tons and a gross tonnage just shy of 500GT. With a draft of 2.60 meters, Camila is capable of accessing a wide range of cruising grounds, from secluded bays to bustling ports.
Tailored Interiors for a Lifestyle at Sea
Hot Lab was entrusted with crafting the interior design onboard the motor yacht, continuing the studio’s long-standing collaboration with Bilgin. Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab, described Camila as an evolution of the studio’s approach for Bilgin: “Every detail on board has been thoughtfully curated to offer a sense of understated luxury and tailored comfort. The result is an interior that mirrors the sophistication of the exterior while elevating the onboard lifestyle.”
Interiors have been described as a beautiful, bespoke homage to the owner’s lifestyle and elegantly designed elements inside and outside made her a stunning yacht."

Throughout Camila, the interiors reflect a bespoke approach, with each space designed to suit the lifestyle of her experienced owner. From the airy main saloon to the meticulously detailed guest suites, the yacht balances a sense of warmth with clean, contemporary lines. The generous beach club, expansive sun decks, and thoughtfully arranged social areas further enhance the onboard experience.
Performance and Range for Global Cruising
Camila is powered by twin 1,450hp Caterpillar C32 engines, delivering a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. With a fuel capacity of 55,000 liters and an approximate range of 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed, Camila is well-suited for long passages and extended stays on board.
Whether hosting guests for a Mediterranean season or embarking on an ocean-crossing voyage, the yacht offers the range, stability, and comfort expected of a true ocean-going superyacht.
Crafting Camila: A Collaboration Between Owner and Shipyard
The project brought together an experienced owner, Bilgin Yachts, and key industry players such as Frank Grzeszczak Jr., Vice President of FGI Yacht Group, who played a pivotal role in aligning the owner’s vision with the shipyard’s expertise.
Grzeszczak described the process as an “exceptional experience” and shared his pride in seeing Camila prepare for her Mediterranean debut. Berkay Yılmaz, Commercial Director of Bilgin Yachts, also praised the collaboration, noting how the owner’s involvement with the design team at Hot Lab helped shape the yacht’s bespoke character.
Following the successful launches of her sistership Eternal Spark and Starburst III, Camila continues Bilgin Yachts’ focus on custom superyacht construction, showcasing thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship suited for a global audience.
