Elada is an Eye-Catching 45-Meter Superyacht by Bilgin Yachts

By Brody Patterson

Updated on August 31, 2017

Elada is a 45-meter semi-displacement yacht built by Turkish shipyard Bilgin Yachts, with interior and exterior design by H2 Yacht Design. Ordered back in 2012 and launched earlier this year, her distinguishing feature is the unusual reserve bow.

The eye-catching vessel is not only remarkable due to her exterior lines, but also thanks to her light blue elements, which give her a very cool and elegant look. Other prominent features include the folding transom door with access to a large beach club and the ample amount of space offered, making the exterior a perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxation.

Elada ’s interiors are just as welcoming: a blend of classic and modern, with more of an emphasis of the traditional. Luxurious details and high-end materials (pelisandro, beli, madrano burl, imbuya pomela, ebony macassar, wenge, backlit honey onyx, and backlit wild agate) create a warm and comfortable space guests will feel right at home in. Speaking of guests, six well-appointed cabins serve as accommodations for up to 12 people.

Delivered, as we’ve mentioned above, earlier this year, Elada is currently used privately, with no current plans to make here available for charter. She is currently cruising around Europe and the Mediterranean.

Bilgin’s New Yacht Elada Has Vastly Different Interior and Exterior Styling, and Both Are Stunning

Bilgin’s Elada , a 147-foot triple-deck motor yacht with a reverse bow and blue accents, is another one-of-a-kind design from the Turkish custom shipyard. The London-based H2 Yacht Design created both the exterior and interior, giving them radically different styling. The sleek, futuristic exterior would make a great backdrop for a sci-fi movie, while the rich wood and marble of the interior contribute to a more classic—indeed, a fairly conservative—design.

The reverse bow is shaped like an eagle’s beak, turned down at the point. Moving aft, the hull has very clean lines. Raised bulwarks along the side decks and a long superstructure give the profile an integrated, lean look, especially considering that the boat has three decks.

H2 designed Elada to be more than just a pretty face, however. A folding door at the transom turns the swim platform into a beach club, while expansive glass doors between the bridge deck and the sky lounge—which has an outdoor dining table for 12—transform the area into an open terrace. Matching hot tubs—one on the bridge deck and the other on the sundeck—are perfect hubs for socializing with guests or for more intimate interactions. To give the yacht a signature touch, the owner requested large swaths of blue painted across the stern and foredeck and on the bridge.

The boat’s interior is dark and rich, with high-gloss veneers and woods—including wenge , burl walnut, zebrano, and palisander—as well as warm leathers and fabrics and cool marble floors. The full-beam owner’s suite on the bridge deck includes a large bedroom, a palatial bathroom with onyx detailing, and an office with its own skylight. A VIP cabin is located on the main deck, while the lower deck houses four double guest suites equipped with en suite bathrooms. The hand-finished wood detailing, often ribbed and scalloped, makes the interior an exceptional piece of artisanship.

Besides its striking looks, Elada is also a performer, able to reach a top speed of 19 knots; its cruising speed is 15 knots. When traveling at the eco-cruise speed of 12 knots, it has a range of 2,600 miles. ( bilginyacht.com )

ELADA (BILGIN 147)

In 2014, another H2-designed yacht 45 meter Elada took the stage with masculine design and the blue color. The tri-deck yacht features a beach club at the transom and an expansive bridge-deck terrace.

The yacht’s most striking element, however, is the contrast between its modern, almost futuristic-looking exterior and its classic interior, which is filled with ribbed and scalloped woodwork.

A Moment of Clarity: Inside Bilgin Yachts’ modern classic

First published in the November 2015 edition of ShowBoats International

It’s always fun to speculate how a yacht got her name. Clarity ’s owner saw the Bilgin 160 under construction and envisioned what he could do to perfect her. Was that how she got her name? So much for that idea, Clarity was already the name of his Johnson 87 .

The new Clarity , a graceful 48 metre yacht (including the 5.5 metre bowsprit) that her owner and Bilgin Yachts exhibited at the 2015 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show , is not easy to fit into one category: new build, refit or even classic. She is a little of each.

The “classic” part is obvious. She looks like she was born in a different era, but she is a recent creation from Bilgin Yachts, a custom yacht builder based in Istanbul, Turkey, and she is the second boat in the Bilgin Classic 160 series. The first, M&M , was launched in 2012 and was recently renamed Timeless .

No particular vessel inspired the design. “We have built our classic series with our own ideas,” says Yildirim Bilgen, the company’s sales director. “The main idea was to build a yacht with a design that will last forever.” Bilgin did the styling in-house.

Turkish boat builders, in particular, are very well-versed in wood construction, and Bilgin’s experienced craftsmen, with top-notch tooling at their fingertips, had no trouble recreating the feel of a bygone era. The shipyard also builds cold-moulded vessels, such as 44.2 metre Elada , with a reverse bow developed with H2 Yacht Design and delivered last year. For the classic series, however, Bilgin selected steel for the hull and composite for the superstructure.

The full-displacement hull has a bilge keel and bulbous bow for all-ocean seakeeping. Modestly powered Caterpillar engines yield a serene cruising speed of around 10 knots befitting of the yacht’s appearance. The attractive funnel that she sports is a mere concession to styling, as are the mast and bowsprit.

Inside, Clarity has no shortage of modern conveniences, including a galley with stainless steel appliances, navigation and electronic equipment, zero-speed stabilizers and VSAT.

“I think the Classic is just that — a classic. It reminds me of the glory days of yachting, or the romance of yachting with the style to match,” says Clarity ’s owner. “I think it takes one back to the days when Onassis would entertain the film stars, world leaders and celebrities on the Christina O or earlier to the days of Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland sailing around the Caribbean. We have been careful obviously to have every modern convenience, technology and toy on the vessel, but we also worked hard to give her a chic, comfortable interior.

“I didn’t want a vessel that looked the same as everyone’s; nowadays you sail into a port and everyone seems to have exactly the same brand of boat. I think she is unique and looks fantastic inside and out.”

So, is Clarity a new build or refit? Actually, she’s a bit of both. Bilgin Yachts received great response from its first Classic 160, even as she was under construction, and started building the second Classic before it had a firm order. Hull No. 2 was already very advanced but on hold when she attracted the attention of her current owner, who thought she could benefit from a few tweaks. That’s where the refit part comes in.

“The new layout was based on utilizing the space much more effectively than the previous design. We wanted the interior layout to be much more of what you would expect on this type of vessel with every modern amenity not only for guests but also for crew,” he says.

His vision required reconfiguring all decks, especially the main and lower decks. Step one was moving the crew quarters from their location forward on the lower deck toward the aft section, and creating two new interior accesses, one from the galley and the other from the guest corridor (originally the only access to the crew quarters was through a foredeck hatch). Three crew cabins, a mess and a laundry room are now in close proximity. The captain has a nice double cabin next to the bridge.

Step two was transforming the space previously occupied by crew cabins into a beautiful en suite for the master suite, which is located forward on the main deck. The bed still faces a gorgeous span of windows and stairs now lead down to a marble bathroom. Step three was adding a convivial bar on the upper deck and expanding lounging areas.

Clarity looks just as attractive as Timeless and lest you pay attention, the two Classic 160s may appear identical — then you notice the mast has moved from the main deck to the upper deck. Little by little, like a game of ‘Spot the difference’, more of the details that set them apart emerge from the big picture.

The superstructure on Clarity is longer to accommodate the master stateroom/en suite redesign and her upper aft deck sports a large, horseshoe-shaped bar. The sunpads forward on the bridge deck are much larger. The coaming is higher, LED lights underline the deck, the bridge deck now has a dayhead, there is new storage and passageways and the life rafts were repositioned, among the many differences. Looking at the results, you’d think accomplishing this transformation was easy. There is nothing that feels forced or contrived about the layout — it works.

Project manager Frank “Bobby” Ball oversaw and meticulously documented the conversion. Creating Clarity as she appears today meant the yard had to cut through steel, remove bulkheads, reroute pipes and get approval for each step from classification society RINA. The early days felt more like destruction.

“It was difficult because we took a perfectly good boat and at first, we worked backward,” Ball says. “When we finally were able to go forward, it became very rewarding. Not enough can be said about the quality of the construction; and [the yard] will build whatever you want.”

The owner agrees. “They are very open to delivering whatever specification is given to them and happy to work with any of the nautical build standards,” he says. “We decided at the outset that we would have a build engineer in Turkey working alongside the independent RINA engineer and then make regular trips to inspect progress and discuss any issues that would arise during the build process. This worked really effectively, and as a result, I think we got a great product from Bilgin.”

With several facilities in sprawling Istanbul, Bilgin Yachts does most everything in house and employs several engineers. It is currently expanding its building capacity with a large new construction hall on the grounds of West Istanbul Marina. This year, it delivered both 49.9 metre  Dursur to an owner from the Middle East and Clarity , the first Bilgin to come to North America.

As for Clarity , there likely will be another yacht with her name in the future. The owner had a lot of fun conceiving her. “I will definitely be undertaking the process again,” he says. What does he envision? “Something bigger I would imagine, maybe Nero sized, who can tell?”
