dusur - 51.8m turkish bilgin superyacht
This 51.8m yacht comes from the Turkish builders Bilgin Yachts. She was constructed in 2015 for a Saudi businessman and is the 2nd-largest built by Bilgin and 816th-largest yacht in the world.
When she was first launched she was actually 49.9m, before later having an expansion of her transom (see below).
She was previously named Alfulk and was last sold in 2012, before her transformation.
Her timeless exterior and interior design is the work of London based H2 Yacht Design and provides an elegant and stylish atmosphere together with complete comfort for all passengers onboard. H2 used a “cappuccino” colour scheme for the interior, creating a classic modern feel.
The Bilgin 164 model has a beam of 9.5m and sits in the water with a 3m draft. With an aluminium superstructure and steel mono hull she has a 795 gross tonnage. She has a maximum speed of 16 knots powered by her twin Caterpillar 3512C diesel engines (1650 hp) and a fuel tank that holds 108,000 litres. She can cruise comfortably at 13 knots but when cruising at 9 knots she can reach a range of 5250 nautical miles.
Dusur has 5 sumptuous cabins which include an owner’s suite, 2x VIP suites, plus 2x twin cabins with pullman beds, allowing a total of 12 guests to stay onboard. The owner’s suite and office are situated on the main deck and boasts its own private balcony. There are also 5 ensuite crew cabins which sleep 13 experienced crew members.
She flaunts 3 generous teak deck spaces with an outdoor bar and a jacuzzi. In 2017 she underwent a refit which included an extension of the transom by nearly 2m, plus hydraulic deploying platforms creating a larger, magnificent beach club area and swim platform. Her last refit was in 2022.
The main deck’s living space provides spectacular views through her 3m sliding doors on both sides, creating a feeling that you are at one with your surroundings.
The upper deck features not only the captain's cabin and wheelhouse, but also a Turkish Hamam, a game room and gym. Other notable features onboard include her movie theatre, a backlit translucent stone indoor bar and backlit agate flooring. Plus, she has an array of water toys, including jet skis and tenders.
Dusur is currently active and was recently seen in Marmaris, Turkey, as pictured/videoed here.
