MOONRAKER is a Bilgin 156 series motor yacht, launched by Bilgin Yachts in 2019. Featuring a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, she combines robust engineering with sophisticated design. Her exterior lines were drawn by Unique Yacht Design, while her elegant interiors are by Bilgin’s in-house design studio.
She accommodates 10 guests in five cabins, including a full-beam master suite with a fold-out balcony. The lower deck hosts two VIP cabins and two guest cabins, while the crew quarters for nine members are located forward, with a captain’s cabin on the upper deck. The interior is finished in light tones, with Carrara marble accents and premium soft furnishings. A central staircase connects all decks, illuminated by natural light from a glass skylight on the sundeck.
Her exterior decks offer multiple spaces for open-air relaxation. The aft main deck features a lounge and dining area, leading down to the beach club. The upper deck offers an al fresco dining area and sun loungers, while the foredeck includes a C-shaped sofa with a coffee table and a Jacuzzi with panoramic views. Forward storage accommodates water toys, with a dedicated crane for easy launch.
Powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines (1,475 hp each), MOONRAKER cruises at 11 knots, reaches 16 knots at top speed, and boasts a range of 3,500 nautical miles at cruising speed.
