The 48m luxury motor yacht MOONRAKER was delivered by Bilgin Yachts in 2019, presenting a steel displacement hull with a sleek aluminum superstructure. She showcases naval architecture and exterior lines by Unique Yacht Design, while her interiors were created by İlkay Dovan of the in-house team.

Full description

The main deck invites you to the water’s edge with a spacious, easy-flowing layout where sun loungers beckon and the full complement of water toys awaits. Aft, a generous sofa spans the stern, paired with a coffee table to create a relaxed setting for alfresco dining and watching the horizon unspool. This area evolves into a sheltered alfresco lounge with seating, dining, and a movie zone that gently steps down to the large beach club for effortless days by the sea.

Above, the partially exposed upper deck presents sun beds along the stern and ample room for a large alfresco dining table that seats all guests in cool shade. Forward, the Portuguese deck is shaped around a C‑shaped sofa and coffee table that can be screened by canvas, while a Jacuzzi sits farther ahead. The bow is dedicated to stowing motorized water toys, launched and retrieved with the efficiency of a Davit crane.

Inside, the décor refracts imagination like a kaleidoscope, with radial motifs coursing through bright, impeccably clean living spaces. In the main foyer, a sculptural staircase is bathed in natural light cascading from the sundeck Jacuzzi above, while nature‑inspired “Caviar lights” shimmer with gold and silver accents that, like the marble in the en‑suite bathrooms, artfully punctuate the yacht’s prevailing pristine white palette. Leisure is effortless on MOONRAKER, from the beach club poised right at the waterline to the well‑equipped gym that keeps fitness routines on track at sea, and the deck Jacuzzi where a glass of champagne finds its perfect setting.

The master suite is a private sanctuary featuring an in‑house designed headboard, a skylight elevated above the bed, and a balcony that opens to the water for an incomparable morning or sunset moment.

Crafted with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, she delivers generous interior volume and reassuring stability at anchor courtesy of her full‑displacement hull. Twin MTU engines provide a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots, with a range of 3,500 nautical miles from her 67,500‑liter fuel tanks at 11 knots. An advanced stabilization system minimizes side‑to‑side roll, ensuring exceptional comfort whether at anchor or underway.

Tender & toys

From waterline thrills to shore-side freedom, the collection includes two 2023 Yamaha Waverunner Jetblasters jet skis for high-energy rides, two FS5 Seabobs for playful underwater exploration, one Lift eFoil for whisper-quiet foiling above the surface, and three Segway e-scooters to carry you around the marina with effortless ease.
