Milan-based studio Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group, has revealed new details of its latest superyacht project with Turkish builder Bilgin Yachts, the 50-metre Bilgin 163 Camila. Delivered to her delighted owner in May 2025, Camila is the culmination of over fifteen years of successful collaborations between the two companies, which began with a 37.5-metre custom motor yacht project back in 2009 and has developed into one of the most prolific and celebrated design-yard partnerships in the world. 
 
Technically superb and profoundly liveable 
Hot Lab’s well-known “Architecture for Voyagers” philosophy — evident also from other recent projects such as the 50-metre Bilgin Yachts Eternal Spark, launched in 2023 — is an integral part of the partnership between the Milan-based studio and the Turkish builder. 
 
As İsmail Şengün, CEO of Bilgin Yachts, explains: “This philosophy resonates deeply with us. Our focus on displacement hull performance, optimised hydrodynamics, and long-range capability (Camila delivers approximately 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed) aligns naturally with Hot Lab's insistence that interior spaces must serve the rhythm of life on board. How guests move between decks, how a saloon transitions to an aft terrace, how a master suite manages natural light at sea; these are as much engineering questions as they are design ones.”
