“The client was looking for a tough, go-anywhere explorer yacht with oceanic range, which is what Bering does best,” says yard founder and president, Alexei Mikhailov. “But he also wants to be able to run the boat silently for extended periods on battery power alone, so the B76 will be equipped with a powerful battery bank that can be recharged by alternators and solar panels.”
To deal with growing enquiries from Europe Bering has also opened a new office in Monaco. The operation will be headed up by Bogdan Gusarev.
“The explorer market is booming and Bering’s rugged, steel-hulled platforms are gaining traction in Europe,” says Gusarev. “European clients are particularly demanding as they are usually experienced and technically knowledgeable yachtsmen who expect high quality. We fully expect to see more European clients building with us in the near future.”
In 2021 Bering opened three offices around the world, including Bering Moscow, Bering Fort Lauderdale and Bering Monaco.
