About Bering
Bering was founded in 2007 by Alexei Mikhailov, and its first yachts were built in Foshan, China, beginning with an all-metal yacht of about 50 feet. In 2017 the company moved its building to Turkey, and Antalya has since become its home. A second yard in Burgas, Bulgaria, was added later, while the company's headquarters are in the United States.
The yard's philosophy is plainly stated: safety, comfort and reliability. Hulls are steel, often paired with aluminum superstructures on the larger yachts, and the emphasis falls on self-sufficiency, with redundant power, watermakers and generous storage for long stretches away from shore support.
The range has grown steadily in size. The first B145, launched in Antalya in 2022 as M/Y Heeus, has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and was described by the yard as the start of a new chapter. Construction of the 50-meter B165 flagship began in 2026, with exterior styling by Valentin Design and naval architecture by Eureka Yachts.
Bering yacht models
Bering names its yachts by approximate length in feet, grouped into expedition yachts under 24 meters, explorer superyachts above that size and a separate catamaran line.
- B72, B77 and B88Steel expedition yachts at the compact end of the range, with the 26.2-meter B88 bridging into larger territory.
- B78A shallow-draft explorer intended for coastlines and anchorages that deeper yachts cannot reach.
- B110, B125 and B130Explorer superyachts with crewed layouts, the B125 measuring about 39.5 meters with a beach club aft.
- B145 and B165The largest platforms, at 44.2 and 50 meters, built with steel hulls and multi-deck layouts for extended cruising.
- BC60, BC70 and BC80Expedition catamarans that apply the brand's long-range thinking to a twin-hull platform.

Bering yachts change hands both publicly and privately. There may be no Bering in the current Reel Deal Yachts selection, but Daniel can search the wider market, including yachts that are not publicly listed.
Discuss a Bering yacht →Buying a Bering yacht
A steel expedition yacht rewards a careful survey. Buyers should look closely at the hull coating system, ultrasonic thickness readings, bilges and tanks, as well as the redundancy that makes these yachts self-sufficient: generators, watermakers, stabilizers and fuel management. How a yacht has been used matters as much as her age, and a Bering returning from high latitudes deserves a different inspection than one that has spent her seasons in the Mediterranean.
Bering has built across two countries and several generations, and specifications vary widely between hulls, so the build file, class records and refit history should be read together. The larger models carry professional crew and may be registered commercially, which shapes flag and running costs. Daniel's guide to buying a yacht explains how survey and sea trial fit into the process.
Selling a Bering yacht
Bering is a younger name than the long-established Dutch and Italian yards, so value rests on evidence rather than reputation alone. Daniel compares a Bering with sold steel explorers of similar size and range, including Dutch long-range yachts, then adjusts for equipment, condition and documented voyages. A private valuation sets out that reasoning plainly.
Buyers for expedition yachts are often experienced owners with specific itineraries in mind, and they respond to detail: range figures, tankage, maintenance logs and a record of where the yacht has actually been. Daniel can present a Bering to cooperating brokers internationally or approach a smaller circle privately, as described in the off-market guide, with Fort Lauderdale and Monaco remaining natural moments to meet buyers.
Bering new builds
Bering builds its larger yachts on a semi-custom basis, and owners can shape layouts, interiors and equipment around the voyages they intend to make. Daniel can help a client clarify that brief, compare the yard's platforms with alternatives from other explorer builders and coordinate with an owner's representative and the yard through construction, remaining independent and on the client's side throughout.
Why work with Daniel Grant
Explorer yachts are bought for a purpose, and Daniel starts with that purpose rather than with a listing. Working between Miami, New York and Europe, and supported by the brokerage infrastructure of Reel Deal Yachts, he can place a Bering against the wider field of long-range yachts and explain the practical trade-offs in crew, range and ownership.
His service is personal and discreet, and his view of value is grounded in sold comparables rather than asking prices.
