BERING STREAM: Expedition Catamarans Comparison with Alexei & Rico

[@magnusenamd]

Alexei is a rockstar🤩It's wonderful to have someone who does something right from the ground up and also knows what's important. He doesn't reinvent the wheel, but he does everything right and doesn't cheat anywhere. Comfort and safety and durability.I am a big fan of him and bering's boats and catamarans.

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for the support!

[@janezkovac6692]

Bering 77 all day long ...just the right volume and that classic look .....great work alexei.....

[@guscarlson7021]

Veronica is a very masculine looking vessel. I love it. Classic trawler style.

[@janezkovac6692]

@@guscarlson7021 veronica is under slovenian flag KP-70 now....not veronica any more....yes trully magnificent ship

[@manuelvilar4496]

Well done Bering Yachts I can’t wait to see the finished product you guys make beautiful spacious boats for exploration adventures 👍 all the best

[@CrispyOkra]

Alexei didn't mention it, but he was already working with multihulls with Bering Marine.

[@tareklarbi7168]

Thank you 🙏 Great stream indeed, really loved it and enjoyed all the education I got from your discussion 👌👍

I just love the cats ❤ can not wait to see a tour of one ! Awesome to see Alexei and Rico together could listen to the two of them talk Shop for hours ❤

[@janezkovac6692]

Are you from Haiti?

[@aflatbroke1]

Great insight into the models and can't wait to see the cats in real life on the seas.

[@Beringyachts]

Us too!

[@rasferrastfarian739]

So looking forward to the first Bering Cat! 1 year...and counting! 🙂 Thanks guys!

[@Beringyachts]

Our pleasure!

[@MSHopps175]

I’ll be happy with one of these

[@davidmchugh2512]

It seemed to me a few years ago that Bering Yachts were way ahead of the competition, I am thrilled to say that I still hold that view. Videos like this that are just damn right honest go a long way in educating Yachtsmen and women that, the only way to go is the Bering way.

[@captainjimmers2925]

I would love to see a video of the shipyard that will be building these awesome aluminum catamarans. 😊

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for the great suggestion!

[@rickydee5863]

@captainjimmers2925 yes I was curious about the shipyard to.i think you guys mentioned it was in Bulgaria. We all know and have confidence in the Alexis yard so looking at the one in Bulgaria would enhance that confidence

[@mgb7577]

Great video. Thank you so much. ❤ Bering.

Great work gentlemen., most excellent, informative video. I could have easily listened to another hour of you two, no problem. I look forward to more videos of this sort, as your projects mature.

[@Beringyachts]

[@ghosgit]

Hope to have one, one day...

[@allenrittman5853]

You know those old, most interesting man in the world commercials? That's Alexei! He would be cool if he didn't build world class yachts! Can't wait to see the new boat!

[@michaelmurray9940]

Absolutely fantastic discussion regarding the benefits of an aluminium cat compared to a fiberglass cat or steel / aluminium monohull. I honestly need to win a bigger lottery pool to have 1 of each Bering type. Thank you for making my boat decision harder, it really is appreciated, and keep up the fabulous efforts in making quality, safe, efficient and quiet explorer boats...

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for the nice comment!

[@lanimulrepus]

Great video... Great catamaran concept...

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you!

[@Gitan_de_la_mer]

Awesome series about production range, thanks a lot! ❤⚓ Any plans to expand the size range, 50 feet for example - owner operated? The market needs a simple (operation, maintenance...) and efficient (fuel consumption, convenient size for mooring in marinas...) machine for safe (Al hull) and comfortable (volume of living spaces) circumnavigation. What do you think?)

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!

[@AshleyWare-q7m]

I'm extremely to see the finish product on all cats. What an amazing chat love 🇦🇺

[@ulugo70119]

Fantastic collaboration with great energy and super informative! What a dream it would be to build/own a Bering … any Bering! But the BC80 - mind-blowing and once again, Bering IS setting the bar high and impressive standards for a new market for Bering! I predict it will be amazing! Congratulations Mr. Mikhailov and Mr. Rox!

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@IanCrouse]

This is like having coffee with your Father and uncle while deciding which 'fishing' boat we will take to the Gulf of Mexico. Us Cajuns love fishing. I can't wait to sit down with Alexei and have a sundowner. EDIT: Let me give KUDOs to the editor of this video. It is wonderful how the topic evolves, and none of the usual 'uhs, umms,'' or other infractions take away from the beauty of the topic. It's about boating, period. On that note, back to the video. EDIT AGAIN: The negative windscreen on the pilothouse is a must for me. Seeing it on the CATs is a HUUGGGEEE pull from the mono hull for me. Having that '3k sgft' or more with that draft is a dream come true. As a chef, fisherman, and explorer, I could want nothing more than a Bering CAT. I know I have had my heart set on the 70 Explorer, but this video is my swing vote for the cat. Thank you both for an insightful and moving interview.

[@Beringyachts]

We would love to see you among the Bering family!

[@philipdennis5410]

What about the Bering Cat 105 ft

[@jamesmontgomery8673]

I've watched a lot of these interviews and this one has kept me absolutely riverted all the way through. Who new a catamaran could be so interesting.

Very interested to see the first ones in the water. A 60-80ft expedition vessel is in my 3-5 year plan so these are definitely in the conversation!

[@Beringyachts]

We would love to see you among the Bering family one day!

[@EdwardTilley]

Make sure you add a head on the flybridge. Its superyacht standard but not available on other Catamarans... FD75 convinced me that its essential.

[@CatFinder3000]

very cool

[@alanblasczyk1779]

This is a line of Cat's that interests me. Bering is an awesome boat.

[@imcurtispenner]

I’m very excited to see both the first cat and the first 88. One thing I’d love to know more about is the comfort of the cat while at anchor. It’s my understanding that you can’t use a stabilizer system for them so how do they feel at anchor? Or even under way when being hit on the beam with significant swell or waves?

[@KathyRootParr]

We love your features. We have a question on another matter, however, ventilation. When touring boats, Rico and Victoria often point out openable windows and hatches for cross breezes and fresh air and ventilation. We have been on small boats, weekenders, on which the forward cabin has taken on a locker room odour. Even on rag tops and open boats, the storage lockers often smell like gym lockers. On boats like the Bering’s, how do you get fresh air in and stale air out of the lower decks? Especially, how do you ventilate out the hot damp air from people like me who enjoy long hot steamy showers? How do you keep storm water and sea spray from entering the system? James and Kathy

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you! We are installing fresh air make up units which take the fresh air from outside and conditioning then sending trough ductings to the A/C fan coils, and individual silence exhaust fans or central extraction units takes the air and sending away from the vessel. We consider at least 6 air change per hour for a healthy interior ambient.

[@akLeanne]

Epic🎉🎉

[@222INFINITY]

Great presentation gentlemen, so exciting to see what's coming from Bering. Cats certainly are the future for the vast majority of pleasure boats for cruisers, one thing you might want to pay attention to is the freeboard height and how it effects the number of stairs to the platform from the cockpit. The Sunreef 80 works very well, a great design, the Sunreef 100 is just too high, way too many stairs to the platform, making the most important area of the boat awkward, in my opinion. $13.5 mil is a big number for 80 feet!!!!!!!

[@boerboelmummy5075]

Ooooh expedition cats... NOW you're talking my language

[@scottfortune9016]

Looking forward to seeing the BC50 that goes 55knots!! Yowza!

[@viloraravely4142]

Which is safe in a cross ocean jorney...a cat or a single hull?

[@Beringyachts]

Both of them are very safe! All Bering boats can cross the ocean!

[@michiganengineer8621]

It sounded like the BC60 is going to be roughly $4.5-$5M correct? I saw a video yesterday on a year old 67 power cat from a certain French company that was asking $4.7M. If I had the money I'd be getting one from Bering

[@ashleykerlin]

So with the skegs and all, would it be okay to beach the smaller ones if you need to do hull scraping, prop and thruster maintenance, without needing a haulout? Especially if you are somewhere remote.

[@adamk-mm1bx]

Alexi ; I was looking at Sunseeker but this video BC 60 / 80 changed my mind the Bering way...😎

[@larrygreenwood4613]

Once these boats are out of warranty, Is there a space available for a mechanically inclined owner to do repairs? There is always something to fix on a boat.

[@PortugalCarp]

Fantastic looking cats, well done Bering. Now all I need to do is win the EuroMillions... lol

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you, we wish you good luck!

[@maryholder3795]

Like catamarans any type I'm interested in. So interested in what Bering is doing with their 60, smallest, 70 medium side, and 80's biggest of the three of the aluminum boats. They look like from the pictures like an apartment, home from home which is useful as they are explorer ships. How quiet will they be? Engine or generator noise, people moving around, as the fiberglass cats sound travels. But Bering with their aluminum is trying for much quieter boat, for family or charter.

[@PerWilly1968]

Did you not watch the video?

[@MmIlahg]

If I were to order a B60 what is the current lead time for delivery and could i have the fuel capacity increased, preferably doubled?

[@radeksparowski7174]

really curious about those metal cats, hope soon the solar panels, batteries, sharrow propellers, ai captains and maybe chinese portable thorium reactors will be available to get me the ultimate autonomous wessel to survive what is coming

[@domcp711]

How much thickness do you use in different parts of the hull? Is it the same thickness in all three models?

[@Beringyachts]

Hello, we use 6 mm generally, 10 mm on bow, 8 mm bottom part!

[@guscarlson7021]

The BC80 would be a perfect charter vessel for operating in the Puget Sound and Vancouver Island's Inside Passage.

[@aog5640]

I have to wait one year??!!?? That's too long 😮 I really look forward to it 😊

[@Jimmi7200]

The starting prices, how much is that on the BC60 - BC 70 - BC80? You mentioned a price of 13 million, but what currency is that in, EURO, US Dollars or?

[@Beringyachts]

Please reach us via [e-mail] for detailed information.

[@MikC-hu6ld]

Some peope are asking about seakeeper stabilizer. Are the catamarans stabile at anchor, without a seakerper?

[@MikC-hu6ld]

Sea keeper, correction above

[@mrshort2379]

@BeringYachts as a suggestion please ass basic pricing. one thing I have noticed about Yachts manufacturer/company websites, is there are "no" basic pricing of the yachts. for those of us that so not have a disposable income. we need to see some type of pricing, without having to send request forms, that may or may not be answered.

[@RippleEffect55]

I wish Bering would make a lake boat 40 to 55.... ❤ the New line

[@suunto61]

Main controls up, enclosed, with bed and head for Captain.

[@Joe_1sr9]

Weather it’s a mono hull or catamaran Bering would always be my favourite choice…

[@Beringyachts]

Thank you for the support!

[@cyrillawless]

When you roll hull number one over I’d love to see a video. It will be a major job just turning her over.

[@Beringyachts]

The video is coming very soon!

[@MikC-hu6ld]

There is a new propeller for smaller boats, for better fuel efficiency. For yachts, I saw Rico's video with a new propeller design, for better efficiency. And moving the weight better. With a different design. It has a raised plastic piece into a groove on each propeller blade. Adding a little more push, to move a yacht. And that keeps the water from moving off the propeller as usual. It eeps the water flow on the propeller slightly longer. Instead of flowing off as in most propeller designs.

[@MikC-hu6ld]

It keeps. Correction, above

[@MrBDub]

Check out the Sharrow

[@MikC-hu6ld]

@@MrBDub Yes, that's the one I was talking about, for boats. I'm not sure it would work well, with a lot of weight of a yacht. Like 150 to 180 tons or higher. They still need a bigger prop to push the weight. The other props might just spin, with less push for a heavy yacht.

[@rickydee5863]

70 foot cat is the sweet spot . Can be used by the owner operator and still be able to get cover from the insurance companies comanys

[@timreuterskiold9520]

[@nickwatkins5321]

wish i could afford one

[@whitneylake2107]

I hope someday soon that Bering uses a hydrogen fuel cell for certain models of their yachts. Hydrogen is ideal for large vessels and they could be completely electric with an unlimited range. The technology exists so the criticisms of yesteryear are no longer valid. I think it would make Bering even more appealing than it is already and put them way ahead of any competitors. Cheers

[@MikC-hu6ld]

Could a customer request a jacuzzi on one of the new catamarsns?

[@genemorris2367]

I can see that there will be a lot of marinas that won't accept the 80 because of it's size or charge more than a super yacht.

[@donrichards7173]

Pity they didn't consider a 50 as well, much more practical for a couple cruising in remote locations.

[@limbandtreeremoval]

Gph/ fuel burn..?

“And in other news, Bering’s first B82 now for sale after current owners opt for an explorer catamaran.”

[@johnkovac4436]

Estimate cost of caterman 80?

[@MmIlahg]

He said around 13 million

[@MikC-hu6ld]

How often does a yacht or catamaran need oil changes?

[@Aeroswine1776]

There is a general rule of 250 hours in standard use 150 in severe use. But most yachts aren't really sailed much so they just change their oil once a year.

[@woolyimage]

The sailing yacht I owned had a recommendation of 200 hours for oil changes for a Perkins based Volvo engine. Which is around what the previous respondent mentioned. For these motor yachts oil changes would be based on manufacturers recommendations. I think these larger marine engines would have longer intervals but you’d need to take specific advice.

[@Beringyachts]

Hello! Timing may vary according to engine and manufacturer, please refer to the operating instructions from the manufacturer.

Well great. I thought when I hit the lottery, I was getting a Bering 125 or 145, and now the BC70 and 80 will exist. This means I can sfill get the 125, but I can get the BC70 as well.

[@Beringyachts]

Both are truly remarkable, and we wish you the very best of luck!

[@butchhubbard6124]

You too make a good payer !!!

[@MikC-hu6ld]

They are working on new car batteries that are different from lithium batteries. Lasting easily, over one million miles. And quick-charging, to 80 percent battery charge, in only 15 minutes. Not sure, if this will cross-over to boat and yacht batteries. I think hydrogen batteries need to be refilled with water. Or, whichever way cars are filled. A yacht would have to have a fesh water maker.

[@alvinmick218]

This is fantastic news and information from two very knowledgeable people. I hope we will get more of these chats between Alexei and Rico! You guys interact so well and it is easy to see the respect you two have for each other. Excellent presentation! 🥃

[@christianjiancc]

I can't even express my thoughts about this because someone at bearing yachts will delete it.

[@rickydee5863]

@@christianjiancc why would they even do that ?

[@Graz-dude]

How about pulling out the diesel and generator sets and instead going all electric. Bump the battery storage (Non liquid electrolytes) and adding hydrogen fuel cell with range extender. Maybe a rotating telescopic carbon fiber mast with wings or inflatable sail that integrate to auto pilot. Not sure you would want any hydrogen if you did all that, but maybe folding props. Am interested in seeing the rudder and prop/shaft design. I always cringe when I see prop bearing at or below the waterline or stuffing boxes with huge space that can flood a hull. Why not a pod motor with the bearing at the top of a column so it's above the water line? Range unlimited. It can be biggish because putting in at marinas is not necessary to fuel.
