[@VincentAshcroft]

Love it, it's definitely the style of boat that I like. It's range and seakeeping abilities are outstanding. ( I have a Bering 60 ) this is simply a world cruiser. with a few modifications, solar panels and a few other personal touches it would truly be the boat of my dreams.

[@nevergiveup-db6fp]

That’s awesome do you have a bearing 60 you’re definitely in the top 10% very good job dude

I love this design aesthetic. I love ships, but I have a manageable phobia of deep water and this ship has an aura of safety.

[@skizztrizz4453]

I feel that everyone should have a healthy fear of the seas and mother nature in general. I can go without a hot tub and other pleasure vessel amenities in lieu of the safety features of explorers.🤔🤔🧐

[@jakerazmataz852]

@@skizztrizz4453 Seriously, hot tubs, sauna's etc., even pools, tend to get less use than the owners think when buying. IMO

[@dethtour]

I agree. I've worked off shore for a few years, and the ocean is extremely dangerous. I would rather a nice looking but safe ship than to have all the commodities of bathing. I want to be able to store 4 snow mobiles, 4 jetskis, 2 decent size small boats to get to land. A pad to launch an Autel Dragonfish for recon and to look for good places to set anchor I want to be able to have equipment. I don't care about having all the empty room of a living room. I want to use as much space as possible to make sure I have what I need.

[@HODLKing]

I love the Bering Explorer Yachts, but this one is right up there with them. This boat looks great and has a ton of space inside. This would make an excellent boat to tour the world!

[@YachtBuoy]

She would be right at home on a round the world trip 🙌🌎

She is beautiful, with a range of 22,000 nautical miles. There isn't any remote place on earth you couldn't go to. What a beauty.

[@henryk777]

This would be my #1choice! Has the range ,safety, strength for rough seas. The Bering 77 would be my 2nd choice. This is like a nicer version of the Northwestern on deadliest catch and that was in 35. Ft seas. Thank you for the video. 👍

The exterior of the Ocean King 130 is aesthetically perfect. When I have one built I'll tell them to use a bit more wood inside and put up a few beer signs in the salon and I'll move right in. You really could live for the rest of your life in her and go anywhere the water is at least 3.6 meters deep. Probably only 2 or 3 professional crew (engineer, cook and deck hand) I'd be captain (whose fantasy is this anyway?) then conscript family and guests to wipping duty and kp. I'm planning an expedition to nowhere and this one will get me there.

Well thought out design. The interior is spot on for someone who doesn't like high maintenance finishes in a salt environment. The tankage allows the owner to take advantage of regional fuel pricing in their travels. Nothing to change if you can afford $15mil and the $2mil a year to run and maintain it.

[@wcc1212]

Yep, pretty close to that probably. Def a step up in net worth for most.

[@Adogsmate4267]

Of all the yachts I have seen, this is beautiful, but the 77 Bering trawler in my view cannot be bettered . What sells me is the refit design capability and the rugged look.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for showing off this super yacht ( World explorer) when you said the RANGE on her at reduced speed, just said WOW. Love those new system lift ( Pal finger) booms, they fold up, extension out for any lift. After looking at that front anchor system, was thinking of stern 4 point anchor set up. That's the only thing I would add. To do ( expense pay office work) for say environmental science work. The look of vessel reminds me of Torpedo trials Tester vessels, that's why was thinking of a 4 point anchor system. The white insides make it so bright and nice for natural light. The 5 star Bathroom ( Heads) are such a plus for LONG Range cruising. I love the open areas space inside. The Galley is a professional chef would die for working in that at Sea kitchen. ( What is the walk in Freezer stores SIZE) ?????????

[@gregzoller9003]

Outstanding ship… but I agree with others that the interior looks like a doctor’s office. I’d redecorate-but that’s fixable. The ship is super capable and safe.

[@06barcafan10]

[@orwellknew9112]

Without the traditional dark woods combined with superior craftsmanship, you wind up with interiors that are no more nautical than a downtown condo. Nordhavn interiors are at the top of the explorer yacht genre in my opinion. Beautiful, luxurious, warm, inviting and exciting all in one package. One look at their interiors and you know immediately that you are in a nautical vessel.

[@jeffwindrim975]

This is my vision of a medium size expedition yacht. It almost ticks off all the bells and whistles on my wish list. I would keep with this design but extend the Stern of the boat 20 feet and make it 150” LOA this would allow a tender garage on the main deck for a submarine and other toys and that would allow a larger upper deck. I’m impressed with its long range and that it looks like it’s built like a tank for the heavy seas if you get caught in a storm. I also really like the Ocean King 88 it’s a little smaller but it’s also built like a tank.

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@jjrichardson5434]

That's a great idea you think the extra weight would effect the range

[@jjrichardson5434]

Or the view you get from the upper deck

[@jjrichardson5434]

No that I look at I would just make the upper deck the hole garage them use the top of the upper to extend the sun deck and all the stuff that was originally on the upper deck

Yea but no bering has the range and physical capabilities that this has

[@ROUXGAROUX-v3v]

Might wanna revisit that 9kt cruise range, not likely a 120 something WL boat does 20k miles unless it's under sail or drifting. Assuming WL=126, DL=270, D=540LT, grKWH=207, GEN=13KW, 9 kts looks like 16k miles with 52k USG or 30% of D. 8KT=20k miles maybe (C32's are fuel hogs at low load), gonna be interesting ride when ya burn off most of that 162LT of fuel. Great channel, keep it coming!

[@franklinfamily1441]

[@ray4sp]

I would have liked to see more detail but understand that this is not in your control but this has to be one of my favorite all time explorer yachts - with an emphasis on 150" or less. Having been in very big seas and knowing the speed of these steel hulled vessels, it is not always easy to avoid storms so having a ship that can cope with extreme conditions is important. I enjoy your presentations, so well done. I have been reading up about lightning strikes - with your past experience, how do these explorer yachts factor this potential strike in when designing / building ?

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching the video 🙌 glad you enjoyed it. Re the lightening strikes, that is something that I will have to read up on. I have never experienced one myself whilst at sea

[@ray4sp]

@@YachtBuoy I am a fan of the FPB 78 and 97 - sorry that they quit building these boats as they are not pretentious but seem to be well thought out, offer range and speed. It almost loooks as though Arken have cued in on this design with their 85 footer. The other one of interest is the Metal Shark Yacht 48m cat - looks very impressive.

[@peterherd5982]

Vessels usually have a lightning conductor at the highest point of the main mast which earths to the keel

[@largemarge1603]

@@ray4sp As I understand it, the FPB-97/130 has a range of about 5,000+/-. A mere pittance compared to these at 22,000. . We see fuel capacity as a form of insurance. We can use the reserve to avoid weather, traffic, and the BureauOfJustifyingOurExistence.

2 Year old video and I am just seeing this now. Wonder why it took so long to see it. First, Love this over all. Perfect exterior colours. The cabins, not crazy about the colours or the looks (not the heads, which I love). The cabins look to much like hospital rooms. I would have them like the one yacht you did some time ago. The one that looked more like a floating home than a fancy hotel on the ocean. The bridge for me personally (though I would not have any say on how it looked because I would leave that up to the captain), I would have it looking more like the bridge on the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. Now you know why I would leave that up to the captain. The engine room, Love that!. Would not mind seeing more of this little row boat. Thank you. I am not sure if I ever mentioned how much I appreciate your videos, so I am now just in case.
