The "takeaway", is that you get what you pay for. They wanted custom options on the 75 model, typically only offered on the 82. Bering simply reclassified the ship to account for the extra costs. This was mainly done for accounting purposes...

I figured it out from a simple search on their most recent "affordable yacht", Carver...One year, it was marketed as a 46 "model", and subsequent models marketed as "506", models; Due to the extented swim pad. Of you chose the 506 model without the pad, it would still be classified as a 506 model if extra interior/engine room upgrades were ordered...

[@waltervanderboor]

As owner of an insurance company and agent for yachts for 25 years (and yachtsman for most of my life) I can confirm that your information is spot on. At underwriting, during underwriting we look pretty much at how much damage you can cause e.g. an 18 year old with 500 hp and a license is a huge question mark, but a 100 ft yacht with a 60 year old captain with 40 years of experience? We care less for his official license, Although we do prefer he has one, then we look at what the regulation under that flag says. I agree that the numbers may cause confusion, giving models a name would be good idea. with square foot, how do you deal with that? wet area? Try a catamaran...wet area so much smaller than used space. Hence in general marinas use the square meters used for their pricing and so do most cleaners. Ideally there are no rules and additional regulation for something that people may decide for them selves. Who cares what the number is? BTW in the UK for example they work with the wet area, a far overhanging bow, does not add to length, nor do bolt on or none-fixed constructions. Hence a 88 ft (26.8 meters) can qualify to be under 24 meter... What a lot of people do not realize that the boat flag pretty much determines which rules to follow. These are all great subjects for videos.

[@bjornhojgaard]

The 24m is complex. It is "load line length", which is neither LOA nor w/l length. The rules say LLL is the greater of: (i) 96% of the total length on a waterline at 85% of the least moulded depth measured from the top of the keel, and (ii) the length from the foreside of the stem to the axis of the rudder stock on that waterline. For most monohull boats that means LLL is 96% of w/l length as (i) is greater than (ii). BUT the word "length" also carries its own definition, and helpfully it is: "the overall length from the foreside of the foremost fixed permanent structure to the aftside of the aftermost fixed permanent structure of the vessel". So you exclude swim platform, pulpits, davits, rubbing strakes, etc.

[@icketot]

There are different guidelines in Germany. On inland waters, there is a length limit of 20 meters for a sports boat license. Depending on the water, boats under 15 hp can be driven without a license. There are no lengths or performance restrictions for sailing on the sea for purely private use, but you still need to have the sport boat license.

[@BruceHaugh]

Thanks guys! I especially appreciate your comments regarding insuring a boat & licensing to operate a boat.

[@OliverMoore1973]

A swim platform or duck board is like a tow bar on a car. A car's length is always measured bumper to bumper. As far as model names and numbers in the name not matching up to specifications of the vessel is not really relevant these days and are just a talking point. I think Mercedes-Benz made this adjustment years ago where their model numbers stopped representing the capacity of the engines eg. A 420 SE was a 4.2 litre and a 300 E was a 3.0 litre and so forth. I think the first to change this trend was the 560 SEC and SE/SEL. It was actually a 5.5 litre, but odd numbers were delegated to diesel vehicles, and another example is the AMG 63 motor which is actually a 6.2, but the marketing people felt 63 sounded better after the AMG name.

[@hugoglenn9741]

I’m just a novice but I do deal with regulations as a Heavy driver (Flyer). When you are in the large categories licenses may be by GT but when you are shorter lengths Rules and regulations and costs are many by length. Such as whether a boat has to be titled or can be Coast Guard titled, what style and placement of navigation lights, beam and length for trailoring, whether it will fit in a slip, cost of the slip rental or transient fees and so on.

Hello NautiGuys, your explanation on your vessels LOA is very well stated, and you broke it down in simple terms. You two make a great crew together, and I like your channel.

[@pauldbeer]

In South Africa, where I live, a competency license is acquired for the use of any for any motor driven vesel of 15hp or more and being longer than 3.0 meters, what ever least of is applicable. Different levels of competency is required as these vessels grow in size and HP of the motors. Motor HP is less important, as competency is determined more by the vessel's water way utilization and size. For instance, water-ways are categorized as inland dams, lakes and rivers, on the one end, and sea going on the other. Boats are either motorised or under sail and/or rowing, and those have different size categories for captaincy and insurance purposes. Boat sizes are ruffly, as I might get the precise lengths wrong, 3m to 9m, 9-20m, and >20, and then tonnage as the LOA goes above 28m On the smaller vessels, distinction is also made between the number of motors. For example, in South African sea waters, boats with a single engine, are not allowed to go further than 1 nautical-mile from land without another means of propulsion, like either sails or another motor. Exception is made for bigger vessels above 20m, that may have one engine but then it must have another means of securing the vessel or making it save for itself or other boaters, if the main means of propulsion is lost. Competency, in all cases, are measured and determined by the authorities through predetermined curriculum and the completion of an exam. These are policed, just like licencing for the use of motor vehicles on public roads, mostly by police, but also by nature conservation authorities, for inland waters, and the "coast-guard", for sea fearing vessels. I currently hold a competency certificate for both inland, single and multi-motor driven vessels, as well as a certificate for multi-motor vessels to 9 meters LOA, for use out to 15 nautical-miles at sea. One can supplement these by attaining a licence addendum for use at night. To legally go beyond 15 nautical miles, it is required to have a vessel bigger than 9 meters in length, with more than one means of propulsion, and a night rating. This will be what is required to basically operate a motorised vessel on the open ocean.

[@FlyWithMe_666]

14:22 In Germany you need a pleasure boat license for > 15HP (was 5HP or so until 2012), up to 20m length. Different licenses for inland waterways and coastal waters, although the tests are quite similar. Other license types if > 20m, commercial use etc.

[@NautiGuys]

Thanks for the insight!!

[@gamingundco8770]

I think that the 20m limit only applies to intercoastal waterways. In coastal waters there is no limitation but only if the boat is designated for free time activities you just need a Basic Licens of it is a private boat.

[@ingob.1541]

@@gamingundco8770 That is correct. Inland up to 20 meters and at sea unlimited as long as it is private. There is a regulation at sea (coast) up to 15 meters and up to 15 HP without a license.

I’ve always wondered why boat manufacturers start out calling a boat say 40’. Then after a couple years they change absolutely nothing pertaining to physical size then it becomes a 42’ and sometimes a few more years later the exact boat then is called a 44’. My boat is an older 39’ and the newer boats that are labeled 42’ have far less beam and interior volume than my older boat. I’m glad they call my 39’ foot because in my state the registration goes way up 40’ and larger. I was told if the boat has a bolt on swim platform which mine does they rate the length not including the platform. Boats with integrated swim platform that count it as part of the length.

[@runeshadow]

[@Fridtjof2020]

As far as insurance is concerned, there is no obligation in Germany, but it is advisable to take out insurance. You can complete this without having to prove how much experience you have with boats/ships. Rather, the value of the boat/ship is of interest. However, if you want to travel abroad, insurance is mandatory. You can then take out this through foreign insurance if you otherwise do not have insurance for the boat/ship.

[@jeremyweaver4875]

Thank you for doing this video! It really helped understanding the difference between US and Europe regs, and how much insurance affects the boat size, you guys are the best!

[@Crazy_Worlds]

LOA, Length Over All, tends to include something like a swim platform, or a fixed bowsprit in the case of a sailing yacht. LOD, Length Over Deck, is the best expression of a boat’s length but has little relevance to anything else such as mooring fees or certification. LWL, Length Waterline, which is the distance between the stem and the stern where they touch the water, and is most commonly referred to when talking about subjects like the hull speed of the vessel. LLL, Load Line Length, is the most relevant dimension in respect of regulations, which by some definitions, but not all, is the length of the vessel fully loaded between the stem of the boat where it meets the water and the rudder post even if the rudder is set forward of the stern part of the boat which meets the water. And it is this last dimension that determines the 24m / 200grt rule which NautiGuys are working to. So you could theoretically have a 90ft LOD, 100ft LOA, yacht with a 23.99m LLL and be within the 24m certification rule so long as you are also under 200grt. Hope that helps. 😬

[@jonblair5470]

I like the GT idea, vs the “length” as the model number. The idea of just naming the boats can get really complicated really quick, like your 75/82 might be know as ROX or whatever but there’s so much customization, so every ROX model is practically different from each other so the manufacturer name almost doesn’t matter. Because an engineer or marina or diver will still need way more info. But the GT idea is pretty good idea, those people would still need more info but I still like that, because it’s accurate to that boat vs an arbitrary name or model number that doesn’t match loa to begin with

[@taz9433]

If you own it and you're not taking people out for hire you don't need to get a captains license. If you are going out for hire (ie. for hire meaning; if you're hiring boat hands going out with you on any boat or if you are chartering for a cruise, it or fishing you need a license for any boat) another words if you are paying employees or if you are getting paid by customers on your boat for leaving the dock with them on it you'll need a captains license. Some states are like Rico said pushing into effect that anyone driving a boat of almost any size will need a boosters safety certificate and if you're getting a loan to buy a boat the bank will require insurance and the insurance may require you to get your license for the size of boat you're insuring.

[@markbaker6131]

I love this channel because I love these big boats ( yachts). But my favorite is the explorer models in all sizes. The bering brand is second to none it seems. What is odd about me liking these boats, is the fact that I am terrified of the ocean and I get physically ill when I am near a ship or crossing high bridges. And I am the shop Foreman for a bridge building company. FYI, I rarely leave the shop and go to any job site. Love the videos.

[@miguelsmith9622]

I agree with 80% here are my 2cents: 1. The diver most definitely will have to WORK more, because within the same LOA the square foot area will be xx% more. 2. Loa is used in the pleasurcraft to calculate dockage, even some marinas actually measuring your boat as it enters. LWL is commercially and I personally think that's more a valuable way to judge, since overhangs actually hinder your abilities in rough seas

[@simonbrown4653]

A good rule of thumb is on the smaller sides, your insurance will give you grief if you move up more than 10 ft at a time. So 36-46 no problem..36-50.. problem and this is where either having a 6 pack license or training would be required. Each insurance company is different but in the USA it's a good rule of thumb

[@SergeantFacts]

I think they will be just fine $$ wise I don't think anything is a issue lol Just a regional confusion. Love the videos keep em coming Bering 82 typically ranges around $8 million to $10 million, depending on customization and specifications. After Purchase and Maintenance Costs PMCS is insane never thought of half of these Annual Maintenance: Maintenance costs, including engine servicing, hull cleaning, and general upkeep, can range from $150,000 to $300,000 per year. Insurance: Annual insurance costs are approximately $30,000 to $50,000. Docking and Storage: Costs vary by location but generally range from $30,000 to $60,000 annually. Running Costs Crew Salaries: Employing a small crew of 2-3 members will cost around $100,000 to $200,000 per year. Provisions and Supplies: These costs can range from $50,000 to $100,000 annually, depending on usage and destinations. Miscellaneous: Additional costs such as licensing, internet, and satellite communications can add another $10,000 to $20,000 per year. Fueling Prices The Bering 82 has a fuel capacity of 24,178 liters (6,387 gallons). The cost of marine diesel fuel varies, but as of mid-2024, the price is approximately $4 to $5 per gallon, making a full refuel cost between $25,548 and $31,935.

[@Haladmer]

Gross Tonnage is really one of the best compromises on measurement metrics vs model number. The biggest industry hurdle is likely going to be that using it as a model number you're going to be more easily able to compare vessels in regards to size/volume (which I think is why you see it in commercial and super yacht markets, because you're dealing with so much volume in general) I've also come to like the LWL (Length at Water Line) for getting more realistic idea of livable space, not structural LOA, because for most "under 60" LOA vessels LWL * Beam is much more accurate than LOA * Beam. At least in most of the cases I've seen so far when trying to figure out which models are likely to have the most livable space. Either way, thank you for the more detailed look into the insurance and captain license requirements!

As a boat builder and designer I completely understand this. I found this issue 15+ years ago with boats being imported from New Zealand into Australia. We adopted LOA as the model number to compete but also found the gross weight on the NZ boats was up to 30% less of what we were building. Gross weight is the only way to compare boats from builder to builder.

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

An interesting comparison would be the way BMW used to designate their different models. For example 535i used to mean 5 Series, 3.5 liter engine, Injected. Nowadays it's marketing for the most part but totally understandable for distinguishment of trim levels, options and capabilities.

[@dashudashu1326]

Your insurance comments are totally on point. I have had boats for 40 years. The insurance companies will always ask about ownership history and any training you might have. The one question they always have is: Have you had any insurance claims in the past 7 years? Trust me, this is the big one.

[@RichSterrett-ny6ty]

This question is for Rico. If I am correct, you have twin QSM11 Cummins diesel engines in your new boat. Seems extremely under powered for a Bearing 82. QSM11 is a very dependable engine. Have worked on Cummins diesel engines for over 30yrs. Why not go with QSK23. It's still an inline 6 cylinder engine, just puts out way more power. At any rate, very good choice in engines.

I like Rico's idea of using square footage rather than length or beam width or even gross tonnage, because most people (in the U.S. anyway) are already very familiar with that sort of measuring stick when it comes to real estate, so it would be a pretty simple way to convey the true size of a boat that could be readily understood by all. Just a thought.

The same exact 78' that is chartered by a captain and pro crew is a CCO-CoV-AL-Std-23.8m/80 (CIV). If it is NOT chartered but IS crewed, then it could be designated as a COO-PrV-AL-Std-23.8m/80t (PIV) If this boat was 180tonnes steel hull, fully commercial compliant with chartered crew (private owner use) CCO-PrV-ST-Com-23.8m/180T (PIV) OwO = Owner Operator COO = Professional Captain/Owner/Operated vessel (mixed crew) CCO = Professional Captain/Crew/Operated vessel PrV = Private use vessel CoV = Commercial vessel PCV = Privately owned and operated charter vessel ChV = Chartered vessel (non-Private) WD = Wood hull FG = Fiberglass hull AL / A = Aluminum or Aluminum Alloy ST = Steel CP = Composite CF = Carbon Fiber RIB = Rigid Inflatable Boat OTH = Other (specify in registration) Std = Built to Common standards Com = Built to Commercial standards X.xloa (XL) = units of length Overall (universally in meters preferably) / = divider of length and tonnage Xgt (XT)= Number of gross tonnes Private Vessel Insurer (PVI) -- Commercially Insured Vessel (CIV)

Thank you for the explanations. I like the idea in the end of having a system per square foot. It seems to me that it would be so much simpler.

[@deniermurch8693]

Thank you, in an unclear situation, I think you did your best to clarify the matter.

[@paton57]

Totally agree Rico, thats the first thing I do when watching a yacht tour, Length by beam gives a good indication of volume

[@NautiGuys]

👌🏼🙏

[@MrJohnBos]

Leave it to the boat marketing departments to create FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) about LOA, LWL, GT, DWT, etc. Thank you for clearing up all the confusion, you guys rock! I cant wait to see your Bering 82 floating in the water. Personally, I believe that everyone who drives a boat with an engine should have the appropriate education, training and licensing to be at the helm.

[@NautiGuys]

Thanks for hanging with us!

[@Phil-PF62]

Great discussion. When you're shopping for a 20 meter/65 ft boat you'd be very upset to spend time and energy to travel only to find out that 65' is really only 57' because of marketing. Perhaps length at or along waterline (LWL) and beam is a more realistic measure w/ volume as a secondary. No one want to pay for an extended swim platform or 5' extra of unusable bow just to store anchor chain and bumpers just to call a true 65 foot a 70 footer.

[@josephc.1776]

That was a good point about the size of the hull vs hull + swim platform.

[@patrickabas1112]

I have a Dutch license and i can do 40 meters non-commercial. I think for me the limiting factor will be if any insurance company will accept you. Holland and Germany is the same. Everything over 20 meter needs a secondary licence. In general you will need a boater license for everything with an engine that goes faster than 16 km/h or is larger than 15 meters.

[@DaveBrandt96]

I am shocked that you had negative feedback about the rebrand conversation as you and Alexei were truly clear that the change was predicated upon Volume, not length. Having said that, your explanation today was excellent, and as always beautifully stated.

[@HSTWXMAN]

This is the same argument in the RV space. No RV is ever the length of the model number.

[@baldbastardo]

Here we have two licensed captains who live and breathe this stuff. They're experienced in many aspects of the boating and chartering industry and are actively involved in various businesses. Globally. They've recently partnered with a respected builder and collectively have access to a century of know-how, experience and advise. The internet: you guys don't know what you're doing! Lol. People really do have a problem staying within their own wheelhouses. Pun intended. I'm gonna hazard a guess and say you've probably done your research and looked into options. Let's just call that a hunch. :) I have a tendency to tell those people to just shut up and sit down so must commend your patience. And if i was that hypothetical diver? Maybe take beam into consideration as well? Scope of work is a thing. All that aside - When do we get to see the progress on the big girl?

[@NautiGuys]

Thank youuuu! We have a HUGE announcement next weekend for you guys!!

[@markl8111]

I absolutely enjoy these kind of sit-down conversations.

[@NautiGuys]

So happy to hear 🙏

[@johannesthalmayr8675]

German Boat Licences are a bit confusing. There are 2 different ones. With the „SBF Binnen“ (for Inner Coastel Waters, Rivers) I am limited to 20m boat length. Exception: Only 15m on the Rhine. With the „SBF See“ (for marine waters) itself, there is no length limit (For Pleasure boats, no paid crew). The 24m regulation is only important if I drive boats with the German boat license in other Countrys such as the Mediterranean.

[@NautiGuys]

Thank you for sharing!

[@thomasw5430]

Gee I figured with no video from Nautiguys yesterday, we weren’t getting one from this channel as well. I was happily shocked to see this pop up. Thank you for clearing this misunderstanding up. Great explanation!!Insurance is the biggest hindrance to boat ownership. Nicky and Jason talked about this on their video today. The flag state choice was driven by the insurance- and lack there of of insurers writing policies. Don’t muddy the waters with square footage. BTW- nice shirt RICO!

[@NautiGuys]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gnsmk357]

We are happy for you guys no matter what the numbers were/are. I am one of these guys that will not allow any company to tell me what I have to do before they take my monies banks/ins co ect. Boat paid for own where its parked. Only thing is spouse will not go for dumping the two homes we own for that 80 ft sail boat I need. Great video.

[@NautiGuys]

Thank you 🙏

[@rosemarieroberts-h3h]

Thank you for the update. I don't know what the problem was. You explained it all with Alexei. Love you guys! Take care! 🤩😍😘

[@user-ln8hp4vt5z]

Beautiful Vessel 🚢 great Build. Thank you.

[@NautiGuys]

Thank you very much! 💙⚓️

[@masterwatch]

I was thinking space should be on an actual space used so if boat is wider like a catamaran and/ or the boat has a long platform that extends its top footprint perhaps all marina costing should be on that. A captain training is very useful though as people who have not done any day skipper training will not have a clue and these people always seem to crash boats.

[@carlray7224]

LOL!!!!! The 'I'm not crazy guy' " is your microphone on? " while we all sit here quite happily just listening to Victoria if it isn't. Someone has to guide the conversation Rico so probably be thankful for that. On a serious note when the video in question dropped initially the title lead me to believe that Alexi had in fact opted to upgrade to a new larger boat build perhaps because of the obvious marketing potential you guys offer. Then it quickly became apparent (to me at least) that Bering had decided on a model rename - nothing more nothing less. So I'm genuinely surprised that anyone would interpret the situation differently. Physically the same boat since the hull was first laid down so all regs / dimensions as applied at the outset continue to apply unchanged. A smart move on Alexi's part letting the model number provide him with a walk up opportunity to emphasise the 'volume' / beam / displacement his product offers for comparison purposes. Hope you blokes don't go cheap on the bottle of champers that breaks across the bow😂😂😂 Excitement building, can't wait!!!

[@Coxtoasten12]

If I had the money I would have a captain on board, carpenter, electrician, diesel mechanic, boat plumber, weatherman, and chef for starters. lol Luv your channel.

[@StageMan57]

I saw your tour of the Bering 77. Maybe that's what you should have stayed with! But, anyway any of us Subscribers and/or viewers look at it! It's no skin off our ass! LOL, LOL, LOL! I just enjoy watching your COMPREHENSIVE tours! I've been on KZbin the day they went live online and have been watching boat tours since I could find them. I can say UNEQUIVOCALLY YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! And I know why! You actually put in the work! You go through the boat before you video the tour. That's why you're so smooth and comprehensive. I registered a KZbin Channel that when Google bought KZbin something go screwed up and I lost access. New rules processes and procedures may allow me access again.

[@tomriley5790]

They did stay with it.

[@dustup2249]

You dig deeper and deeper with every explanation. Let's face it, the viewer confusion is actually a wonderful thing, because it proves your channel's appeal is wider than the yachting industry's enthusiasts who understand that renaming the model is not the same as cutting the hull in two and adding a 4 foot section. Mass appeal of your channel isn't necessarily for the vessels in your case--- it's for your chemistry as a couple who are also witty YT influencers. We would watch you if you whether you had an off the grid lifestyle or skydiving channels.

[@kevinfleming9919]

Great explanations that were easy to understand. I have one question about crewing a boat. Is there a size, either by length or tonnage, where a Yacht is required in any country to have a crew on board full time? I thought one time on AQUAHOLIC that Nick was interviewing a man from the Princess Yachts about a new model and they said something about how since the actual hull was a certain length (I think it was about 80 feet) and the structure of the rest of the boat that made it around 90 feet was only bolted on to it that it kept the Yacht down to a size that could be Owner Operated with no full time crew requirements. He may have been speaking of no Captain having to be hired or something and you didn't need a Captains license but for some reason it stuck in my head later that there may be a full time crew having to always be on board for safety reasons for larger Yachts in some countries.

[@wilson4328]

Thanks for dedicating an entire video for all the Karens in your audience. Love you guys!

[@terencelarkin5959]

Our SeaRay was 330 and it was 35 LOA and the confusion is endless. Great presentation.

[@JustRandomRob]

Ahhh shucks, I was hoping to get a good deal on your B75 hull since you guys got “tricked” into the upgraded B82 😉 (just in case - this is a joke, please don’t get caught up the semantics) Good job guys, continuing congrats on this exciting project, would love to crew your big prop boat someday!

[@NautiGuys]

👌🏼🙏😆

[@СергейДенискин-д6ц]

Спасибо. Интересно и информативно. Рад, что вы смело идете к своей цели :)

[@peterparsons7141]

Canada has implemented licensing requirements for Small motor boat operators , many different classes of license. I believe that operator licenses for all motor boats is beneficial for everyone, and it is an improvement over the past. I’ve been boating all my life and it was ridiculously dangerous to have unqualified operators navigating busy water ways in small boats.

[@RelativelyRichLife]

Wow! New subs and wannabe yachters here. I’ve been binge watching your tours on @nautistyles and your nbb on this channel. Love your transparency and thx for sharing real information.

[@linsen8890]

I agree with Rico 100% about knowing the square footage of the boat. The volume is interesting, but for those of us without much experience with larger boats, yachts, really, and maybe for many that do, square footage (or square meters for metric users) is more accessible, since we can relate it to the size of a house or building.

[@NautiGuys]

🙏💙

[@linsen8890]

@@NautiGuys Adding to my comment - knowing the square footage or square meters of each deck would be helpful (for me anyway) to understand better how the space in the boat is divided up and used. Like, I know my living room is x square feet; how does that compare to the size of the salon, etc.

[@toddlarson3602]

I am not worried about your cost I am just happy to see another video! Had to watch Nautiguys! 😂
