The next phase of construction begins with the turning of the 33-metre-long hull: aluminium superstructures, installation of systems and interior fit-out. Fatih Sürekli of Red Yacht Design witnessed the spectacular manoeuvre first-hand. The studio designed both the exterior lines and the interior concept.
The Bering 110 was, however, designed as a crossover, not as a larger explorer yacht. It combines a robust steel hull with a range of 5,000 nautical miles and the volume and quality of a superyacht.
Powertrain and range
Two engines provide a cruising speed of around ten knots and a top speed of 13 knots. With a fuel capacity of 47,000 litres and generous fresh water and provisions supplies, the yacht is designed for weeks of self-sufficient operation with ten guests and five crew members. At a speed of 10.5 knots, the range is 4,000 nautical miles, making non-stop ocean crossings feasible.
“This vessel is for people interested in genuine exploration, long voyages far from the coast and a comfortable life on board,” says Alexei Mikhailov, founder and CEO of Bering Yachts.

Red Yacht Design kept the exterior lines clean and contemporary, whilst retaining the practical deck layout and tender capacity of a long-range yacht. Inside, the studio has created a tranquil ambience using warm woods. An asymmetrical saloon makes full use of the yacht’s beam and brings guests close to the sea.
“I’m really excited today,” says Fatih Sürekli of Red Yacht Design. He is delighted that the idea of a versatile, comfortable long-range yacht with Bering Explorer DNA is now taking shape. He and his team are following the build process with genuine pleasure and can hardly wait to see the 110 in the water.
