The Bering 165 is a 50 metre long Explorer with 499 GT. While the order for build number one has now been finalised, further negotiations are already underway. The five-decker was designed by Valentin Design (exterior lines), Eureka Yachts (construction) and Aberton Yachts (layout). The papers state a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
The launch of the Bering 78 was very emotional. The 23.85 metre-long steel explorer was launched in Antalya in the presence of the owner. With tears in his eyes and a broad smile, he thanked the entire team for realising his dream. "This is the boat I've been waiting for all my life," he explained, adding that he was looking forward to the sea trials to see how the yacht behaves at sea. Shipyard report Bering Yachts.
The further development of the B70 series
The Bering 78 continues the successful B70 series. At just under 24 metres in length, it offers more volume, flexibility and comfort for both owners and crew. At the same time, it retains Bering's core DNA: exceptional seaworthiness, long-distance capacity and a high level of practicality.
She is powered by two Cummins QSL 9 engines with 285 hp each, which propel the yacht to a cruising speed of eight knots and a top speed of ten knots. The fuel-efficient displacement hull ensures a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles, while the draught of 1.45 metres also makes coastal anchorages and shallow bays accessible.
A bow that cuts through the waves
The most striking external feature of the Bering 78 is the negative stem. Instead of "climbing" over waves, the bow cuts cleanly through them, which significantly reduces pitching and ensures a much smoother ride in any sea state.
Inside, the yacht impresses with its contemporary and comfortable equipment, while the layout offers plenty of scope for individual owner wishes.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
