The sleek, ice-class vessel finally hit the sea last Thursday.
The explorer left the Bering shipyard in Turkey last Thursday.
The hybrid propulsion system, meanwhile, enables long-distance cruising. Essentially, the electric motors are powered by a bank of batteries that are recharged by high-efficiency, variable-speed DC generators. As for performance, the vessel’s twin Caterpillar C32 Acert motors give her a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. She also has an enormous fuel capacity of nearly 26,000 gallons and an autonomous range in excess of 5,000 nautical miles.
With a volume of 499 GT, the spacious interior can sleep up to 12 guests across six cabins, as well as 11 crew within four cabins and a captain’s cabin. Located on the main deck toward the bow, the owner’s stateroom comes complete with giant glass windows spanning more than 100 square feet for unmatched sea views. Elsewhere, the three-decker features a huge saloon, a dining room with a 12-seat table and a plush lounge.
“We are very proud to have this first hull in the model range to be launched on the water,” Bering’s founder Alexei Mikhailov said in a statement. “This will be the beginning of a new chapter for the Bering Yachts company.”
