UNDER THE SKIN of a Bering Explorer Yacht 😳 Eps. 31 

Thanks for another look at the building process. I love how Alexei is willing to share bits of the building process like this, where other manufacturers would either be too secretive or too scared to show. I totally admire his dedication to his craft, and I love that you both document it for dreamers like me to watch. Thanks!

I love Alexei’s passion for quality. If I had the money, a Bering is the only boat in would buy.

Bering is my dream boat builder, my absolute favorite model is the B77. Thank you, NautiGuys/ NautiStyles for all you do. Keep it coming!❤❤

I don’t think it’s ever been done before ! Thx NautiGuys for making this documentary series on how a boat is built. Not just any boat but a high end explorer Yatch.

Every episode, we just keep seeing more and more quality used in the making of a Bearing yacht. So interesting.

Rico, I enjoyed your segment on the piping vs hoses. I'd like to see more segments from you. I also liked Victoria's explanation of safety & comfort vs space.

More and more impressed. I really like that Bering has no issue showing what is going on during the build process. Actually, they are proud to show everything. Instead of hoping something won't happen, they are preparing for it. After all, be a chunk of ice in arctic cruising, an unmarked rock in tropical cruising, or a mid ocean shipping container. Stuff happens. Cool stuff.

The 65 is a classic and i'm glad they still make it but i'm waiting for the first 72 to see how it looks in real shape

Alexei's absolute commitment to safety has always been one of the more impressive parts of Bering's designs.

Bering builds their boats to ship standards and using metal pipes instead of hoses is the mark of a great builder. They could save money, but 10 years from now, you would have very costly repairs. Your boat will last for many years with a minimum of problems thanks to the high standards Bering uses. Great video and I like you guys comments about safety and how metal pipes are so much better than hoses.

WOW! I actually understand what Rico is talking about with the hose and piping. I used to be a fluid systems engineer for a motorsports company. We did some stuff for an offshore oil drilling company for a demonstration rig and the quality we had to attain was out of this world.

As a structural engineer I really appreciate seeing everything that you can show us about your ship. I will never be on as many different ships and boats as you so your opinions on safety, functionality, and attractiveness, are so very valuable. Your actions are also very valuable too. Buying a Bearing Yacht and preparing and showing these videos of your ship’s building process and progress are actions that are awesome. Having Alexei Mikhailov describe and show his ship building philosophy is wonderful addition to your videos, too. Thank you!

Undeniable quality. You can sleep at night knowing you are surrounded by the Best !

Thank you so much Rico and Victoria for bringing Alexi and Bearings processes to us in your videos. I will purchase a Bearing 75 vessel when all the chips fall in the right order and I purchase my home on the water. I also really admire and trust Alexi !

14:10 For a great number of things in life, I'll take function over form if the job can still be accomplished effectively. One of the wonderful aspects of a Bering build is that they meld form AND function into one beautiful creation.

Love the behind-the-scenes tours.

Victoria, your dissertation on thicker walls and safety toward the end was one of the most salient, totally appropriate comments I've ever heard from you. While it's a no-brainer for us, for many, you are teaching. And you are teaching them very well. Keep up the great work.

13:12 "we are building a proper explorer yacht" - with a range of 5000 miles and a steel hull, I kinda figured so, lol.

Totally agree! Safety is not negotiable! Bering -- Safety and Silence -- a dream coupling! Love taking a break from Saturday morning chores to have some time with you three!

So cool the Alexei takes not only the time, but explains the process to people like myself that are new to this....excellent post!!! Please thank him for these updates!!! Great job you two!!!!

The 121 is a fantastic design, we definitely need a tour of it when its finished, again the 3d renders can only give you a small taste of its size. Now that we see the actual yacht ... ok it is massive!

Your channel is the best seller to Bering Yachts. I'm convinced to buy one. The only thing that is missing is money.

Every time Mr A talks, its like my college lectures. Brilliant stuff guys 👊 Fair play to ye for all the chats he,s sharing with ye. 👊🍻👏👏👏

I love how upfront and proud of his product Alex is. It is very encouraging. I really enjoy it. Now all I need is a winning Powerball ticket to turn it into reality

I'm ex navy this is mostly safety all "Ships" have to provide "Safety" it is a must ! I think that all large vessels 'That are large' is a must! All small vessels Cats so forth already meet those requirements! There building a future ! Great video!

Extremely interesting look into what makes Bering such a high quality ship. Alexi is an amazing example of what someone running a company should be like. I doubt the head of most companies is this hands on about everything going into the making of their product.

Great Video !! This is one hell of a Great Boat !! I agree safety is Everything !!

Bering, what other boat/ship builder takes the client and leads them through the welding process of the build? Just on that point I wouldn't let anyone build my boat but Bering, as usual you guys are the best, Rico,knowing now between pipe or hose has just saved future owners a large headache, it's why your in my eyes the most informative and realistic channel concerning the yachting industry, more please 🙏..

Safety FIRST on the ocean! Always good to hear that being discussed! Stay safe and keep rolling NautiGuys team and Alexi/Bering team! 👍👍

Thanks for ship building class today. Safety first, lead's to piece of mind later. Definitely on board for that one. Thanks again, hope you guys have a great day!🌊🌊

I totally agree with you about the safety features. Safety first is always the way to go!!!

Thank you for the video! It sounds like Bering is a forward-looking ship builder for using various metal materials for plumbing instead of hoses.

I concur. The 77 was awesome. That's a lot of boat for 77. Obvious from Victoria's response when she on their 75.

Awesome explanations. Thank you for the videos. My personal favorite as a owner operator is the 65. Absolutely love the video you did on Namaste.

Wow! This is a very informative video, with Rico's and Vic's personal explanations icing on the cake!!

Makes you realise how much goes behind the "pretty bits" to give the boat plenty of safety and comfort. Parts that only the boatyards mechanic will see and not the owner and their guests. Good video thanks to Alexis and Nautiguys.

Alexei is so good! He goes out of his way to inform us, and explain why the attention to details that differentiate his product vs. what many might consider to be the norm. Victoria says it very well, "Explorer yacht vs. island/coastal cruiser". When you are all alone in a remote area, and something has gone terribly wrong, the owners will appreciate the fact that the yacht is build to ship standards.

Love this. I remember some time ago a detailed explanation of the faring layers and how they’re applied as well, similar topic.

@ 6.50 what a great insight into the world of yachting, solid piping would be a must.

The funny thing,all the tech at the beginning of this video was just the on switch for Rico's sound system.

Really appreciate the hose vs pipe explanation.

Engine room looked like giant circuit boards....like being a little bug inside a super computer. So much forthought. Love these vlogs...gives my engineering brain happiness.

Totally agree with you Rico, re pipes Vs hoses

Thanks and kudos to Bering for allowing Rico and Victoria to document the build process. Bering obviously has total confidence in their employees and trust in their system and product - and boy, does it show! Such trust and respect for Alexei and Bering.

Fascinating! Go Bering! Love you guys. 😍🤩😘

When it comes to safety and comfort, you're preaching to the choir here.

Love, Love your videos. So informative!!! Makes me want a Bering more than ever

Everyone needs a good set of pipes, thanks Rico, great advice.

I have to say, Alexie and his company, the Bering yacht company, are one of the best custom yachts builders i have seen! when it comes time for me to have my yacht commissioned, I will be knocking on Bering yachts door! extremely impressed at the over engineering and care they put into each yacht they build! hopefully he will still be around in about 9 years!

I love these videos. Let's rock !

When other yachts go to the brakers a BERING will still be crossing the ocean's due to the high quality of design, materials, construction, and craftsmanship.

Your Explorer will be Sea Savey. Well built.

I like the 121 wow, that is a great looking yacht. Victoria, you look good in jeans by the way, classy casual.

Absolutely in love with Bearing Yachts! Definitely on my dream list. Really appreciate the attention to detail and the passion for building with quality. Agree with you completely on the safety aspect. I’d rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

One of RU-vid’s greatest channels. And Bering are brilliant.

I will never be in the position to buy a super yacht, or any yacht for that matter. I don't even like boats all that much. But man, if I ever did find myself shopping for a yacht my first call would be to Bering. Alexi is exactly the kind of person I'd want to build it for me.

A real ship - not plastic junk. Keep these build videos coming. Thanks.

Great info, again. The underlying structure is very important. Safety, safety, quiet and safety. These are what matters the most. great job on this video.

Such an informative episode guys - thank you. SO nailed it Victoria, Safety is and should be number one priority; so what if a door is narrower - better that than sinking! Alexi is so good and passionate explaining the whys and hows of all Bering construction. Love it!

What a fascinating video. I loved the detail and I could listen to Alexei all day! My admiration for Bering is even greater now.

I really enjoyed that episode.

He knows how to build an amazing ship. I have really enjoyed these videos.

I will watch every single "building process" videos that you post. This information is just fascinating, and 90+% of the boaters out there do not know these things about the build.

Such Impeccable Standards are Bering ❤️ Safety Standards on Vessels and Aircraft should Never be compromised, Well Done Alexei, Bering is The Standard for me personally. Thank You Victoria, Rico and Alexei for Such Information and Thank You Alexei for setting such High Standards on Bering Yatchts. Love Your work ❤️ - Paul - From Australia

Whenever convenient, can we get a better look at... and explanation of... the sea chest? Love your videos! Love your channels! Keep up the great work, and thank you so much!

I love these videos so much I learn so much I really really enjoy Rico talking tech or tech geeking out on something it’s always my favorite 😍 lol

another very informative video on how a Bering yacht is built

I was wondering if you two were going through any kind of studying or training to prepare for piloting your boat once it's ready to sail? There are lots of systems to learn about I would think. If you are it would make for a good segment of a video or an entire video.

So nice to see... as a kid, more than 30 years ago, I was lucky enough to see all the stages of a 60 meter Feadship built at the Kaag in the Netherlands. It made me want to become mariner... She is still going strong.

wow some amazing footage of the construction of the Bering yachts! Thanks for sharing NautiGuys and Alexi/Bering Team! 👍👍

This guy builds one hell of a boat. And he loves to show off its features, he's a proud papa.

Just a small addition to the hose topic, OdorSafe Plus hoses fare the best when it comes to odor permeation, however they come with the drawback that they are stiffer and harder to work with than most commercially available hose materials. But if your boat is big enough they are a good compromise when compared to straight plumbing! :)

Good talk on pipes vs hoses. Alexei seems very pleased to show the bones of his boats. And the quality of things you won't have to worry about like rust stains.

GFBSA.... The more I see, and learn about the construction of the Bering Yachts in general, the more people should understand just how good these craft really are, "under the skin"... Having built off-shore leisure craft myself, I really appreciate how the element of safety, features so importantly. If I were ever in the market for a large cruising yacht, I would look no further than Bering Yachts. Can't wait to see the next episode of how your Bering 75 is coming together 😁... Awesome, as always guys. Take care, and be safe out there. Warm regards - Tim

Oh hey, I always love your guises videos. Why don't you do a video on the different models that bearing offers. I know some of the models are similar and then just different sizes but why would you choose the 120 over the 125 or the 77 over the 80 it would be really fascinating to go down the bearing lineup and show the evolution and why you would want to choose one over the other. Hope to see you guys in Miami in October.

I agree with you about the safety standards. For those who don't think that the forward watertight bulkhead is worth it, I hope you enjoy your more open and spacious boat while you are drowning. 😋

The choice of hoses versus pipes explains both costs and quality. This video helped clarify what the trade offs actually are. Now the real challenge is understanding what a brokerage boat actually offers.

Each day I get to see WHY you really went with Bering, truly a masterpiece

Great video, Thank you... I agree with you about safety and build quality... I would worry about colliding with a submerged container seeing that they are failing off ships all the time and float for an incredible or unknown time.

The best quality boat builders in the world by far.

Even more reasons to love the channel! Lucky number bingo! While 14 isn't exactly my lucky number, it is in my lucky number universe. The story is much too long, but 43 (4+3=7) plays a part. All multiples of 7 fit in my lucky number world. Seven and 49 (7 squared) are the twin pentacles. I can't wait for next week.

LOVE the team work work in this video. Perfect training even for an old sailor. Thanks for this content, hope you can during with more.

What is the finish date? How long has it been under construction?

I love seeing people do things the right way.

That drawing of the 75 is beautiful

Love, love, love this type of content!! More please. Plus, Alexei is a rockstar!

In a world where compromise is common, Alexei and Bering just don’t! There’s nothing as comfortable and reassuring as when safety and quality are given top priority. Very well done! 🥃

Very interesting build processes. I never would’ve known if I hadn’t seen it here. And you’re right. Safety is a big factor when you’re out in the middle of the ocean or off grid somewhere. You can never seem to have enough floatation when your boat/ship is sinking.

Enjoyed and understood Rico's comments about pipes vs hoses over the long run - however, would have liked him to address any difference in difficulty/cost to repair a damaged pipe vs a damaged hose. It seems like replacing a leaking hose between the head and holding tank might be a lot easier than replacing a piece of cracked pipe…

This process continues to amaze me. The finished product will be awesome & a true masterpiece.

I’m ordering a Bering within a month of winning the lottery. So excited!

love this format! i'm so often left confused. TY

Absolutely LOVE the details of the tech stuff and piping and all that he goes in to. I would be the same way. I want the best of the best day one.. so as not to have to worry about issues like smell, corrosion, etc. Remove all the potential issues that you CAN solve for out of the gate so you don't worry about it. As he said, if something breaks.. that's different. But out of the gate you know you got the best solution, at a cost sure, but you're putting in a few mil or more. I say this VERY thing in my house. We got super cheap .30c outlets (about 30 of them in the house) that constantly break. Super cheap China junk. For about $60 more in total, they could have put in much better outlets that wouldn't break. That I am doing manually now to replace all the cheap outlets. Same with network cable.. Cat 7 existed when home was built, 1Gbps network was already pretty normal. Why not put Cat6 or Cat7 in the walls and run 3 or 4 of them to every room.. just in case. It would cost a couple hundred or so more in total, and you future proof the home for decades. Instead we got cheap china Cat5E ran everywhere, loss packets, etc. Drives me nuts! OH.. and our electrical wiring.. multiple rooms tied to a single 15amp fuse. What in the F where the designers thinking. We constantly blow circuits. It's unreal to me why every single room doesnt have one or two good 20amp wiring in the wall to ensure you got plenty of power to all areas of the house. Just piss poor design. This is why (after my long response) I love the Bering company and NautiGuys constant need to go in to detail about things like this! My kind of people! :) If I was rich I'd be hitting you up to work with you to build a Bering boat!

What a amazing and super informative video, great stuff!

I appreciate your detailed and clear description of the construction of your future home and business I am fascinated with boat construction both luxury and sail thank you

Smart to make a vessel that size safe with water tight doors

He has nothing to hide, because everything is done the way it should be done. No cutting corners.

Treating a ship like a plane and not cutting corners, especially on safety or comfort makes Berring Yacht's a reference in yacht building. You guys got it right for you and your guests when Victoria said "Please don't change anything" after teasing Alexeï on features taking space. "We have nothing to hide": Alexeï is a legend.

Great insights, thank you!

Thanks!
