Bering Yachts collaborates with RMK Yachts to construct expedition superyachts

Turkish shipyard Bering Yachts has signed a collaboration agreement with RMK Yachts to construct expedition superyachts over 500 GT. 

The partnership aims to deliver vessels that combine high-latitude capability with the volume, comfort and advanced systems expected of modern yachts.

Under the terms of the agreement, Bering Yachts will remain at the helm of design direction, brand identity and client relationships. Meanwhile, RMK Yachts will leverage its construction infrastructure and engineering platforms to support larger, more technically demanding projects, such as highly customised superyachts in the 500–3,000 GT range.

"We primarily focus on the construction of superyachts above 40 metres and 500 GT at RMK Yachts’ facilities, including vessels with Polar Class capability, and are already engaged in discussions with prospective clients for projects within this segment," said Alexei Mikhailov, founder and CEO of Bering Yachts

"We believe this collaboration creates an opportunity not only to expand our capabilities in building and selling superyachts, but also to establish a strong position in this highly specialised market."

Kristina Güner, creative director at Bering Yachts, added: "True exploration has always been at the heart of Bering Yachts. Our collaboration with RMK Yachts opens a new chapter, enabling us to draw on its extensive engineering expertise and shipbuilding capabilities as we bring our vision of expedition yachting to an entirely new scale. We are combining the freedom to explore the world’s most remote destinations with exceptional design, comfort, and advanced engineering.”

According to BOATPro data, Bering Yachts has six yachts currently under construction, while RMK Yachts has three on its order book, including the soon-to-be-delivered 50-metre Aries.
