37m Bering yacht relaunched following extensive refit at Reviva Refit

Reviva Refit, the refit brand of Turkish shipyard Mengi Yay, has announced the relaunch of the 37.4-metre Bering motor yacht B121 following the completion of an extensive refit. 

Known as Project R16, the refit programme for B121 began in October 2025 and spanned around six months to meet her scheduled April launch date. 

The refit was a structural and functional "reinvention", according to the shipyard. The largest of the works was a two-metre hull extension, whereby the yacht was "nearly cut through" at midship to enhance operational capabilities and improve stability and seakeeping.

Other major works were completed within the yacht's beach club; once a leisure area with a sauna and gym, the space has been transformed into a garage for stowing and easy access to one large tender and two Jet Skis. Alongside this, the petrol storage area was re-engineered and certified to RINA Commercial Unrestricted Navigation class rules.

The ceiling crane and shell door system were also modified and tested, with a new starboard-side shell door and an overhead lifting solution added to enable smooth and efficient handling of tenders and toys. Another addition was a new upper deck staircase, which has been fabricated and integrated into the superstructure and repainted accordingly. To complete the works, B121 underwent a full exterior repaint. 

A statement from the yard read: "What began as an ambitious refit has proven to be one of the most technically demanding superyacht conversion projects undertaken in Turkey — and a testament to Mengi Yay's engineering depth, operational flexibility and unwavering commitment to delivery. Not many yards in the world can execute a project of this nature — structural, regulatory and mechanical — under one roof, on one timeline."

Delivery of the superyacht, which was first launched in 2024 by Turkish shipyard Bering Yachts, is scheduled imminently.

The relaunch comes at a busy time for the refit yard, which announced that works were also underway on the 47.9-metre motor yacht Mirabella, originally delivered in 2004 by US yard Trinity Yachts, at the start of the year.
