Turkish shipyard Bering Yachts has launched the second hull of its rebranded 26.2-metre Bering 88 (B88) explorer yacht.
Built in steel, the B88 offers over 256 square metres of interior space, with accommodation for 10 guests across five cabins, including a full-beam master suite that spans the yacht's 8.1-metre beam and crew quarters for a team of five. Expanded outdoor areas provide space for al fresco dining and entertaining.
The vessel features a fuel capacity of 39,000 litres, providing a range of over 5,000 nautical miles at an 8.5-knot cruising speed, with power coming from twin Cummins QSM11 450hp engines.
Other key specs include a 2.4-metre draught and an internal volume of 235GT.
“We’re really happy to have her in the water,” said Alexei Mikhailov, founder and CEO of Bering Yachts. “This boat is fully equipped for the long journeys ahead — completely self-sufficient, with everything needed for weeks of independent life at sea without relying on shore infrastructure. We can’t wait to take her out for the first sea trials and see how she performs.”
“We’re so proud of how the whole Bering Yachts team has been pushing the boundaries on this project,” added Kristina Güner, creative director at Bering Yachts. “We believe this is one of the strongest explorer yachts in the sub-24-metre class. We put all our expertise into this yacht to make her thoughtful, comfortable and logical for both guests and crew. The result is a highly competitive boat full of smart, standout solutions that actually make a real difference at sea.”
This marks the second hull launched by Bering Yachts this year, following the delivery of the first unit from its 23.9-metre Bering 78 explorer yacht series, named Slow Ride.
