Bering Yachts Launches First 44.2m B145 Explorer Yacht

By Emily Dawkins

The first hull in Bering Yachts’ B145 expedition range, 44.2m M/Y HEEUS, has been launched. Hitting the water at the shipyard's Antalya facilities, HEEUS has now become the largest explorer yacht to be launched by Bering.

Featuring a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the B145 semi-custom model is the ultimate explorer vessel, and the first hull from the range is certainly evidence of this. 

Offering an excellent ability for long distance cruising, M/Y HEEUS is built to explore the world. Boasting an ice belt to traverse the coldest of waters, an impressive fuel capacity of 95,600l, as well as a range in excess of 5000nm, her guests can safely and comfortably reach any destination. HEEUS' cutting-edge hybrid propulsion system also provide her guests with a more sustainable yachting experience.  

Designed and built by Bering Yachts’ in-house team of engineers and naval architects, M/Y HEEUS features six cabins across three luxurious decks: comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests. 

On the main deck, a lavish master suite offers expansive windows to admire the surrounding scenery; situated not far from a sociable large saloon, dining area and lounge. On the lower deck, HEEUS features a generous beach club, as well as a 25sqm garage for tenders and toys. An additional flybridge deck boasts a jacuzzi and bar for entertaining in the open air. 

Alexei Mikhailov, founder of Bering Yachts, commented on the launch: ‘We are very proud to have this first hull in the model range to be launched on the water. This will be the beginning of a new chapter for the Bering Yachts company.’

The news of HEEUS' launch comes at the same time as the announcement of the successful sale of the sixth hull from the yard's 26.2m B80 range, as well as the sale of the first hull in the newly developed 38m B125 series. 

M/Y HEEUS has a volume of 499 GT, maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.
