Bering Yachts Launched First Hull of Aluminium Explorer Catamaran BC60
Bering Yachts has successfully launched the first hull of the Bering BC60, an innovative aluminium expedition catamaran that marks a significant expansion of the brand’s explorer lineup.
Purpose-built as a true expedition vessel, the BC60 brings Bering’s DNA of seaworthiness, long-range capability, and exceptional comfort into a twin-hull format, offering a distinctive proposition rarely seen in today’s market.
Entirely constructed in aluminium, the BC60 combines outstanding structural strength with a remarkably shallow draft of just 1.3 metres. This allows access to shallow bays, coral waters, and remote anchorages typically unreachable for deeper-draft yachts, while her robust build ensures confidence during long ocean passages.
With a fuel capacity of over 13,500 litres and a range 3,000+ nautical miles, the BC60 delivers genuine transoceanic autonomy. Extensive storage for provisions further enhances her self-sufficiency, making her ideal for extended independent cruising far from marinas and support services.
Stability, Comfort and Quiet Operation
The catamaran’s displacement hull form, combined with carefully engineered construction, provides exceptional stability and a smooth, comfortable motion even in challenging sea conditions. Particular attention has been paid to minimising noise and vibration — critical factors for long-term liveaboard comfort. The result is a noticeably quiet and relaxing environment, whether at anchor or underway.
Versatile and Highly Customisable
The BC60 offers flexible accommodation layouts ranging from 4 to 6 cabins, generous storage throughout, and a high degree of customisation to suit individual owner requirements. The Bering BC60 is designed to operate comfortably as an owner-run yacht or with a minimal crew of two. She also features a standout fully enclosed flybridge that functions as a second salon with a bar and 360-degree panoramic views. This versatile space can be configured as a gym, office, or library according to the owner’s lifestyle.
Strong Market Interest
“I’m so excited to finally see her in the water, and I can’t wait for the first sea trial. It’ll be great to see how all those design decisions we made actually come together. We never compromise anywhere. I truly believe she’ll feel like a really complete boat straight out of the box. And quite a unique offering to the market.”
— Scott Blee, Sabdes Boat DesignsSince her introduction, the Bering BC60 has rapidly become one of the most requested models across Europe, the United States, and beyond. The successful launch of the first hull confirms growing client enthusiasm for this new generation of aluminium explorer catamarans.
Sea trials are scheduled to begin in the coming days, with full performance data and impressions to be shared shortly.
