Bering 110 Yacht Blends Wanderlust With “Warmth of Home at Sea”

“With the Bering 110, we aimed to merge the bold spirit of exploration with the elegance of a superyacht,” notes Fatih Sürekli, Red Yacht Design’s managing director. “She’s built to go anywhere while offering the warmth of a true home at sea.” A yacht owner will get to experience this first-hand, as the buyer of hull number one.

Turkey-based Bering Yachts created the Bering 110 yacht series to complement its existing lineup of long-range, rugged-looking motoryachts. Like her smaller and larger sisters, she features a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. The shipyard did, though, want to introduce something a little different. In partnering with Red Yacht Design, it strove for softer, more superyacht-like styling compared to models like the Bering 105 yacht series.

Additionally, the build and design team rethought some interior and on-deck areas, to be more yacht-like. About three feet (1 meter) of extra usable space to starboard is available in the saloon, for example. It comes from eliminating the starboard side deck, an asymmetrical layout that a few shipyards have leveraged successfully. Generally speaking, the floorspace gain makes the room look and feel larger, as if the owner and guests were aboard a bigger boat. Crew can still move fore to aft to port, of course.

Red Yacht Design amplifies the welcoming feel through a calming interior decor that takes inspiration from Asian minimalism and meticulousness. While it is luxurious, it isn’t lavishness, the studio says. Plentiful curves in furniture shapes, along with warm wood paneling, raw marble, and soft neutrals with burgundy accents, set the mood. “The details are clean and deliberate, with subtle nods to the discipline of calligraphy,” according to Cana Gokhan, Red Yacht Design’s co-founder and design director. Those nods are especially notable in the dining area and main saloon. Gokhan says both rooms, plus an intimate seating nook between them, are “almost like brushstrokes in a single composition.”

Yet another unusual feature for an adventure-focused megayacht, a beach club. The 109-foot (33-meter) Bering 110 yacht series tucks a gym, sauna, and seating area in the beach club. A skylight further adds to the welcoming, relaxing look and feel, and the center of the swim platform lowers and creates a swim step. Watertoys and gear for exploration while at anchor stow nearby, too.

All the while, Bering Yachts and Red Yacht Design didn’t forget about practical amenities. For instance, while the uppermost deck has a bar and hot tub, the aft area one level below can accommodate tenders or folding lounge chairs. A davit sits to port in case clients do want to stow some type of watercraft here. For customers who intend to put the long range to good use, meanwhile, the lower deck has a walk-in refrigerator/freezer. The four-person crew plus the captain have healthy stowage in the same area, plus their quarters fully forward.

Since the Bering 110 yacht is all about visiting far-flung destinations, owners can check multiple regions off their bucket list. According to Bering Yachts, the 110 should exceed 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots under half load. A range upwards of 5,000 nautical miles should be possible as well at a slightly lower speed. That makes it possible to wake up in the main-deck master suite to a different anchorage in a different country. Regardless, the shipyard says the 12,416-gallon (47,000-liter) fuel capacity is enough to keep all 10 passengers and five crew supported for four weeks.

Bering Yachts hasn’t revealed the delivery date yet for hull number one.
