Bering B130 — A Distinctive 40m Explorer Yacht (399 GT) with a Private Owner’s Deck and Exceptional Long-Range Capability
The Bering B130 by Bering Yachts sets a new benchmark in the 40-meter explorer yacht segment, offering a collection of standout features rarely found in yachts of comparable size. With an overall length of 40 meters and a gross tonnage of 399 GT, the B130 combines true expedition capability with the comfort, volume, and refinement expected of a modern luxury superyacht.
Designed for extended cruising and global exploration, the B130 delivers a transoceanic range of over 4,500 nautical miles, making her an exceptional platform for long-range adventures with minimal reliance on shore-based infrastructure.
Multiple layout configurations are available, each built around two signature design elements that define the yacht’s character. The first is a fully private owner’s apartment occupying the entire beam of the upper deck superstructure, complete with an exclusive private terrace — a feature typically reserved for significantly larger yachts. The second is a remarkable forward upper-deck dining area with 180-degree panoramic views, creating a spectacular setting for both formal dining and relaxed entertaining.
Guest accommodation can be configured with four or five guest cabins in addition to the owner’s suite. In the four-cabin arrangement, the B130 features an exceptionally spacious VIP suite located forward on the main deck, delivering a guest experience comparable to that of an owner’s cabin on many yachts in this class.
The yacht’s exterior lifestyle offering is centered around an expansive beach club aft on the main deck, designed as a seamless connection to the water. An optional swimming pool further enhances this area, elevating the onboard resort experience. Located beneath the beach club is a dedicated tender garage with capacity for a tender and two jet skis, with launch and recovery managed via an innovative overhead deck-opening system.
Inside, the main salon benefits from an asymmetrical layout that maximizes interior volume and creates increased flexibility for bespoke interior arrangements. This intelligent architecture allows for a greater sense of openness and improved circulation throughout the main deck.
Crew and service spaces offer volumes more commonly associated with 50–55 meter yachts. These include generous cold and dry storage, a large laundry facility, a spacious crew mess and lounge, as well as accommodation for eight crew members. The captain’s cabin is positioned separately on the sundeck, ensuring optimal privacy and operational efficiency.
Powered by twin MAN engines, the Bering B130 achieves a top speed of 16 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots, delivering the reliability, efficiency, and performance expected from a world-class explorer yacht.
