Building an Explorer yacht: A guide

Building an Explorer yacht is a demanding process that requires careful planning and coordination. This article will walk you through the basic steps of this complex endeavor and explain how to get from idea to finished yacht.

Selection of the model and customization

First of all, the buyer selects the appropriate model from the Bering Yachts model range, based on their specific needs. Then, together with the manufacturer, both standard and individual options are determined. This includes the selection of the interior, which is tailored to the personal preferences of the buyer. For larger yachts over 24 meters in length, it is even possible to customize the layout, including moving bulkheads.

Design phase

The actual construction begins with the laying of the keel, which is seen as the symbolic starting signal for the construction of the yacht. The hull construction is often done according to a 3D model created by the shipyard's naval architects. The hulls are made of strong, seaworthy steel and are often welded together upside down for optimal accessibility during construction.

Equipment and precision work

After the hull has been completed and turned, the assembly of the superstructures, which will be made of aluminum, will begin. This is followed by sandblasting and painting work to protect the hull from corrosion and give it its aesthetic appearance. At the same time, electrical wiring and piping are being laid. Particular attention is paid to insulation to ensure protection against noise, vibration and weather.

Final assembly and delivery

In the final stages of yacht construction, the interior furnishings such as furniture and flooring are installed. The final steps include extensive testing of all systems and equipment to ensure that everything is working properly. After the sea trials, during which the performance of the yacht is tested in real conditions, the handover to the customer finally takes place.

Building an Explorer yacht is a masterpiece of engineering and requires a high level of expertise and experience. Every step must be carried out precisely to ensure that the yacht is not only luxurious and comfortable, but also seaworthy and safe. By working closely with yacht builders, buyers can ensure that their new yacht is exactly what they want and ready for adventures on the world's oceans.
