Voyages of discovery with the Bering B145 HEEUS: Compact superyachts conquer the most distant destinations

The world of yachts is changing. As a recent article in Robb Report makes clear, the so-called "explorer yachts" in particular are attracting more and more interest. One notable example is the Bering B145 HEEUS.

From Mega Yachts to Compact Superyachts

The new generation of superyacht buyers is no longer satisfied with crowded ports in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. They are looking for open space and adventure. You don't need a 250-foot yacht for that. These days, there are owner-operated Explorer Yachts available from as little as 85 feet.

Traditionally, expedition yachts were converted cargo ships, such as the 223-foot Ragnar or the 250-foot Yersin. However, the new generation, many under 150 feet, are designed for similar missions in smaller packages, thanks to practical hull designs and expanded fuel capacities.

Bering B145 HEEUS: A new standard in luxury expedition

Renowned shipbuilders like Holland's Damen and Italy's Sanlorenzo and Cantiere delle Marche have teamed up with specialized Turkish yards like Bering to offer adventure-ready vessels with luxurious interiors. The Bering B145 HEEUS stands out here, perfectly demonstrating how far this field has come. These yachts are more than just luxury vessels - they represent a new standard in luxury expedition.
