Bering Yachts has launched the first BC60, bringing the builder’s aluminium explorer philosophy into a 62-foot twin-hull platform. The new expedition catamaran is intended to combine shallow-water access with long-range autonomy and the robust construction associated with Bering’s monohull explorers.
The BC60 has an aluminium hull, a draft of about 1.3 metres and fuel capacity above 13,500 litres. Bering quotes a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles and offers flexible layouts with four to six cabins.
Why this matters in the luxury-yacht market
Those figures place the BC60 in a relatively unusual part of the production market. Most catamarans of similar length prioritise accommodation and coastal cruising, whereas Bering is explicitly targeting expedition use and extended autonomy.
A fully enclosed flybridge can serve as a second saloon, office, gym or library, and the yacht is designed to work either as an owner-operated vessel or with a small professional crew. That flexibility broadens the possible ownership model.
What comes next
The first hull was due to enter sea trials after launch. Those trials are particularly important for an explorer catamaran because range, motion, noise and real-world efficiency will determine whether the concept delivers on its long-distance brief.
