Bering 88 Expedition Motor Yacht

The Bering 88 is an 88-foot long-range explorer motor yacht crafted for owners who demand genuine passagemaking ability, substantial range, and the confidence to roam far from the usual harbors. Conceived with an explorer ethos, this ocean-going expedition yacht unites rugged naval engineering with the refinement expected of a modern luxury yacht—an inspired choice for anyone pursuing a long-range expedition yacht for sale.

If you’re comparing options in the expedition yacht and explorer yacht categories, the Bering 88 is purpose-built for serious time offshore. Its full-displacement philosophy prioritizes strength, stability, and real-world utility—ideal for island routes, regional crossings, and ambitious bluewater itineraries. With robust build quality and practical onboard layouts, the Bering 88 supports long passages while remaining comfortable for everyday life aboard.

Expedition Styling, Residential Comfort

More than a tough-looking adventurer, this is an expedition yacht designed to feel like home. You’ll find thoughtful interior volume, generous storage, and a liveaboard-ready plan. Social areas encourage entertaining and relaxation, while private spaces offer quiet retreat between passages. Owners seeking a luxury expedition yacht that refuses to trade capability for comfort will admire how the Bering 88 balances function with superyacht-level finish.

Systems-Led, Owner-Centric

A hallmark of the Bering range is a “systems first” approach: reliable machinery spaces, logical access for maintenance, and equipment choices that favor real cruising. For buyers considering an expedition trawler yacht or a steel expedition yacht with serious offshore intent, the Bering 88 delivers a platform designed for endurance, redundancy, and self-sufficiency—signature traits of a true bluewater passagemaker and displacement yacht.

Why the Bering 88 Tops Shortlists

Interest in “expedition yacht for sale,” “explorer yacht,” and “long range yacht” continues to rise as more owners value autonomy, safety, and comfort over outright speed. The Bering 88 aligns perfectly with that trend: an 88-foot long-range motor yacht sized for genuine liveaboard cruising, yet manageable with a professional captain and crew or a confident owner-operator.

Bering 88 expedition yacht

The Bering 88 is a steel expedition yacht crafted for owners who prioritize offshore confidence, long-range cruising practicality, and true customization. Conceived with an explorer mindset, this platform is engineered to support extended time underway and comfortable living at anchor, with a strong focus on systems, redundancy-minded upgrades, and real-world functionality. If you are seeking a steel expedition yacht, explorer yacht, or long-range passagemaker with modern energy options and serious cruising equipment, the Bering 88 stands out as a highly capable, owner-driven build that rewards ambition with range, reliability, and composure.

Advanced energy options and hybrid capability

Multiple energy-forward configurations are available to reduce generator hours and elevate onboard efficiency. E-motion serial hybrid drive packages offer tiers of battery storage, giving owners the flexibility to tailor capacity to cruising style and power demand. For renewable support, the Bering 88 can be specified with a solar array comprising five 360 W Victron BlueSolar monocrystalline panels with MPPT control. For additional electrical optimization, a peak shaving solution is offered using Victron batteries and an inverter system rated at 61.4 kWh, designed to smooth load peaks and enhance overall energy management across the vessel.

Propulsion controls, shafts, and cold-weather support

For precise maneuvering and assured command, the Bering 88 can be equipped with Glendinning EEC4 electronic engine throttle control in the pilothouse per station, delivering intuitive response where it matters most. SeaTorque shafts are listed as an upgrade option to reinforce a robust, low-vibration drivetrain. For high-latitude runs and shoulder seasons, a Webasto diesel heater can be specified to heat circulation water in low ambient sea temperatures, elevating comfort and extending usability in colder cruising grounds.

Fuel management for expedition cruising

Long-range itineraries demand clean, dependable fuel, and the Bering 88 addresses this with a Reverso fuel polishing system for the day tank—an invaluable addition for remote routes and extended passages where fuel quality can vary and reliability is non-negotiable.

Water, waste, and environmental systems

To support extended time aboard, the Bering 88 offers high-capacity watermaking solutions, including HP watermaker options with RP TRONIC control, complemented by an HP silver ion sterilizer system for the fresh-water circuit. For grey and black water, a Headhunter wastewater treatment system provides modern compliance and comfort while cruising. On the seawater side, the yacht can be specified with a Cathwell Sea Chest anti-fouling system and Cathwell hull cathodic protection, both aimed at reducing maintenance and safeguarding long-term durability.

Mooring and anchoring package

Serious cruising begins at the bow, and the Bering 88’s mooring and anchoring upgrades reflect that ethos: extension of two anchor chains up to 160 meters, upgraded 160 kg stainless steel anchors, and an automatic fresh-water flushing system for the chain locker. Control and awareness are elevated with a MUIR wireless remote featuring a chain counter and antenna, complemented by a fixed pilothouse remote with chain counter, enabling confident anchoring across varied conditions and smooth, short-handed operations.

Fire safety and seawater fire line

Safety-minded outfitting forms a core pillar of the Bering 88. Automatic-deployment fire suppression canisters in the lazarette add passive protection, while a Gianneschi fire pump and seawater fire line system furnish a robust active response capability tailored for offshore cruising.

Stabilization and handling comfort

For superior motion control underway, the Bering 88 can be upgraded to a Sleipner (Side Power) four-fin stabilizer system that refines roll reduction and heightens guest comfort as sea states change. For added operational ease during close-quarters work, a wired handheld remote control by Glendinning is also available.

Interior comfort and liveaboard functionality

Inside, the Bering 88 is configured for true liveaboard comfort with purposeful upgrades and quality appliances. Electric blinds pair with pilothouse forward window electric heating wires for effective defrosting, while the salon can host a 55-inch Samsung TV for immersive entertainment. Practical luxuries include Isotherm drawer refrigeration, a wine cooler, and an automatic sliding door configuration. The master area may be specified with an under-table drawer refrigerator and a washer/dryer combo within the walk-in closet, with Bosch or Miele noted. The galley can be elevated with a built-in Miele oven, a Bosch or Miele built-in coffee machine, and optional separation between galley and salon via an electrical partition and an upgraded electrical door. Guest cabins can be outfitted with 43-inch Samsung TVs, and crew areas can likewise benefit from dedicated entertainment upgrades.

Laundry, storage, and long-stay provisioning

For extended cruising, thoughtful provisioning capacity is essential, and the Bering 88 answers with options such as a second washer and dryer, additional freezers, an extra tall refrigerator with deep freezer, and even a dedicated fridge room—features that support longer itineraries, larger guest parties, and genuine independence from marina schedules.

Deck equipment, outfitting, and adventure additions

Outdoor living and expedition readiness converge across the Bering 88’s deck options. The flybridge can be specified with a built-in wet bar, additional air conditioning capacity, sun awnings, removable soft enclosures with transparent PVC windows, and practical appliances such as an electric grill and Isotherm refrigeration. For utility and tender handling, a Steelhead CT 3000 yacht crane supports active cruising and watersports, while the cockpit and boarding experience can be elevated with an Opacmare passerelle and additional enclosure options. The swim platform can be outfitted with a fishing package that includes outriggers, a live bait well, a tackle station, a cleaning station, and other angling-focused equipment. For visual drama and night-time enjoyment, Lumitec SeaBlaze LED underwater lights are available.

Navigation, connectivity, and entertainment

Modern expedition cruising demands reliable connectivity, and the Bering 88 delivers with an advanced Starlink setup featuring dual flat high-performance antennas, a 5G modem, exterior antenna and cabling, plus an additional terrestrial internet option. For navigation and onboard electronics, an upgrade to an “ultra package” is available, while audio can be elevated with premium stereo systems from K-Array or Bose, depending on the requested configuration.
