It’s official — and it’s big news for all of us who love explorer yachts. The brand-new Bering 78 has just had her keel laid, and that means her journey from blueprint to ocean-going reality has truly begun.
The keel-laying ceremony is always one of the most exciting milestones in yacht building. It’s the moment when a project officially transforms from design and engineering to something tangible, the first steel in place, the foundation of a yacht that will soon take to the seas.
The B78 is especially exciting because she carries forward the beloved qualities of the B70 while adding even more space, range, and comfort. At just under 24 meters, she’s the perfect balance of manageable size and serious capability, offering long-range cruising in a yacht that’s ideal for families, private owners, or even light charter use.
From her reverse-raked bow for stability, to her shallow draft for exploring closer to shore, to her bright, customizable interiors and expansive outdoor spaces, the B78 has been designed with both adventure and relaxation in mind. And with launch set for 2024, it won’t be long before she’s out on the water proving why she’s such an important addition to the Bering fleet.
This is a milestone worth celebrating, and if you want to read more details about this exciting new build and what makes her stand out, you’ll find the full article here: 👉 A New Bering 78 – The Keel Is Laid

This one was such a fun project! We sat down with Nikki and Jason from the Gone With The Wynns YouTube channel for a special two-part video series.
On one side, we’re in the middle of building our Bering 75 explorer yacht. On the other, they’re deep into their own adventure, building an 44 sailing catamaran. Two totally different builds, in two totally different worlds, for very different uses — and that’s exactly what made the conversation so fascinating.
We talked about the realities of yacht building, the choices that come with different platforms, and how lifestyle, goals, and design all come together in very unique ways. It was eye-opening for us, and we think you’ll find the discussion just as interesting.
🎥 Check out this two-part collab and join us, Nikki, and Jason as we dive into what it really means to build the right boat for your dream adventures.
