Alexei Mikhailov and Alexander Obidin launched Bering Yachts in 2007. Longtime friends, they’d partnered on projects as far back as 1990, when they converted a 136-foot commercial steel vessel into a luxury yacht in the eastern Russian port city of Magadan, on the Sea of Okhotsk. In 2001, Alexander started his own shipyard in the famed Volga River region of Russia; meanwhile, Alexei owned a commercial fishing company with a fleet of five trawlers.

After nearly 20 years of dreaming about owning and running their own boatbuilding company, in 2007 the two friends reunited and turned their dream into a reality.

They took their design cues from modern steel North Sea commercial ships, which are built to highly regarded Scandinavian naval architectural standards. Those vessels set the bar that Alexei and Alexander met in their mission of creating uniquely rugged and reliable long-range trawlers.

Today, the Bering Yachts line ranges in size from 50 to 95 feet and is offered in three lines: Expedition, Explorer, and Yachtship. Some models are capable of crossing any ocean with a shorthanded crew of two. Indeed, Bering Yachts prides itself on designing, engineering, and building yachts that can go anywhere and do anything without a large crew or complicated systems.
