Bering Yachts Expedition Series BC60 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Bering Yachts BC60 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunreef Yachts 60 Sunreef Power Eco and Silent Yachts 62 Fly offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the BC60 features a master cabin and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Horizon PC60 and Silent Yachts 62 Open also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Bering Yachts BC60 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 14 knots. The Bering Yachts BC60 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Sunreef Yachts 68 Power which has an impressive cruising speed of 10 knots powered by its engines and can reach a top speed of 23 knots. This is closely followed by the Prestige M8 with a notable cruising speed of 15 knots and top speed of 20 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sunreef Yachts 60 Sunreef impresses with its extensive range of 2,750 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Sunreef Yachts 68 Power allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Prestige M8 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 15 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunreef Yachts 68 Power offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 23 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Bering Yachts Expedition Series BC60 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
