Bering Yachts Bering 77 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 Bering 77 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed and Fleming Yachts Fleming 85 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 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 Bering 77 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Outer Reef Yachts 800 MY and Fleming Yachts Fleming 78 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Bering Yachts Bering 77 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 8 knots and a top speed of 11 knots. The Bering Yachts Bering 77 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 Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed which has an impressive cruising speed of 16 knots powered by its twin 1,400hp MAN V12-1400 engines and can reach a top speed of 25 knots. This is closely followed by the Outer Reef Yachts 800 MY with a notable cruising speed of 18 knots and top speed of 22 knots.
