Bering Yachts BC80 Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Bering Yachts BC80 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 Silent Yachts 80 Closed offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 BC80 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa. Equivalently, the Silent Yachts 80 Fly and Silent Yachts 80 Open also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Bering Yachts BC80 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 10 knots thanks to its twin 800hp Volvo Penta D13-800 engines and maximum speed of 15 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Silent Yachts 80 Closed with a respectable cruising speed of 12 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Silent Yachts 80 Closed, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The shallow draft of the VisionF 82 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Bering Yachts BC80 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.
