I always love to hear Alexey talk about the construction methods they use. You guys definitely made the right decision in choosing to purchase a Bering.
After watching pt 1 and 2, I can't imagine building a boat any other way. The passion and pride that Alexie has for his vessels is the biggest selling point for his products. You guys are so fortunate to have found his boatyard to build your dream. I think my decision has been made.
I concur. Modern tech, materials and coatings clearly make steel the smart choice. The ability to continuously adjust and evolve with each model rather than being committed to molds is a very big deal. I was particularly impressed with the tour of the ten years old model. The thing looked brand new without a speck of rust! 😲 I can see myself ordering a Bering yacht in a few years. The 75 or 78 models are the ones for me
@@KieranCox Well said, totally concur as well. 👍 😉 Though I'm leaning towards the 80 as Owner Operator, my wife and I did fall in love with the 75 "Veronika", just have to add cockpit designed for fishing on the aft.
If you haven't watched Victoria, Rico, & Alexei tour a Bering 145 that was under construction a year ago on Victoria/Rico's NautiStyles channel then definitely check out both parts 1 & 2. The 2 videos cover pretty much everything it takes to build a Bering & Alexei talks a lot more about how the yachts are constructed. The links - Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/P8UZ84dXmKM/v-deo.html Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/FMovrxgrc5k/v-deo.html Part 1 is 42 minutes & part 2 is 35+ minutes.
Hey guys, this is Mike and Sherrill from Phoenix Arizona. Just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying your new boat build videos. They are great, please pass along to Alexis that we really appreciate is expertise and the time he is taking to explain everything to those of us who don’t understand most of it. This is rare and greatly appreciate it. Have a great day, and be well always. Have a great day.
I'm a retired mechanical engineer and software engineer. I have really enjoyed listening to Alexi explaining their processes. As an engineer, I always enjoy watching someone, or company, building something properly. This company doesn't seem to be missing anything. Love to visit the shipyard myself. You have chosen wisely, best wishes!
The impression I get from Alexi is that every new boat to come out of the Bering shipyard is better than the last one. Evolution of design built right into their operational paradigm.
He seems like he's self made and hasn't forgotten where he came from and is very eager to pass on his wealth of knowledge. That's the impression I get from him personally. Having grown up around million dollar yachts because my dad is also a boat builder. It's not hard to see the level of pride and accomplishment with every new yacht that leaves the shop and finally sets sail. I see it from a different level because I had the privilege to see how custom yachts are built growing up and how each yacht and it's owners are very uniquely different from one another. I have a new found respect for Alexi because he shows his pride admiration for what he does.
Didn't really think about it, but the method for the hull kind of reminds me of how the wood boats were/are built. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing!
What I find incredible is the amt of engineering that goes into these boats and the grasp that Alexis has of it all! A truly hands on executive who has great pride in what he and his people are producing! I can imagine the confidence you must feel to have a boat built by this group!
I will say this. I watch 3 personal yacht channel. The Nordhavn, the Fleming, and yours. I will say this, you made the right choice, this owner knows what he is doing. He is very intelligent in ship building. When I started watching these I was always a Nordhavn fan. Since your channel, these are without a doubt the very best on the market. I personally like the better engine choice. The John Deer is OK, but for extended service with less down time, and through in all the other far better components, this is the very best, hands down. I am 65, and just wish I could afford one. You all have made the best choice of your life on the water.
This video wasn't near long enough!! I find it so fascinating and love the details Alexis goes into about yacht building. Can't wait for the next video.
I'm excited seeing this like I'm the one getting the boat 😂seriously though thank you guys for showing us this stuff, because we might never see it in such detail if it wasn't for your content.
I can’t thank you guys and Alexi enough for this education. The first two Episodes have been great. I never would have thought they put concrete in the bow of the ships.
Great video.... one of the amazing things I saw was this. No matter where the owner walked you guys. Every single person, new him. They gave a nod of the head. Most owners dont know who works for them. They all gave a quiet respect. Also, to have a ower know all the parts, where everything gos.. great job.
About one year ago you made a video about Bering Yachts. Back then it already struck me how passionate and knowledgeable Alexei talks about ship building. Listening to him is a better advertisement than anything the Bering yachts commercial team could come up with. And thanks for an excellent view behind the scenes. Reminds me of the (much smaller) boatyard where the steel sailing dinghies for our sea scout group were built.
This is an absolutely fascinating look into the yacht build process. Very informative and enjoyable. And your wonderful rapport with Alexei really adds a lot to the enjoyment of the episodes. Nice work, NautiGuys!
I am really excited for you both. I'm saying this as a 34 year veteran of steelwork and ship repair and building . Something really alarming in this video I saw on both 80's being fit up. The welds are not just terrible. they are horrendous!! Go to 6:00 in the video. That is not how you weld and fit up steel, its truly terrible work that will lead to bigger issues down the line. I don't understand how they let someone who doesn't know how to weld put in those garbage tacks. They're literally are leaving slag inclusions, cold lap and tack welds plus unmelted welding wire everywhere!!?? I am 100% aware you can go back and clean it up some before the final welding. However, you are then still welding over slag and slag inclusions, not to mention cold lap and unburnt wire. The end result is a weld that will not pass UT or x-ray. That would not pass inspection for ABS, US Coast Guard, Lloyds of London or DNV. You are spending so much money on these vessels. I am truly shocked by what I see. This is not what I would expect from Bering Yachts, or any Super Yacht builder. I am 100% confident if you checked with other builders they are not taking these kinds of shortcuts.. Having repaired and inspected welds on 100's of vessels, I have not seen new construction done like this from any shipyard until today. Do not accept this level of work on your vessel. You are great people, you deserve the best!!!
@@sl66ggehrubt You don’t tack like that. PERIOD.! Especially on a classed vessel. Those tacks would be an automatic failure and possibly require replacement plate of steel to be inserted. This one is NOT classed that’s how they are getting away with it. Not one shipyard I have worked in will allow that kind of amateurism. Those tacks literally contaminate and weaken the base metal. Just because you grind them flush it doesn’t remove the slag and possible porosity below the face of the metal. Or, alleviate a potential stress fracture created that takes time to show itself in the form of a weld failure or even a plate fracture. This is 100% NOT HOW SHIPS / YACHTS ARE TO BE FITTED UP PRIOR TO WELDING! Check with ABS, USCG, DNV-GL, Lloyds and see if any inspector would pass that ?
@@michaelbertko7055 Using Dawgs and Ceramic tape is what professional ship fitters use on an open root weld. There's only a weld on both sides of the dawgs to hold it in place. No amature tack welds.
I love how much time the owner of the company spends with you. He has an awesome personality and is obviously very intelligent. What is the ETA for a new order? 5 years!?
The scientific methods for addressing noise/sound control is fascinating. Outstanding podcast. I have to save this one too!!! Thank you Alexei and NautiGuys!!! 🤜🤛👍
I took a Machining Course, and I loved working with CNCs Lathes, Drills, ect..but never got a job doing it. So watching these big panels of cut steel awes me. 😁 And I'm also a bit of a "gear head" and looking forward to those big ol' diesels to get set.😊 Watching the build of these vessels is just so amazing. I worked with fiberglass also, (built car doors in a factory) and yes, fiberglass gets soggy. And if too dry just crumbles. This is so fascinating to me..😍 Thank you so much you guys, and Alexi, too for bringing us so much information. 👍 💙So Exciting💙 🌊⚓🥂
Just love watching you two interact with the owner. He is such an expert, and reliable! So thankful you are going with Behring. I suppose using 9mm steel would not make much difference. Except more cost! Wonderful reinforcement!
Gotta add this as well to my comments which I have said before, but it’s always so clear to see. The chemistry in the relationship you have formed with Alexei is priceless. It’s genuinely hard to tell who’s enjoying the experience more, Alexei or you two, lol. Really, really, cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I have learned soooo much about yachts (all types), (all types of construction), (all costs, pro and cons). I feel like I'm ready to graduate with a degree. I think you two have made some excellent decisions on the design and construction and MAKE of your yacht. I'll never own or charter....that's is certain but your "NautiGuys" shares knowledge, visual experiences, and the happiness that yachting brings to you! Many thanks to Victoria and Rico and continued success!
After a few years of watching Rico and Victoria review other people's boats, I get really excited when they post a vid here. Especially since a Bering 65 to 80 ft was already my dream boat.
Your videos are the best marketing tool Bering will ever had. I can’t afford a boat, but if I could, it would be a Bering. It has become the benchmark by which I measure all other boats.
Only comment is can someone jump again saying,"Can you believe we are building a boat like this." Sorry, if not word for word, but it nice to see someone excited over their dream coming true.
Can't get enough of these!! 😄 There are of course other yards (preferably German or Dutch) that build top notch quality steel yachts.... problem with them is, they're not sharing 😂 This is one reason why I love Alexei and Bering 🥰
@@gmmonomotapa2889 I do like CdM and I think that Nu Marine does a great layout on their 37 XPs, but if I had to pull the trigger, it would be Bering, all the way.
I just have to say this and I hope he actually sees this comment. Alexei is literally one of my favorite people to see and listen to on UA-cam. Seriously. He is just such a genuine character that has this obvious level of humble pride in the work effort and material quality put into creating his products. You can literally see the levels of intensity change in his facial expressions as he describes the various elements of the vessel construction and the intentional nature of the methods and materials used in that construction. Going along with him as he describes all of this is just an excellent experience. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Victoria, thanks for the great Q&A with Alexi. I will take the 145 for a live-aboard any day! Rico, thanks for the great cinematography. You guys are terrific! 👏🙏🏼
Great episode! Thanks for taking the time to detail all this out! Stay safe and keep rolling! Can't wait to see more of the boat they are working on for you guys! 👍👍
It is so interesting to watch this process. I very much enjoy learning how things are made and I could watch the three of you all day❤! I literally can not wait to see more! Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you❤
Alexi knows it all - front to back, up and down. It still is amazing that a steel boat floats. If you showed me a section of 10 mm steel and said this is my boat hull, I’d say no way! Great operation Bering has there, all the best to Alexi and the whole staff.
It is good that you are learning so much about the building of your new yacht. You will have a much better understanding of how it is built and how it works. In my 50 years in the Merchant Marine, I never missed a chance to be on my ship for drydocking.
Another great episode! This is a great journey. It shows every aspect of how yachting isn't just for the rich. This industry provides for a lot of people all around the world. The jobs it creates alone is unbelievable. One boat alone creates income for hundreds of people for years. I'm so glad you are showing this to people. Especially a company like Beiring ran by a man who is very knowledgeable of his company.
Alexie is amazing with him sharing his knowledge it’s the best , I’m so enjoying this process and again a huge thank you for sharing it with us your followers. Can’t wait to see what is next 😎🇦🇺😎
Very informative. This is the first hand look at construction and design we've all been waiting for! So happy you have Alexei as your tour guide. You guy's always do a great job editing btw. Still sad the 77 is no more but it's part of the evolution of a great yacht building company I suppose. 👍👍
Regarding the longevity of a steel hull, there's a small freighter in Sweden, Olof Trätälja (it has had many names throughout the years) that was built in 1879 and is still in use. As long as you keep the paint good, it won't rust.
As a process and design for manufacturabillity engineer, I really appreciate the forethought that goes into the building of these boats. And yes the porosity of fiberglass will suck up water. Thanks for doing this video. For me this was the most interesting tech video you've done. I also have a construction and design background and I find your tours of boats fascinating.
I introduced your videos to a buddy of mine who has gotten really into you guys' journey. He's like let's book they're first charter! I don't know where any of us will be when your beautiful Bering is done, but it would be fun to meet you two and Bering is for sure my favorite boat builder ever. I love the explorer boats and the steel has a great deal to do with it. I was on a 70-foot fiberglass fishing boat a lot of years ago that sunk coming back from Mexico to Ventura up the coast in the late hours of a Sunday. The chop is always tough coming back up in the afternoon anyway, but something happened and cracked the hull in the bow area. We took on water very fast and there was nothing but darkness as far as you could see. The boat was a total loss. I have been a big fan of steel hull boats ever since! You two made a great choice for the best quality, safest yacht on the water, I am so happy for you both. What a great life you are having and will have in the future.
Vicky is like a giddy kitty rolling around in Christmas wrapping paper. Rico like Santa patting kitty on head to settle down. I just can about imagine your 1st day receiving your new toy. Victoria will about wet herself while Rico will be just be checking out the tech toys. You had better get some meds to calm down Victoria’s excitement well B4 hand.😮 Great vlog guys on steel-hulled construction. 👍👌🇨🇦
Who couldn't love Alexis, great video, can not wait until your boat is finished. He would be my third stop after winning the lottery. 1st would be to pick out a Cessna Grand Caravan, 2nd Newell Motorhomes, and of course a Behring 80....seeing that it would take a while to build....
I knew this vlog was going to be good and sure is trending for success!!! Alexei is a true down to earth human with clear and straight thoughts!!! So awesome to get to know him!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Now I'm addicted to your channel. The coast guard life boats I served on used corten or A606 steel for the hulls, a special alloy that had "springiness" and excellent corrosion resistance.
Thanks for another informative and entertaining video. Do you think you could do one covering the safety features of Bering yachts? I know you've discussed a number of them in passing (wide walkways, high rails, fire suppression systems, watertight doors, etc.) but one video dedicated to those things that make Berings safer might also be interesting. Hope January is finally letting you cool off a bit after all of those hot boat shows!
I like how there's a 117, and they built a 92 and neither of those are on the website as available models, at least anymore. And now the 125 and the 180 are gone. Well just know that when I win the 1.35 billion lottery, I'm getting Bering to build a 155' that can carry a submarine, extra fuel bladders, Snow Cats, and a landing craft....ok maybe a 165.
I always look forward to watching your NautiStyles videos on Saturdays now I look forward to Thursdays as well. So glad I can now get two doses a week of Victoria and Rico. 😀
Great tour on this part of this build process. Steel looks like a great material for building and opens up the ability to world cruise especially in colder climates and rougher seas. Many thanks for this tour especially to Alexey who appears to be an executive who knows how his boats are built. Must be exciting to know you future boat be built using the same processes, techniques, materials, and quality! 👍
I can't imagine what a large section looks like? The quality of the welding looks second to none. 8 tonnes of concrete in the bow the yacht is going to unstoppable. Victoria I hope you have been able to unblow your mind for your next video.
I just recently found your videos and it's nice to see the energy and creativity plus the information being brought forth. Alexi seems like a very knowledgeable and accommodating person. I would like to point out that my dad is a boat builder here in Canada have you ever heard of Kanter Yachts? It's now Kanter Marine my dad has been with them since the very first day they went into business. It's really cool seeing how Bering yachts are built very much respect for Alexi for taking you guys under his wing and the wealth of information he has to share. He kinda reminds me of my dad whom I have a lot of respect for as well because being able to see how boats are built has always been a very fascinating experience for me. Take care looking forward to watching more of your videos. 😊
Oh yeah, also the way Alexey described how they can shift bulkheads and hatches, and possible modification of the hatches as well, within the hull inner plan was cool. My wife's disability would necessitate an elevator of some kind from the main deck to the Fly/boat/helm deck, so she could enjoy the boats features, so 'adaptability' to needs within the design that exists is satsifying to hear.
If I ever get a boat. I want Alexei to build it for me. He is the Boat Whisperer. Keep the vids coming. I love the technical and following the design to build. Really cool. Thanks for sharing
Alexis et vous-même êtes très intéressant à écouté. De loin les meilleures vidéos sur le sujet. Tout est clair net et précis. Instructif et divertissant 💞.
As Canadian, rigger and steel fitter, I am astounded by the lack of personal protective equipment. Hearing protection, safety glasses, and hard hats just to name a few. I am sure the welders should be wearing respirators when wire feed welding.
I'm really loving these videos. It's great that you are sharing your journey with us. I can't wait to see the finish product. I really wish you both the very best.
When you see the bare bone upside down in the factory you really get a feel for what an incredible ship is being made. Alexy really knows his boats inside out. Can't wait to see your boat in the water. Please give us a clue as to how much your charter fees will be so I'll know if my dream might become a reality.
So excited to finally be able to share weekly videos with you all! See you every THUR 🎉✌🏻
It is obvious that Alexi is really the “Man of Steel” only disguised as a mild mannered boat builder…
@@malcolmberke4862 😝😂
Why didn’t we see your build in progress? Are you going to be showing any of the build ? Hope so! Thanks.
I always love to hear Alexey talk about the construction methods they use. You guys definitely made the right decision in choosing to purchase a Bering.

Your videos are the best marketing tool Bering will ever had. I can’t afford a boat, but if I could, it would be a Bering. It has become the benchmark by which I measure all other boats.
Not to forget satisfied customers
Only comment is can someone jump again saying,"Can you believe we are building a boat like this." Sorry, if not word for word, but it nice to see someone excited over their dream coming true.
🙈😝😂 Seriously can’t believe it at least once a week 😝
Can't get enough of these!! 😄 There are of course other yards (preferably German or Dutch) that build top notch quality steel yachts.... problem with them is, they're not sharing 😂 This is one reason why I love Alexei and Bering 🥰
I Agree 💯 When the Time arises Mr. Alexis would be my Choice to have a conversation With ..🤗😉👍🌌✨🎆
I have been seeing a few videos from Italian Cantiere Delle Marche (CdM) & British Nordhavn.
For me top 3 are: Nordhavn, CdM, & Bering.
@@gmmonomotapa2889 I do like CdM and I think that Nu Marine does a great layout on their 37 XPs, but if I had to pull the trigger, it would be Bering, all the way.
I just have to say this and I hope he actually sees this comment. Alexei is literally one of my favorite people to see and listen to on UA-cam. Seriously. He is just such a genuine character that has this obvious level of humble pride in the work effort and material quality put into creating his products. You can literally see the levels of intensity change in his facial expressions as he describes the various elements of the vessel construction and the intentional nature of the methods and materials used in that construction. Going along with him as he describes all of this is just an excellent experience. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Victoria, thanks for the great Q&A with Alexi. I will take the 145 for a live-aboard any day! Rico, thanks for the great cinematography. You guys are terrific! 👏🙏🏼
🙏🏻🙌🏻 thank you for watching and taking the time to like and comment 💙
Great episode! Thanks for taking the time to detail all this out! Stay safe and keep rolling! Can't wait to see more of the boat they are working on for you guys! 👍👍
It is so interesting to watch this process. I very much enjoy learning how things are made and I could watch the three of you all day❤! I literally can not wait to see more! Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you❤
I have always enjoyed you both, you give very practical and informative tours. Alexie is a perfect match, he sounds very knowledgeable.
Thanks Michael
Alexi knows it all - front to back, up and down. It still is amazing that a steel boat floats. If you showed me a section of 10 mm steel and said this is my boat hull, I’d say no way!
Great operation Bering has there, all the best to Alexi and the whole staff.
Thank you Jeff
Thanks from İstanbul ❤❤❤
It is good that you are learning so much about the building of your new yacht. You will have a much better understanding of how it is built and how it works. In my 50 years in the Merchant Marine, I never missed a chance to be on my ship for drydocking.
Another great episode! This is a great journey. It shows every aspect of how yachting isn't just for the rich. This industry provides for a lot of people all around the world. The jobs it creates alone is unbelievable. One boat alone creates income for hundreds of people for years. I'm so glad you are showing this to people. Especially a company like Beiring ran by a man who is very knowledgeable of his company.
💯🙌🏻💙🙏🏻
Alexi’s analogies are great “tuff like walnut “ LOL
Long technical geeky EXCELLENT talk. Love the technical by the piece explanation and visuals. MOAR please...
🙌🏻💙🙏🏻
Alexie is amazing with him sharing his knowledge it’s the best , I’m so enjoying this process and again a huge thank you for sharing it with us your followers.
Can’t wait to see what is next 😎🇦🇺😎
Very informative. This is the first hand look at construction and design we've all been waiting for! So happy you have Alexei as your tour guide. You guy's always do a great job editing btw. Still sad the 77 is no more but it's part of the evolution of a great yacht building company I suppose. 👍👍
Fascinating seeing how it’s put together. I’m very surprised by the lack of PPE on the workers. You should be wearing hearing protection!
they are all provided, some choose not to🤷♀️
Alexei is really informative when he’s not getting interrupted.
I said this before..you guys are getting the best yacht on the market.
Thanks Alan!
Regarding the longevity of a steel hull, there's a small freighter in Sweden, Olof Trätälja (it has had many names throughout the years) that was built in 1879 and is still in use. As long as you keep the paint good, it won't rust.
As a process and design for manufacturabillity engineer, I really appreciate the forethought that goes into the building of these boats. And yes the porosity of fiberglass will suck up water. Thanks for doing this video. For me this was the most interesting tech video you've done. I also have a construction and design background and I find your tours of boats fascinating.
Music to our ears 💙🙌🏻🙏🏻
I introduced your videos to a buddy of mine who has gotten really into you guys' journey. He's like let's book they're first charter! I don't know where any of us will be when your beautiful Bering is done, but it would be fun to meet you two and Bering is for sure my favorite boat builder ever. I love the explorer boats and the steel has a great deal to do with it. I was on a 70-foot fiberglass fishing boat a lot of years ago that sunk coming back from Mexico to Ventura up the coast in the late hours of a Sunday. The chop is always tough coming back up in the afternoon anyway, but something happened and cracked the hull in the bow area. We took on water very fast and there was nothing but darkness as far as you could see. The boat was a total loss. I have been a big fan of steel hull boats ever since! You two made a great choice for the best quality, safest yacht on the water, I am so happy for you both. What a great life you are having and will have in the future.
wow, what a crazy experience! 🙈🙈 So glad you are ok!
Vicky is like a giddy kitty rolling around in Christmas wrapping paper. Rico like Santa patting kitty on head to settle down. I just can about imagine your 1st day receiving your new toy. Victoria will about wet herself while Rico will be just be checking out the tech toys. You had better get some meds to calm down Victoria’s excitement well B4 hand.😮 Great vlog guys on steel-hulled construction. 👍👌🇨🇦
I would definitely by there product reason the company owner is so hands on which makes an absolute quality product and he's a nice bloke
Who couldn't love Alexis, great video, can not wait until your boat is finished. He would be my third stop after winning the lottery. 1st would be to pick out a Cessna Grand Caravan, 2nd Newell Motorhomes, and of course a Behring 80....seeing that it would take a while to build....
🙌🏼🥳😝🫶🏼
I knew this vlog was going to be good and sure is trending for success!!! Alexei is a true down to earth human with clear and straight thoughts!!! So awesome to get to know him!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Oooow, thank you for the feedback
Now I'm addicted to your channel. The coast guard life boats I served on used corten or A606 steel for the hulls, a special alloy that had "springiness"
and excellent corrosion resistance.
I'm excited for the 2 of you & can't wait to see the finished product. I'm so impressed by the building process.
💙🙏🏻🙌🏻
Got to love Alexie and Bering. So interesting to see the build process.
🙏🏻💙
thanks for going into depth on the build. Alexie is a great advocate for his boats.
Our pleasure!
Thanks for another informative and entertaining video. Do you think you could do one covering the safety features of Bering yachts? I know you've discussed a number of them in passing (wide walkways, high rails, fire suppression systems, watertight doors, etc.) but one video dedicated to those things that make Berings safer might also be interesting. Hope January is finally letting you cool off a bit after all of those hot boat shows!
Great suggestion!
could listen to you guys and Alexi talk all day long the information is just first class.
You guys are having too much fun, and I'm still jealous.
I like how there's a 117, and they built a 92 and neither of those are on the website as available models, at least anymore. And now the 125 and the 180 are gone. Well just know that when I win the 1.35 billion lottery, I'm getting Bering to build a 155' that can carry a submarine, extra fuel bladders, Snow Cats, and a landing craft....ok maybe a 165.
Dude...it's like you reached into my brain and picked out everything I was thinking....uncanny!
Your new boat is steeling my heart.
Fascinating touring the construction process.. what a great advertisement for Bering yachts! my full appreciation to Alexei
That man knows his boats, so knowledgeable , well presented video.⛵️
Rico, wish we'd see more of you, too. Love both ya'll channels! ❤️
Another fun and informative video. Thanks so much for showing us around.
Our pleasure!
I always look forward to watching your NautiStyles videos on Saturdays now I look forward to Thursdays as well. So glad I can now get two doses a week of Victoria and Rico. 😀
Oooow thank you Karen 🙏🏻💙
Great tour on this part of this build process. Steel looks like a great material for building and opens up the ability to world cruise especially in colder climates and rougher seas.
Many thanks for this tour especially to Alexey who appears to be an executive who knows how his boats are built. Must be exciting to know you future boat be built using the same processes, techniques, materials, and quality! 👍
A very informative and interesting peek at the birth of metal boats. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute - Thanks to V.R. and Alexie - Brilliant!!!
What an excellent,informative video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I can't imagine what a large section looks like? The quality of the welding looks second to none. 8 tonnes of concrete in the bow the yacht is going to unstoppable.
Victoria I hope you have been able to unblow your mind for your next video.
I just recently found your videos and it's nice to see the energy and creativity plus the information being brought forth. Alexi seems like a very knowledgeable and accommodating person. I would like to point out that my dad is a boat builder here in Canada have you ever heard of Kanter Yachts? It's now Kanter Marine my dad has been with them since the very first day they went into business. It's really cool seeing how Bering yachts are built very much respect for Alexi for taking you guys under his wing and the wealth of information he has to share. He kinda reminds me of my dad whom I have a lot of respect for as well because being able to see how boats are built has always been a very fascinating experience for me. Take care looking forward to watching more of your videos. 😊
Great information and fun to watch. Would love to be there and see it up close. I love watching people build things! Great job, you three!
Oh yeah, also the way Alexey described how they can shift bulkheads and hatches, and possible modification of the hatches as well, within the hull inner plan was cool. My wife's disability would necessitate an elevator of some kind from the main deck to the Fly/boat/helm deck, so she could enjoy the boats features, so 'adaptability' to needs within the design that exists is satsifying to hear.
If I ever get a boat. I want Alexei to build it for me. He is the Boat Whisperer. Keep the vids coming. I love the technical and following the design to build. Really cool. Thanks for sharing
Alexis et vous-même êtes très intéressant à écouté.
De loin les meilleures vidéos sur le sujet. Tout est clair net et précis.
Instructif et divertissant 💞.
Very interesting... He is so smart and gracious at bringing you to tour his facility.
As Canadian, rigger and steel fitter, I am astounded by the lack of personal protective equipment. Hearing protection, safety glasses, and hard hats just to name a few. I am sure the welders should be wearing respirators when wire feed welding.
Fascinating to see the boat come to life. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2023 and stay safe.🙂🙂
Same to you!
Spectacular! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍀
Thanks for watching!
What a fascinating video and I look forward to seeing the rest of this series. I could listen to Alexei all day long!
Sweet new episode! Watching now! 👀👀
Yep, every Thursday
@@NautiGuys 👍👍
I'm really loving these videos. It's great that you are sharing your journey with us. I can't wait to see the finish product. I really wish you both the very best.
Boy if ever i was going to have a Boat built this is the Man i would have build it. thank you both for this very informative video. stay safe.
Thank you for watching
When you see the bare bone upside down in the factory you really get a feel for what an incredible ship is being made. Alexy really knows his boats inside out. Can't wait to see your boat in the water. Please give us a clue as to how much your charter fees will be so I'll know if my dream might become a reality.
I can’t wait to see your build.
So much to learn had to watch 2 times. Thanks for this look into what it takes to build these beautiful yachts.
