I am glad that you will have a chef. From your charters, I have seen how time consuming planning and preparing meals is. You guys and Alexei are on the same page. Really liked this podcast Victoria and Rico. ❤
Once again, Alexi is a man I'd buy a boat from. His willingness to accommodate your special build is awesome! Look forward to seeing your new home, and thanks for the great vids .
Wow....what a lovely team you are. Would never say that's a business deal. Looks like your friends for years. Everyone is excited for your dream yacht and all of us to see the end result. Thanks all of your guys, and good luck.
Amazing layout. I have personally wondered why boats aren't using a very similar layout. The use of space is perfect. Thanks I love watching both of you and Alexei on this journey. Hard work pays off.
Poor Alexei! Seduced into negative windows. Renaming the dance deck because of the influence of his audiophile friend. Being quizzed across the Atlantic by his favorite customers. Life is tough. Thank God that Bering is a customer centric company.
I have to admire Alexi's positive attitude toward solving problems. He spends precious time making things work, not wasting time trying not to make things work. If we can only get a Bering that will get up to 16 knots, then all will be good in the universe.
Beautifully thought layout and personal ideas in what will become the Bearing 75 jewel of the seas. With your extensive familiarity of yachts, and boats in general, your vessel will be a head turner that yatchtsman will drool over.
When a builder has there priorities in the right order a boat naturally comes out right. It’s so refreshing to watch. There’s no endless nonsense being said about infinity views and door knobs being like pieces of artwork bla bla bla
Your enthusiasm Victoria is infectious & I fully understand why. You guys will be great as charter hosts for your guests. This will seem so overwhelming going forward as the build & decisions continue. Enjoy the ride as you drag us along with you both. 👌🇨🇦👍
Being in construction I always love looking at plans, I can visualize the whole boat from just seeing that, wow,you guys are so fortunate and I’m glad you can live a dream of a fabulous boat build. It looks like the decision to go with Bering was the right one.
I paused to study each floor plan,as presented.and am very impressed with the layouts you've worked out together.Such an amazing ship.Congratulations on the collaboration. "Valhalla" is a wonderful vessel. Heaven on the seas.
Poor Alexei! I think he is just realizing what he let himself into, lol! This build is going to be crazy! So many extra layers of spec and tech and Vic’s seven meter long NBBL list… but if anyone will be as cool as a cucumber to produce a brilliant boat it will be him! ❤❤❤
My 'guess' is Alexei has been around the block a few times and dealt with much more difficult customers. Since this is a first off with building a 75' charter, I reckon it's best to go over all ideas and decide what works best. It's not like Naughty Styles hasn't seen many yachts and maybe figured out what would work best for them and crew.
Bering is an amazing company, but Alexei is an absolute jewel. You definitely got the best of builder and friend in this arena. I'm excited for you both and very impressed with the sound choices of Bering.
I noticed that the crew quarters was very close to the 'Victoria Time Out Spot'. What some might call 'a chain locker'. Real Nauti fans know what that area is called. They also know there will be a dishwasher, rounded 'corners', a very cool ottoman, 4 wine racks, a mini fridge in their master, a Brig tender, and storage everywhere. Everywhere
I am overwhelmed by the decisions to be made and it isn't my boat!🤣 One good thing is that you can totally trust Alexis to guide you as to what will work and what won't! I like the fact that he seems intent on making your wants and needs possible rather than just rejecting them out of hand! In an endeavor such as this trust is of tremendous importance! You trust him and he trusts you will listen to him! Love it!!
This is so exciting listening to your ideas and concerns and solutions. And learning from Alexei's and seeing your plans and the people and place your Bering 75 is being built. Okay everyone.. get some rest, you too Alexei. Thanks so much, Mark.
I am glad that you guys put out content during the week with your NautiGuys channel as well as posting content on the weekend with your NautiStyles channel! 👍👍. It keeps my interest peaked!
Guys, I can't wait to see it. John from the channel Yacht Bouy said he saw your guys yacht on the build line when he was there doing a walkthrough of the plant. I believe he was featuring a Bering 72.
@@NautiGuys have y'all decided where you're going to be chartering? Will it be California coast and the northwest or down in the Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean?
Recommendation: only light - whity coloured wood panels inside and a lot of polished stainless steel everyway! Also ask for a lot of fishing equipmet installed (nets. rods, harpoons, scubas and etc.), secret safe for weapon and money, two or three rescue boats, backup radio stations, helipad on the nose is desirable. Last wish: turquoise (light green) will be very popular in the future instead of white!
I am super excited for you two! This is a dream coming into reality. From inception of this channel you've been talking about things for your future boat. Now, many of those things will be incorporated on this Bering 75". The build process will be so interesting and such a big deal for your viewers. I've been watching Ruby Rose in Vietnam and now I go to Turkey. Thank you, thank you. I'm so grateful to you Victoria and Rico. I'm wildly entertained and I'm learning so much! Love to you always.
WOW Can't wait to follow the build. I noticed the storage under the stairs on the lower deck. That space is massive. Congrats guys It's soooo exciting!
thats a mighty impressive shed there, its always amazing to see the ideas turn to drawings, be cnc cut into jigsaw pieces and then a bunch of talented guys stich the lot together with the electric glue as i call it
Awesome build. Thanks Alexi for showing the commitment you have in the process. It shows I want you to build my wife and I a 77 to truly explore. Thanks Rico for discussing the electrical. Keep putting your touch on it and enjoy!
It took me a while to watch because I paused the blueprints. The L couch in the salon, negative windows, and so many NBBL...😏 So excited! 💙 Looks like 🐳FUN⚓🐳
I can't wait to see her in the water. re watched again. Negative windows, proper stairs, great crew quarters, dj space, Victoria 5feet 6 or 8... And chef😊 It's going to be awesome 👌
Hmm. It's very interesting to see the plans they've got so far. I think, for me, I would go with a different layout. Understanding that you want to charter, the space available to your guests needs to seem both expansive and accessible with no jarring breaks in available areas for them to pitter-patter about. Your crew, especially your deckhand, would need to have quick access to important systems and rooms, such as the engine room. You want to have two master's and an owners suite... but you also want some separation for privacy's concern. You also want to have plenty of access outside for them to be able to hang out as well. I think you need two clear sections in your yacht... A green section, where everyone is welcome, and a blue section which is reserved for you and your crew. As a live-aboard, you want to be comfortable, but you also don't want to take away too much from the guests. As such, your access, like hallways and the like, don't need to be as wide as the guests' access, so you can save some space there. I think too much space is wasted on the middle deck. (I'll call them upper, middle and lower deck) It's a ginormous lounge area... Fun... but I think it'll actually make your boat feel smaller to your guests. Here's what I've come up with in my head... On the lower deck, bow, take that room and make it your owner's suite. Full beam. From there to the engine room bulkhead, separate the area into thirds, port to starboard. Take one of those thirds along the starboard or port sides and divide that space into thirds from bow to stern. Take the third closest to the bow and turn that into a studio/office. Use a wide door to connect to the owners suite so it can be opened and considered an extension of the owner's suite. The remaining two thirds of that section will become the crew quarters. There should be enough room for a couple bunks, couple hanging lockers and a decent head, along with the washer, dryer and whatever other necessities you put in there. Connect the Owner's Suite office to the crew quarters for easy access to the washer/dryer and add a door to the engine room on the stern end of the crew quarters. So that used up the bow and a third of the midship area of this deck. Use the remaining for a master's suite and either two smaller cabins or another master suite. Now we go up to the middle deck. The area towards the bow that you used for crew quarters and utility can now be used for 2 additional cabins. Use up a bit of the space your kitchen area used to make the cabins a little larger. That gives you 4 or 5 guest cabins, including one or two Master Suites. Now, from the stern bulkhead of these cabins, to about mid-ship, divide the area in half, port to starboard. One of these halves will be a full-sized kitchen with breakfast nook that is open to the other half. Within the non-kitchen half, put your barstools at the counter and a couple small, but comfy chairs and low table against the outer bulkhead. Stair access to both the guest areas and Owner's Suite/Crew quarters will also be housed here along with the door to the bow cabins. By doing this, you're reducing some of the open area that is empty space, giving your self a bigger kitchen and adding another couple hangout spaces for your guests. Depending on how you want to do it, you could have the breakfast nook at the centerline of the ship, and also have a bar/bar counter to the stern of the kitchen. Keep everything open (except support pillars)... If your eyes can see more area, the mind will think the area is bigger, even if the area is actually smaller or split up. From midship to stern, turn this into a living room, kind of like how it is already. Have an open staircase to the upper deck. You want to create openness without actually wasting space... Plus I'm sure Bering can make it look beautiful. Maybe install a wine fridge under it? Eh...? Ehhhhhh? lol. The upper deck where your Owner's Suite is currently will become a formal dining room. You'll be up higher so you'll have a better view which will make for nicer meals. Additionally, you'll be creating an indoor hangout area by the helm. Add in a mini-bar. You can also add a dumbwaiter directly from the kitchen to the upper deck for easy transport of food and other goodies. It'll also make for a really cool hangout area, since it'll have the best views. And when you don't have guests, you'll have it all to yourselves. :) With all of this, you've effectively created your green zone and blue zone and your guests will be none-the-wiser. You've got ample space for entertaining, plenty of space for lounging, both inside and outside. You'll also have a full-sized kitchen and easy access from the owner's suite to the engine room if need-be, in case things go bump in the night when they should go brrr. Add some full-sized windows to the owner's suite and you'll have one helluva view there too. The only drawback is the increased distance from the Owner's Suite to the helm, but with the way technology is these days, you could add some displays to the office that would show nearly everything the helm would anyways, along with some controls. Call it a 'remote-helm'. It's all about making the most use of the space available. If you've managed to read all of this, my hat's off to you, lol. These are just my ideas though, so you can feel free to completely ignore them if you're happy with your layout as-is. I look forward to seeing how everything turns out!!! Cheers!! :D
Great episode, now it’s starting to get real. Liking the general arrangement choices you’ve made so far. The idea of putting the crew quarters on the main deck is genius. I didn’t hear anything about Rico’s DJ setup on the dance deck. 😂. Can’t wait for the next episode and the one s after it.
negative windows are right choice.They will look great! I started to buid 80 feet custom ocean explorer and strugeled lot make my mind between positive and negative windows. 😇
Like Rico, I can't wait to see and learn about all of the Mechanicals. I was a Boiler Technician in the US Navy many years ago, so mechanical systems are my thing. The "Negative Windows" are also a plus! Great call
Thanks. It is very exciting. When I win the lotto I'll buy a pre-owned yacht and have modifications made gradually as needed. It will be less stressful for this old man.
I know I might be a little late to ask this, but the question just popped into my brain when Rico was telling us about the US spec... what brand and type of batteries are you looking at? Just in aww over your build.. 🇺🇸👍😊
Think about THE DAY when this boat is being delivered to you guys? WOW. That's going yo be Hugh. Happy for you guys to have that moment to look forward to. Love from 🇳🇴
OoooMmmmmmGgggggg !!!! I just can not wait for more of this and to see it complete and in the water!!!!❤ from everything you have shared she is going to be badass !! I’m so happy you are sharing this with us thank you 🙏 😊
I love both of your channels and I am Super excited that you are taking us all on your yacht building journey with you! Maybe one day I will get to experience that process myself, but for now, you guys are the next best thing and I think we all Love you for that! Keep the awesome videos coming and we will keep eating them up!!
one of my favourite boats on youtube is a jay benford 57 named teddi bear and it also has an amazing master on the lower deck but my choice would be the guest it has on the upper deck behind the pilot house due to views alone so I support your guys decision
Exciting update once again. As one Sub. had commented.. It is so nice watching you all going over the plans toghether more as friends rather than Vendor and Consumers!! Yet again.. the glisten in your eyes Victoria when vlogging about this build😍 Waiting for the next one Victoria and Rico!! Cheers, Bernie😎
I love watching you two with Alexi. He obviously loves you two. Ive seen him with other UA-camrs and hes not the same. You bring out the best in him. Anyways. Excited for you all. Take care.
I was 'off' for a few weeks, and came back to 4 new videos, including the FLOORPLAN one I've been looking forward to! Awesome! On to the next adventure... 😄
Best wishes on your new build. May it become all that you have dreamed and wished for, with many wondrous years for both of your future!!! God bless!!!
Beautiful boat,guys.Iits even more beautiful,with Vicky onboard.Ihope you have a long,annd happy relationship with your beautiful boat.With Alexie, Buildding her,I am sure you wwwill. Thank Thank for the video
Guys, this is awesome! I love following this build process, even though (I'm afraid to say) I'm a bit behind on the videos that you have posted. Something that I haven't seen addressed yet, in the design, is placement of the many TV screens that will be on board. For the cabins, I hope that you'll be putting some of the larger screens on the ceiling above the beds, instead of as popup screens from cabinets. I tried the above-the-bed idea in my house, and it makes so much more sense than wall mounts or popup screens if the intention is to make it primarily viewable from the bed. Think about it: No more pillows to prop up just to watch TV... Much more comfortable and frees up some valuable storage space.
Siri always so much fun to see Alexei! This video is a lot of fun and really interesting! I really enjoyed seeing the shipyard and the ships currently under construction. I find the full construction part very interesting. It’s exciting to see the space where your yacht is being built and to know that will be seeing footage of the actual construction! Love from Vermont
After seeing all of the Bering videos, if I ever get lucky enough to win the Lottery, I would build. Bering boat no doubt, 1st item on my bucket list. Wont ever happen, but I can dream 😃
Nautistyles design team and nbbl list can advance Bering years ahead of others. Alexi has to balance setting expectations that keep project on time and budget because that's essential too. I'd suggest being persistent whenever the ask is in Bering's benefit, like with the negative Windows..
It all sounds fantastic , I'm even very excited for you both , also envious ( because of age and medical problems I cant get back on the high seas any more , I love the ocean ) it's a beautiful , practicable sea going home , love it . Cant wait to see your maiden voyage . Thank you very much for sharing !!
It's a lot easier to weld down then it's the weld up and that's why they build the boats upside down and then flip them over when it's time to fit them out
Your plans on screen seem pretty good, and balanced fairly between the needs of the crew and guests (paying customers). I guess if you had a very modest sleeping area and allowed the guests to have the rear half of the top deck, then you may have been able to charge a little more, but looks like you value some privacy and comfort on the top deck, so the marginal extra income you are foregoing seems a reasonable price for a better lifestyle for yourselves. Good planning! 😃
I am glad that you will have a chef. From your charters, I have seen how time consuming planning and preparing meals is. You guys and Alexei are on the same page. Really liked this podcast Victoria and Rico. ❤
🙏🏻💙🥳🥳
Once again, Alexi is a man I'd buy a boat from. His willingness to accommodate your special build is awesome! Look forward to seeing your new home, and thanks for the great vids .
Thank you so much
Wow....what a lovely team you are. Would never say that's a business deal. Looks like your friends for years. Everyone is excited for your dream yacht and all of us to see the end result. Thanks all of your guys, and good luck.
Yes we are so honored to call Alexei a friend 🙏🏻🙌🏻 this has been a dream come true journey
Amazing layout. I have personally wondered why boats aren't using a very similar layout. The use of space is perfect. Thanks I love watching both of you and Alexei on this journey. Hard work pays off.
because they aren't owner-operated on charters.
Thank you soooo much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Poor Alexei! Seduced into negative windows. Renaming the dance deck because of the influence of his audiophile friend. Being quizzed across the Atlantic by his favorite customers. Life is tough. Thank God that Bering is a customer centric company.
I have to admire Alexi's positive attitude toward solving problems. He spends precious time making things work, not wasting time trying not to make things work. If we can only get a Bering that will get up to 16 knots, then all will be good in the universe.
isn't there a fundamental limit on the speed of a displacement hull?
Yes @Zac… hull speed
Yeah, you would have to go to 180ft 🙈🥳
Bering does make semi-displacement vessels that will do those speeds but not in steel.
Your ride from the airport really looks like the inside of a boat!
😝🤷♀️ welcome to Turkiye
The excitement level for this channel just jumped up to 100.
Woo, another episode of the best build tracker ever!
🥳🥳🥳
Beautifully thought layout and personal ideas in what will become the Bearing 75 jewel of the seas. With your extensive familiarity of yachts, and boats in general, your vessel will be a head turner that yatchtsman will drool over.
Alexi should offer the both of you a job on his design team ! Your impact make the difference ❤
😝🙌🏻💙
When a builder has there priorities in the right order a boat naturally comes out right. It’s so refreshing to watch. There’s no endless nonsense being said about infinity views and door knobs being like pieces of artwork bla bla bla
😝🤣🤣
You Nauti Guys are having too much fun. I'm jealous.
🙈😝 we are taking you with us, it’s only half the fun without you all
You guys are designing almost exactly how I would've done it!! The Master for the captain is the best!! So excited to see this Project completed🎉
Thanks so much!!
Your enthusiasm Victoria is infectious & I fully understand why. You guys will be great as charter hosts for your guests. This will seem so overwhelming going forward as the build & decisions continue. Enjoy the ride as you drag us along with you both. 👌🇨🇦👍
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙
Hope your build goes smoothy and you love the outcome of your new yacht.
Same hopes here 🙏🏻💙

"Valhalla" is a wonderful vessel. Heaven on the seas.
Valhalla????????? , You also should see who is constructing this"amazing ship"
You could not have picked a better builder, Alexei is a gem.
Poor Alexei! I think he is just realizing what he let himself into, lol! This build is going to be crazy! So many extra layers of spec and tech and Vic’s seven meter long NBBL list… but if anyone will be as cool as a cucumber to produce a brilliant boat it will be him! ❤❤❤
I’m reading his body language and to me he is not himself. He seems tired and maybe a bit worried.
My 'guess' is Alexei has been around the block a few times and dealt with much more difficult customers. Since this is a first off with building a 75' charter, I reckon it's best to go over all ideas and decide what works best. It's not like Naughty Styles hasn't seen many yachts and maybe figured out what would work best for them and crew.
If i ever have the chance to build my own yacht . I'd 100% go to BERING! This man is so dedicated and thoughtful !
Bering is an amazing company, but Alexei is an absolute jewel.
You definitely got the best of builder and friend in this arena.
I'm excited for you both and very impressed with the sound choices of Bering.
Couldn't agree more! 💙
I noticed that the crew quarters was very close to the 'Victoria Time Out Spot'. What some might call 'a chain locker'. Real Nauti fans know what that area is called. They also know there will be a dishwasher, rounded 'corners', a very cool ottoman, 4 wine racks, a mini fridge in their master, a Brig tender, and storage everywhere. Everywhere
Hahahaha! I have been fighting for that storage ever since
I am overwhelmed by the decisions to be made and it isn't my boat!🤣 One good thing is that you can totally trust Alexis to guide you as to what will work and what won't! I like the fact that he seems intent on making your wants and needs possible rather than just rejecting them out of hand! In an endeavor such as this trust is of tremendous importance!

💙🙏🏻
Congratulations for the start of this amazing journey.
And prayers for all the people of Turkey suffering an immeasurable loss ((((((((
This must be so exciting for you!
Alexei looked and sounded pretty tired at the beginning, so I hope he actually did get some rest on the flight.
This is so exciting listening to your ideas and concerns and solutions. And learning from Alexei's and seeing your plans and the people and place your Bering 75 is being built. Okay everyone.. get some rest, you too Alexei. Thanks so much, Mark.

Ooooohhhh! I’ve been looking forward to this since you announced your plans.
Sweeet!!!
Love the talking head of "reason" popping in and out of the frame! This is going to be a beauty as well as a SOUND boat. 🎸🎶
Haha! Sounds boat! 😂😂
You guys are doing a Great job !! This boat is going to be Awesome.
And Yes !! You're doing the right thing . Follow your Dreams !!!
Thank you so much
So enjoyed getting an update. Alexie is such a great guy to build with and is always fun to watch. Bring it on !!!
More to come!

I have to say that as we dream of a lotto win some day, we follow carefully and this i an EXCELLENT episode!
💙🙏🏻🙏🏻
Recommendation: only light - whity coloured wood panels inside and a lot of polished stainless steel everyway! Also ask for a lot of fishing equipmet installed (nets. rods, harpoons, scubas and etc.), secret safe for weapon and money, two or three rescue boats, backup radio stations, helipad on the nose is desirable.

Oh yeah, that is our laundry room 🥳🥳
Really excited you did a Bering. That’s what I will want. It’s a Tank Boat.
Yea! Can't wait until your new boat is finished and out on the water sailing! Hoping you have an AMAZING 2023. Looking forward to a lot of new videos.
Us too!
Metric is the standard!

Great decisions, the lady sitting across the table has like the best posture ever!
6 cabins????? Holy guacamole!
Yep, 🥑
Negative windows and 4 crew, that’s the way to go! Can’t wait to see the boat come together!

I can't wait to see the final build just so I can see what made the NBBL and what didn't. I'm like on the edge of my seat...
Hahaha! NBBL video next week
It took me a while to watch because I paused the blueprints.
The L couch in the salon, negative windows, and so many NBBL...😏
So excited! 💙
Looks like 🐳FUN⚓🐳
🥳🥳🙌🏻🙌🏻
I can't wait to see her in the water. re watched again. Negative windows, proper stairs, great crew quarters, dj space, Victoria 5feet 6 or 8...
And chef😊
It's going to be awesome 👌
I don’t know how you guys are so patient during the build process … I would explode…lol
This gives the viewers all the fun of building a yacht without all the expense.
Sweet layout! Just a little bit closer to the finished product! So happy for you guys!😊

If you've managed to read all of this, my hat's off to you, lol. These are just my ideas though, so you can feel free to completely ignore them if you're happy with your layout as-is. I look forward to seeing how everything turns out!!! Cheers!! :D
Great episode, now it’s starting to get real. Liking the general arrangement choices you’ve made so far. The idea of putting the crew quarters on the main deck is genius. I didn’t hear anything about Rico’s DJ setup on the dance deck. 😂. Can’t wait for the next episode and the one s after it.
Looking forward to all the GEEKY episodes with Rico and Alexei talking about sound, testing different setups and installations…! 😀
😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳🤪
You guys are living the dream a beautiful yacht majority can only dream about and having a chef on board that's a dream.
I am excited for you'll dream boat coming true! Someone is really starting to like those super. yachts, lol!
😝🙈😂
So happy for you guys! I can't wait!
💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻
Q and a with alexi was 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
These are my FAVORITE videos ever!
Ooowwww
Hull Numero Uno, That's Exciting...It's going to be Great !
😝🙈🙌🏻
negative windows are right choice.They will look great! I started to buid 80 feet custom ocean explorer and strugeled lot make my mind between positive and negative windows. 😇
Like Rico, I can't wait to see and learn about all of the Mechanicals. I was a Boiler Technician in the US Navy many years ago, so mechanical systems are my thing. The "Negative Windows" are also a plus! Great call
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Thanks. It is very exciting. When I win the lotto I'll buy a pre-owned yacht and have modifications made gradually as needed. It will be less stressful for this old man.
best wishes
I can't wait to see the finished product
I know I might be a little late to ask this, but the question just popped into my brain when Rico was telling us about the US spec... what brand and type of batteries are you looking at? Just in aww over your build.. 🇺🇸👍😊
Think about THE DAY when this boat is being delivered to you guys? WOW. That's going yo be Hugh.
Happy for you guys to have that moment to look forward to. Love from 🇳🇴
Exciting...and so it begins.
It’s going to be Beautiful!! I’m so happy for y’all
Thank you so much
Separation from guests and crew is important for sanity and security as well.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is really exciting
Well done
Keep communicating
Stuart in Ireland ☘️❤️
OoooMmmmmmGgggggg !!!! I just can not wait for more of this and to see it complete and in the water!!!!❤ from everything you have shared she is going to be badass !! I’m so happy you are sharing this with us thank you 🙏 😊
Thanks Chris, looong way to go!
I love both of your channels and I am Super excited that you are taking us all on your yacht building journey with you! Maybe one day I will get to experience that process myself, but for now, you guys are the next best thing and I think we all Love you for that! Keep the awesome videos coming and we will keep eating them up!!
Thank you Jay! We are rooting for you!
009 is 007’s boss 😊 can’t wait to see the finished product.
😝😝😝😂😂😂
What a great layout ‼️ Another idea is as all dumb waiter from main deck to fly deck to load food / beverages / towels / etc., up and down. 😊
I wish we had the space 🙈
one of my favourite boats on youtube is a jay benford 57 named teddi bear and it also has an amazing master on the lower deck but my choice would be the guest it has on the upper deck behind the pilot house due to views alone so I support your guys decision
The day head included in the 7 heads
Yes it is
I'm so happy for you guys, can't wait to see the finished product. I like the layout you came up with.
Thanks so much!
Exciting update once again. As one Sub. had commented.. It is so nice watching you all going over the plans toghether more as friends rather than Vendor and Consumers!! Yet again.. the glisten in your eyes Victoria when vlogging about this build😍 Waiting for the next one Victoria and Rico!! Cheers, Bernie😎
🥳🥳🙌🏻💙
I love watching you two with Alexi. He obviously loves you two. Ive seen him with other UA-camrs and hes not the same. You bring out the best in him. Anyways. Excited for you all. Take care.
I was 'off' for a few weeks, and came back to 4 new videos, including the FLOORPLAN one I've been looking forward to! Awesome! On to the next adventure... 😄
Thanks for watching 💙🙏
So exciting!
Would love to see the hiring process of the crew. Touching on Pay, job duties, husband wife teams?
I used to be a O/O trucker with my wife. Sometimes it works.
Best wishes on your new build.
May it become all that you have dreamed and wished for, with many wondrous years for both of your future!!! God bless!!!
Oooow thank youu
Great job, looking forward to this behind the scenes build; every video has been top notch. Thanks for bringing everyone along with you!😎💯
Thank you joining Dan
Beautiful boat,guys.Iits even more beautiful,with Vicky onboard.Ihope you have a long,annd happy relationship with your beautiful boat.With Alexie, Buildding her,I am sure you wwwill. Thank Thank for the video
Getting closer and closer..
The cabin behind the wheel house is called "the captainS cabin", of course :)
Guys, this is awesome! I love following this build process, even though (I'm afraid to say) I'm a bit behind on the videos that you have posted. Something that I haven't seen addressed yet, in the design, is placement of the many TV screens that will be on board. For the cabins, I hope that you'll be putting some of the larger screens on the ceiling above the beds, instead of as popup screens from cabinets. I tried the above-the-bed idea in my house, and it makes so much more sense than wall mounts or popup screens if the intention is to make it primarily viewable from the bed. Think about it: No more pillows to prop up just to watch TV... Much more comfortable and frees up some valuable storage space.
The face of the blond girl every time you were explaining your specs you wanted in your boat...priceless 😂😂🤣🤣 congrats again from Mexico City 🥰🥰
Congrats
🙏🏻💙
Siri always so much fun to see Alexei! This video is a lot of fun and really interesting! I really enjoyed seeing the shipyard and the ships currently under construction. I find the full construction part very interesting. It’s exciting to see the space where your yacht is being built and to know that will be seeing footage of the actual construction! Love from Vermont

After seeing all of the Bering videos, if I ever get lucky enough to win the Lottery, I would build. Bering boat no doubt, 1st item on my bucket list. Wont ever happen, but I can dream 😃
It's fun watching your journey... enjoy it! I, like many, am living vicariously through you!
Nautistyles design team and nbbl list can advance Bering years ahead of others. Alexi has to balance setting expectations that keep project on time and budget because that's essential too. I'd suggest being persistent whenever the ask is in Bering's benefit, like with the negative Windows..
It all sounds fantastic , I'm even very excited for you both , also envious ( because of age and medical problems I cant get back on the high seas any more , I love the ocean ) it's a beautiful , practicable sea going home , love it . Cant wait to see your maiden voyage . Thank you very much for sharing !!
Fantastic! Great design, loved the ideas and wish you all the best! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thank you Mauro
It's a lot easier to weld down then it's the weld up and that's why they build the boats upside down and then flip them over when it's time to fit them out
Your plans on screen seem pretty good, and balanced fairly between the needs of the crew and guests (paying customers). I guess if you had a very modest sleeping area and allowed the guests to have the rear half of the top deck, then you may have been able to charge a little more, but looks like you value some privacy and comfort on the top deck, so the marginal extra income you are foregoing seems a reasonable price for a better lifestyle for yourselves. Good planning! 😃
That’d the thought
MY Nautidream ;-) will shure be a perfect vessel!
Yes it will 🙌🏻🙏🏻💙
Loved the plans!
🙏🏻🙌🏻
