When I was researching this vlog I was surprised by how few yacht builders specialise in Explorer yachts that are over 24m in length but under 500 GT in volume.
Here are four examples, but which one do you think is the best of the best?

I think a few videos detailing just what the build/crew requirement changes are between the various classifications would be very interesting to a lot of viewers. I might suggest four videos in a series going over each of the classifications, under 24 meters, under 500 gross tons, under 3000 gross tons, above 3000 gross tons, and then maybe a fifth talking about what a passenger yacht (more than 12 guests) requires. Of course I suppose all this might fit inside one, slightly long video.

The details of Bering for safety and comfort are very nice.

I think the Benetti B.Yond 37m should have qualified for this list. Under 500GT build of steel, and a 5000 nm range. Others to mention might have been Lynx new 32m project and Jet Tern Selene 128 (Nordhavn's main competitor).

[kentvonmiddledorm]

Love the videos. Will check this later. Personall, Bering Yachts has this area covered.

[williamrobinson]

This video is so good! and the infrographics and breakdown....wow!

thanks for upload

[robertknitzer]

Always look forward to your videos, David!

I love the large aft deck, it’s almost a backyard.. I see a piece of Astroturfing and mini golf, or decking and inbuilt seating.. Great for families..

[huntersoli]

Would love your opinion on the Numarine brand! Definitely one of my favorite looking yachts and a huge fan of their styles. Haven't seen much info about how people like them though. Thanks 😊

[mouadbougra]

great videos but you forgot to mention Numarine.

[colin.chaffers]

All of these yachts tick the boxes for an explorer yacht, so it would come down to the look and feel of the yacht in detail, such as, redundancy of systems and as you said storage of food for longer passages, BTW I still love the X-treme 105 its beach club area is awesome, although its not in this league for world exploration. Good job team and look forward to the next blog. David Seal: Some say "he is master of YouTube yachting blogs, others say he is David Seal with a wiggly bum", all I know is his channel is simply the best, better than all the rest.

Thanks, David.
Another great video 😊

What a wish list to have truly fantasy boating 😊

[miguelkirjon]

Hi David, it would be beneficial for tall people like me if you could mention the headroom for all future yacht vlogs. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Finally, speed, range and fuel quantity, listening to so many specifications that yachts can so many miles at such and such a speed without ever knowing how much fuel it can carry is so confusing, thank you for adding in this fuel factor.

[jasonjenkins-ferris]

Great vid... I was just thinking over the last few days (dreaming) would I choose CDM or Bering... lol. I wonder what you think of Van Der Valk... seems they don't really have models on their website but I would think they could produce a yacht in this class upon request.

[Zepherian]

Sea state also is a huge factor on range, so it's always a an estimate. Always to be taken with a pinch of salt, which I guess is a given in the middle of the ocean!

[ericteneyck]

Love the Berings and the use of interior space they have, I wonder they could be specced to hold a submarine also? The CDM and Sanlorenzo look like great yachts also.

[dormamo]

Beering has the largest tank, so if you speed the yacht at 8kn only maybe it can surpass the 6000NM of that Sanlorenzo.
