Wow!!! This was a great video! Alexei, you covered so much in detail, it was great to get the answers to so many questions that you usually don’t get in a normal video. Loved every minute of it! You and your people build a beautiful boat! Thank you so much for the in depth video. And the captain was so knowledgeable and the answers to your questions were able to be understood by those of us who love the sea. Thank You!

Boats are like cars, use it every day and it will not let you down. This is what they are built to do and lets face it it gives you pleasure at the same time.

Excellent job Captain, this is the kind of information we need and love to hear! Keep it coming!

[TaniaGail]

I always learn something from Bering videos. Well done!

[FLGurl]

Very good and safe crossing. Many thanks for sharing all of this. 🤗

Have you seen the video about the bad review of the Bering 70? and will there be explanations for this video? the essence of the video is that everything on the Bering 70 yacht is constantly breaking down! it 's just that people don 't understand well who is responsible for what when a particular unit breaks down !
The Bering 92 Papillon really showed very good results in fuel consumption! it is unclear why the starter battery failed so quickly? What kind of batteries do you install? after all, there are very high-quality starter batteries on the market!
More videos of this format and good luck to Bering

This is what I have been waiting for! Sell my business and start a charter, damn the collage tuitions I didn’t have one

@BeringYachts awesome content and info. In my 52yrs on this earth, I have never gotten to travel on any Ocean (if it couldn't be driven on) nor have I done any sea crossing, of any kind. which I have fantasized about since my youth. However being that I am a loser, and a poor, that is all it will ever be, nothing but a fantasy.

[B__Mer]

Ha, when I first estimated the fuel burn of the crossing, I guessed/estimated $35, 000.00 usd.

[froqueantunes]

Thank you, it was one of the best videos that i have see. Is important to now the amount of the money that we have to spend travel from the States to Europe. The time you can do one with the cost during the season in europe and in the Bahamas. Again thanks.

[gfroese]

I'm confused. Those are commercial engines from what I understand, so 500 hours IS just one oil and filter change at 400 hrs. I speak from experience of many years on tug boats with 1000 horse power Cummins marine grade engines as Engineer. Same on our gen sets. Used 15w 40 Rotella or equivalent. On a 70 pusher with 4 500 hp Detroit's we used 50 weight at 450 hrs.. Help me understand. PS also did oil samples every 200 hrs.

How can they see over the consoles in the bridge? You have to be at least 6’2 for decent visibility.

[brianjenkins]

Thank you for this information. Can somebody please confirm the number of days for the crossing on this vessel. I recall the average speed was approximately 7.5 knots.
