Ohhhh and, comparing where you used to live in and where you're right now with the construction of this incredible yatch, you're flying... And feel so happy for you, ir is really nice to see nice people getting blessings in their lives.
The flexibility and attitudes of Bering are amazing. Truly a reflection of Alexi and the way he runs his company. I can only imagine how exciting this process is for you both.
@@NautiGuys at the end, when the boat is ready, will you show us you BBL list and will you tell us which wishes you could accomplish and which not and why? I think that could be a good lesson for other people that are planning to build a boat. And also, when the stage comes to choose colours, tiles, materials.... Are you going for a timeless design (I mean blue fishbone tiles are trendy now but are they still in 10 years??) or are you going for something timeless and still gorgeous of course. Are you also telling us which design decisions are included with this model and for which you have to pay more. Did you have to make concessions and if yes... Which? Love, Daniëlle from the Netherlands 🙋😘
Victoria, you are amazing. Outstanding review of the plans. For years, NautiStyles has taken us on tours of the most incredible yachts built. Your NBBL was always part of a grand plan. Because you live on your craft, you have a very unique perspective and ability to critique the features you see. Alexei is able to interact with you and Rico on very, very important design issues that future boat owners will benefit from and mentor you along the way. The Master Boat Builder has surrounded himself with a team that thinks outside the box. You and Rico bring the best qualities out of each other. You are all great communicators. It feels like Divine Providence has brought you all together. The synergistic accomplishments in this quest are undeniable. Thank you NautiGuys and God Bless the people of Turkey!!! ♥️💞🙏
I like how you are thinking of the crew and passengers comfort and convenience, as well as your own, show of the caring you put into thought for those besides yourself. Pick that up in both videos
This will turn out amazing ( and expensive :D ) Here is an Idea we produce for 3 charter yachts, you can consider in regards to no plastic waste and drink bottles: Every guest receives on boarding his personal double walled stainless steel tumbler, engraved with your logo and ship name as well as persons name and trip date. They easy to source and not too expensive ( depending on Tumbler quality ), but definitely something Guests remember and keep.
Once again you guys amaze me with your generosity, taking us along with you on every step of this journey that so many people are never able to see for themselves. It's more than having a home built, more than 'just' having a yacht built. Yep, amazing content.
Love love love this type of content. This is a once in a live time for most people to even see now design reviews actually works. Take lots of patience and understanding from ALL parties to keep this on schedule and within a workable Budget! THANKS for sharing.
Love this series. Much better than anything on TV.... Very similar to watching the design of $3M custom motorhomes where you get to pick out every cabinet, wood, fabric, and that layout of it all.
I love listening to you explain what you want and why you want it! So well thought out! I also have noticed that so far nothing you suggest has gotten a no from anyone connected with Bering! Amazing how open and versatile they are!
Having experienced customers also benefits the builder. Seems every request is logic and utility based so their suggestions adds tools to Betings tool chest. From my perspective coming from a custom home construction background this is an interesting watch.
I really like the level of involvement that Bering has with their customers and the amount of detail that the customer is allowed to dictate. I can’t wait until it is completed…I will have my seabag packed and ready to go! 🤘😎🤘
Wow so informative! I would never had thought about warranty issues with appliances. Having never owned a new boat of any kind I would have never even begun the thought process on all the different warranty's through out the boat. For some reason I just had the idea that it would be under the builder. Then when you mentioned it I realized that when you buy a new build house that comes with new "Major Appliances" those are all their individual manufacture warrant's. Just on a Yacht you have 100 times the amount of needed equipment not just appliances. Really mind blown.
I will never own a boat like this BUT if I did: I could see myself ordering the boat they are building. Not because I want to charter but because they have really built the perfect boat for taking your family (adult kids, grandkids, etc) with you on a cruising adventure. Lots of room for the “extra” people while keeping private space for yourself. All the little extras and modifications make so much sense. Can’t wait for the finished product to slide into the water.
By the looks of it, the high low table in the salon lounge is going to convert into extra sleeping spots. Which could be good even to accommodate more people for a short hire. What is the person limit on a yacht this size for a party? Thanks? You may have a head with a shower in the salon level. If you have the room.....
I don't know why, but the person in the background at 3:49 walking in a hurry without trying to spill that liquid just cracked me up. 😅 "We're gonna need a bigger boat." I love that quote. 🙂 This was very interesting. It's nice seeing a how the General Arrangement process works out. This is really a unique experience we are having being able to follow you through your boat-building process and I (and I'm sure others) greatly appreciate it!
The sliding doors take up valuable wall space. But you do want a big entrance door on every level to get in 'the grand piano'. Just joking! But there can be big moveable items that need a wider entrance.
This was wonderful. You had so many insightful ideas. You where definitely in your element. It's plain to see you and Rico have thought long and hard about this boat. I hope you two are as successful in this venture as you hope.
I absolutely love this content. Thank you guys for bringing us along with your build . Excited for every update and realy feel like you guys do a great job of making the viewers feel apart of the build. Thank you .
Storage for bikes. Excellent, using one water bottle per guest. Using the fresh water for refills. And, self- serving coffee. You can also have a coffee pod serrver. A machine that uses different coffees or tea. Like, breakfast coffee, regular, decaf. Paper towel holder. Maybe by back left bar area. And, Roco's comment, We need a bigger boat!
Great video and had to laugh when Katrina told you that you even have a chance to move a bulk head since this is hull nr 1. Your boat will set the standard for the series ! How incredible is that ? Loved the remark in the end: 'we need a bigger boat ! That is exactly what we always say when we bring on new equipment on the boat. 😀
Great video. Everytime I watch I learn something. It is so informative to see two people who understand boating working with a company that is willing to accomomodate your needs and desires.
This was genuinely interesting & informative. Whilst lots of us may be/ have been/ have some sailing/ boating experience I feel confident in assuming that the large majority of us aren't SY owners or will ever have the means to be so( my own experience is from being a Royal Marine Commando and having served most my time in a small boat focussed unit [ that I shan't elaborate on for obvious reasons]). Seeing the IRL client/ builder process about fit-out intricacies, imho, gave a really good insight into a really important part of the process that most would likely never see. Let's be honest here. I think a fly on the wall of Kristina & Saida walking away and going 'OMG, how the hell are we gonna make all that work & what a pain in the ass?!' would be the icing on the cake BUT also will never happen as the client should never know a good 30%+ of the providers thoughts 😉😁 .That's NOT to say you two come across as difficult clients at all. Just a 'thinking aloud' thought of my own. This video also showed perfectly how the pair of you approach this entire journey from such a well balanced Crew/ Guest stance. Whilst I won't even attempt to imply I could understand such things fully I imagine there are so many more subconscious biases to battle and/or overcome when you're commissioning your own vessel that will both be your own home and must function in a financially viable manner for your guests. Buying a 2nd hand vessel or crewing it is one thing but when the stakes are so high & have such high impact potentials. Finding that balance must be so much harder
I hope Kristina and Saida are appreciating the cool ideas brought to this build and to be able to possibly incorporate them future builds considering this is going to be, I think the #1 production.
I love watching the design and planning for the VictoRico and would so love to see the boat on completion. I'm sure it will be amazing. Bering has always been my favorite boat builder and I don't think you could have made a better choice.
For storage, especially in crew quarters, trays that lay above top bunk, and underneath top bunk for lower bunk. These pop downs could also be used under any shelf for misc drink items at the bar or emergency gear.
I am freaking loving this. Seeing the process from contract signing to the boat hitting the water and all the steps in between is totally fascinating. I can't wait for the next part (I am guessing)with Rico talking about all the different systems that are to be selected. Same with appliances. Do you go with Sub Zero for the dual compressors or with kitchen aid because of their warranty program etc. Or do you go with Bosch for their engineering. So many choices, so much research.
@@timessix8434 I will take a sub zero with dual compressor every day. When your fridge fails it's a big deal. Having two compressors allows the fridge to maintain until you get a replacement. You can get a replacement anywhere in the world. Miele is certainly a high end brand with a high end prices and some of their niche products are exceptional for sure.
I agree 100% with your 2 dishwashers. I was just wishing i had 2 dishwashers in my home today. Im also really liking this build series in general. Think it may be because im a civil engineer.
Man you guy’s really picked an incredible boat builder in Alexi. That man is special. And, an amazing company in Bering. Every time you ask can we do.... The answer is yes no problem. No if’s and or buts. No excuse. Great idea he says. No problem. Your yacht/home/business is going to be awesome. I can’t wait for the day it hits the water!
If you add food warmers. I believe they can be pre-set for warming temperatures. Until dining begins. Holding the pre-cooked food. Food warmers have trays with sleeves for plates,. You can get food out of the way on plates, in the kitchen. The food warmers can be set out, by the back of the salon, when you have outdoor dining. So, basically you're making a lot more room, in the kitchen. A lot better for a chef. Who is preparing a lot of food.
Outside of the US most of the world is on 220-240V. I would therefore make the electrical outlets dual voltage, both 110V and 230V for flexibility, which would be helpful for international guests and in consideration of the after sales market that could well be in Asia or Europe.
Oh, this was the greatest (and most interesting) meeting. Thumbs up on the 'no plastic' and 'split coffee table' (OH, how I hate to move 6 people just because I need to get off my seat!). Good thinking on the flexible 'couple or not' crew cabin! Loving this series!! 😄
Great idea on the water bottles. Maybe have the names of guest engraved as a great memorial for there trip. You and Rico could easily do it right on the boat prior to arrival. Laser engravers are getting cheap these days. Look into Xtool
Re-usable water bottles are all very good, but you need to have a cleaning regime for them so that guests aren't sucking on the same bottle for a week or two. Also - your filling system for them should be designed such that there is no contact between the bottle and the water fawcet.
@@AliG-iq4gd Firstly, you're overthinking it. Secondly, personal hygiene is the guests' responsibility; and at any rate, all they need do is present their bottles at breakfast every day, and the hostess/chef/whoever can run the steam generator on the coffee maker thru them which will sterilise them. If you really think that reusable water bottles are an issue then you are the problem, not the bottle. You are sanitising yourself so well that you leave yourself open for infection by destroying your inbuilt resistance to infection. It's like not letting your kids play in dirt and thinking that is good for them.
Very exciting stuff. This is the highlight of my Thursday! I hope to one day be the recipient of one of those reusable water bottles on board your yacht!!! (FYI I will be keeping it as a souvenir even if I have to smuggle it out in my luggage haha) Great idea by the way.
Extra electrical outlets on upper deck so Rico can set-up his sound systems.Include speaker ports to tap entire system aboard too.Same for lower lounge.Your ship is going to be so Wonderful.
10:30, THANK YOU for recognizing the extreme waste of bottled water. I work in a grocery store, it sickens me how much water we sell bottled up in plastic that ends up in the landfill or in tiny particles in the ocean. I'd say by weight about 1/5 of the merchandise we sell is water. Produces a lot of pollution to move water from place to place, especially if you are moving it from some crazy distance place like Fiji.
This is great entertainment. Good luck over the next few weeks keeping your stress levels in check. You could see the stress on Rico's face when he walked in at the end.😱😩 Love the secret door idea, it will definitely hide an eye sore in the salon and make the area more practical/useable. Thanks, once again, for a very enjoyable video.
This video is wonderful! I love learning how you’re putting this boat together. There is so many details. It’s mind-boggling. I look forward to more videos like this! Love from Vermont
Just some other observations. If you are putting the pullman at the feet of the other two beds, will the other beds have some sort of compartment on each side to hold a drink, phone etc.? Will the pullman have its own compartment fir phone and drink....? Will those compartments be cut into the wall? Will the pullman have its own reading light? Same with the two singles, will they have their own spotlights for reading. Will those singles have the option of sliding together? Will that affect storage access problem under the beds. Could those beds lift up (Ottoman Storage beds) from the head to avail of storage compartments underneath instead of drawers no matter the location of the beds in the room? Then the other matter is ease of access climbing up into the Pullman when the beds are joined. The location of the pullman affects the small design elements of the whole room as you can see above. Clearly, the more flexible (multi-use) the accommodation in certain areas, the better. You probably do not have to have such extreme adaptability in the other staterooms/cabins. And sticking to drawers for the Master Stateroom below so much more attractive, but lift up beds have an amazing amount of storage, better than drawers and can accommodate those awkward suitcases. You may choose to have a slightly higher than normal bed platform in a Master Stateroom. Definitely able to accommodate super large cases. A super tidy stateroom during a long haul trip which actually sounds like bliss to me. I guess I am a detail oriented person..... So excited for you both and your Charter Explorer Yacht.
Fascinating look at the decisions that go into a semi-custom large yacht. I am surprised you want to keep the day head -- it is very visible and everyone in the salon will watch anyone enter the day head. I bet 99% of charterers will go below to their own cabin instead of using the day head. The space where the day head is could be used for many other things -- a huge galley pantry, or by moving the galley bulkhead you could expand the crew space. Good idea to remove the small dining table and chairs, but I wonder if a U-shaped dinette could fit in that general area? It would be great to offer guests an indoor dining space if weather outside is miserable and cold or too hot. Enjoyed the video!
I remember as a kid travelling between the US, Africa, ASia and Europe and carrying transformers that would allow our 110 appliances (small) to use 220 current. Great fun when you would forget. Sometimes we even got fireworks....lol
The folks at the shipyard will need the patience of Job. It's one thing to say "We would like an icemaker here" without being able to accommodate the electrical and water supply requirements. The engineering for some requests can be enormous. 🙂🙂
Great young ladies you are working with there at Bering. Look forward to seeing the electric layout and sound layout of the Bering. Actually make sure that you get appliances that are rated 120v. 110v hardly exist. Also make sure the battery converters are putting out 120v and not 125v. Higher voltage will damage appliances over time. Looking forward to next build video. Rico, make sure they install several weatherproof 120 v receptacle circuits near the side of upper wall at base of the crane. Trust me you will never have enough receptacles/circuits for Electronics. Build on dudes. Chow
With a big boat like that, do they use food carts from the kitchen? Or, food warmers that have shelves with trays. To keep each plate warm. Then, to the back of the salon. This way, you don't have to walk and balance plates. Plus, fewer trips, back-and-forth For a long walk to the back
@S. M. I wish I was. I have been fortunate to be around a Cuisine expert..Not a Master, but an expert in Vietnamese Food Cuisine. What is remarkable is that it was the world food traveler, the late Anthony Bourdain's favorite cuisine, (in the entire world). He mentioned that on his show. Also can be seen on TH-cam. Things I've had, like stuffed oven roasted and seasond lobster..Their soups. One veggie wrapped sandwich. Wrapped just like a burrito. Except the wrap is made of clear rice paper. And their desserts. O M G ! They learned from French Cuisine cooking. I think his favorites were Vietnamese, Thai, and French. Spain also has some interesting fish dishes. At a restaurant, served as part of a five- course-meal
A couple of vids from the CrewChef or SuperYachtCaptain show that they use overhead lamp warmers on some yachts to keep the food warm. Or racks to warm the plates. But even on a large yacht most of the time you are walking dishes from the galley to where the guests are eating. Or using the dumb waiter to get a platter out then plating it near the guests.
@@NautiGuys if Victoria keeps adding on to it it may be 3 years. And 10 ft longer. They'll have to cut the hull and add 10 feet to it. I'll bet it will be amazing though. Maybe a reversible escalator. "The people want what the people want".
@@NautiGuys Hey, I have seen you (and others) feature boats with accessibility considerations. I’m wondering if we will see more companies adding lifts and elevators etc. to their layouts. Some of these boats have four or five separate staircases and I kind of scratch my head and wonder why they don’t just put a central elevator behind the pilot house, forward of the typical galley location that services each deck. 🤷🏻♂️
When this yacht is completed, it's going to be like the tents in the Harry Potter Movies. Normal size on the outside and unbelievably huge and spacious on the inside. This thing is going to be amazing. I can't wait for the finished product. Everyone give Nautiguys their props because they have created a unique content channel where they are kindly taking us along on their journey. Showing us the entire process of buying and designing their dream. Add Bering to the mix, and it's like the perfect marriage (or should I say "extra marriage", lol). A great couple with a great Yacht Building team!
Hi, big fan for long time.. exited about your new boat ! :) u ignited new passion for me - boats :) A boat is like a house, so as an architect, I would suggest not to sacrifice back salone sliding doors, couse u will lose a lot of visual "space", and back view when sitting on sofa (and same in cockpit view to the salone). I would even sugest to make them open 100%, to connect salone and cockpit, then u can put a very big table for big events there. I'm sure there's a lot of space for storage in this big boat ;) Also, dont block stairs, keep them as open as possible, they should be like piece of art sculpture in any interior ! :) I suggest dont copy same function spaces, I understand there could be 8 guests + crew, but make every space unique ! u dont have to be able to eat at every table in every space. maybe even dont do 2 kitchens, couse your guests will travel with glasses even plates in hands, and between 2 of them will be a mess :D The small kitchen will be uncomfortable to work in :/ it will get bigger and bigger until u will see u have 2 kitchens :/ leave it as a bar only maybe, with easy to move furniture IMO. In flybridge u even could have inflatable/ movable "jaccuzzi", off course also ability of a dance floor for DJ :), so furniture should be easy (re)movable. I envy you so much :) how about we will be your 1st guests when u start in Mediterranean? :D
If i was a kid id prefer a full bunk bed above me for the privacy aspects. Put some curtains around it and you have your own mini room. As its likely that you will be in the room with siblings not friends.
We need a bigger boat!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Aweome vid! 100% your doing your content correctly!!! This is so huge for you two...Thank you for putting together a great vid that lets us be apart!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
When you plan out your galley, do you spend time with a superyacht chef to figure out what you need for the wow factor to be included to give your charter guests the very best possible choices or do you make you decisions entirely on your comfort zone and budget? Some people are up for the challenge you have undertaken, I am not one of them so I get to live through you vicariously without any of the stress involved😀😀 I am so very much looking forward to the next installment of your series.
I did not see you talk about top that Rico asked about to be fitted on top of the upper crane. So he could use it as a DJ location. But you did bring up the two orange chairs so points for that. You may wish to talk to them about that soon because they would also need to have some power wired to plug in the equipment.
You could have food tray plate warmers in-built, in the kitchen. Or, portable food tray plate warmers. This allows more plates on kitchen countertops, for the chef to put more food there. Otherwise, plates start to get in the way of more food being prepared in the kitchen -Mike
Wow! So many things to think about, not only what appliances, but they have to be USA standard electric. I’m sure you feel a little overwhelmed right now, but it will come together. I bet you wake up in the middle of the night and write things down. So exciting, but also a little stressful.
You need that thing. In a while you will also need a Jolly Jumper. On a monohull if you set it up properly it can be a baby inclinometer (baby stays level and the boat moves around her). Depression is normal. At this point Delos, La Vag, and several other sailing channels are a year or more in front of you in baby management on boats. Use those resources (you could even set up a boat mama discord channel or something). Babies are poop machines. You put food in the top and get poop out of the bottom. If you put too much food in, the system will back up and come back at you. A by product in the production of poop is gas. Gas will come out of both ends (sometimes at the same time). Much like a composting toilet that has the handle that mixes the compost, movement aides in the production of poop and gas. I would like to tell you it will get easier. My youngest is 26 the oldest is 40, It gets easier somewhere in between those two numbers.
I am SO EXCITED for you two! I can’t wait to see the your new yacht and I’m really wondering what you’ll name her! (It is a her, right? I thought all ships are female, some old naval superstition or something like that) I’m guessing “Nauti”. For obvious reasons!
@@NautiGuys and I can see that inside and out she is a beauty, just like her owners! God bless you and may she bring you years of happiness and prosperity!
I like that Vic killed the big table, that space will look more open and casual with her idea for the seating. Also Agree Rico's two orange chairs are a must.
Sounds like Bering is the Cadillac of the yachts in that size range. They are very well constructed and way ahead of all competitors. Leading the way to top quality built vessels.
@janez kovac for the record @S. M. is not working for us, he is a very nice Sub and we don't need to create "fake" accounts to tell you to troll along... you are harassing so many people in our comments on both channels that even YT is flagging you over and over...move on if you don't like it... we are starting to think someone has actually hired your to troll... No? you are spreading hate for free?? how sad 🤷♀️😂
I'm loving watching your new build. By far, the best innovation you have ever showcased on your channel was the Greenline ocean class 68 hybrid propulsion. Did you contemplate using something like that as Ricco was so impressed by it.
Dinning room table idea. Do a duel swivel elongated table that splits apart. So you have a table for the men and a table for the woman or you swivel back together for one elongated table. One end has a 1’ folds up that allows for the swivel.
Can you make a video explaining how you go about financing/affording this project? No personal information, just an overview of what it takes to get the financing (like how much you need to bring yourself etc), what are your assumptions around charter revenues etc. Basically I’m curious to know more about the business model/case you build on.
Ohhhh and, comparing where you used to live in and where you're right now with the construction of this incredible yatch, you're flying... And feel so happy for you, ir is really nice to see nice people getting blessings in their lives.

Exciting to see the beginnings of your new ship/home take shape. I've never seen anyone else do such a video. Keep up the good work.
How exciting to see the layout and how you get to make your NBBL come to fruition. ❤
Great video. Everytime I watch I learn something. It is so informative to see two people who understand boating working with a company that is willing to accomomodate your needs and desires.
Yes, we feel very fortunate we have found each other
The Bering rep made surprisingly few notes. Basically just said Yes. Good that you have all this on tape ;)
When you were talking about what goes on the upper deck, I was screaming, "ICE MAKER" in my head LOL
Hahahaha
This was genuinely interesting & informative. Whilst lots of us may be/ have been/ have some sailing/ boating experience I feel confident in assuming that the large majority of us aren't SY owners or will ever have the means to be so( my own experience is from being a Royal Marine Commando and having served most my time in a small boat focussed unit [ that I shan't elaborate on for obvious reasons]). Seeing the IRL client/ builder process about fit-out intricacies, imho, gave a really good insight into a really important part of the process that most would likely never see.
Let's be honest here. I think a fly on the wall of Kristina & Saida walking away and going 'OMG, how the hell are we gonna make all that work & what a pain in the ass?!' would be the icing on the cake BUT also will never happen as the client should never know a good 30%+ of the providers thoughts 😉😁 .That's NOT to say you two come across as difficult clients at all. Just a 'thinking aloud' thought of my own.
This video also showed perfectly how the pair of you approach this entire journey from such a well balanced Crew/ Guest stance. Whilst I won't even attempt to imply I could understand such things fully I imagine there are so many more subconscious biases to battle and/or overcome when you're commissioning your own vessel that will both be your own home and must function in a financially viable manner for your guests. Buying a 2nd hand vessel or crewing it is one thing but when the stakes are so high & have such high impact potentials. Finding that balance must be so much harder
it's been quite the journey! Actually Bering has been very welcoming to hear our requests, but I did get a few Nos on my NBBL... we will be sharing
I hope Kristina and Saida are appreciating the cool ideas brought to this build and to be able to possibly incorporate them future builds considering this is going to be, I think the #1 production.
I love watching the design and planning for the VictoRico and would so love to see the boat on completion. I'm sure it will be amazing. Bering has always been my favorite boat builder and I don't think you could have made a better choice.
Being able to make the changes because of being hull one is really neat.
pros and cons of a model that has not been build yet🙈😝
For storage, especially in crew quarters, trays that lay above top bunk, and underneath top bunk for lower bunk. These pop downs could also be used under any shelf for misc drink items at the bar or emergency gear.
I am freaking loving this. Seeing the process from contract signing to the boat hitting the water and all the steps in between is totally fascinating. I can't wait for the next part (I am guessing)with Rico talking about all the different systems that are to be selected. Same with appliances. Do you go with Sub Zero for the dual compressors or with kitchen aid because of their warranty program etc. Or do you go with Bosch for their engineering. So many choices, so much research.
ahhhhhh you are killing me 🙈😝😝😝 sooooo hard!!!
One word on appliances........Electrolux whenever possible. We love ours !
Miele all the way
@@timessix8434 I will take a sub zero with dual compressor every day. When your fridge fails it's a big deal. Having two compressors allows the fridge to maintain until you get a replacement. You can get a replacement anywhere in the world. Miele is certainly a high end brand with a high end prices and some of their niche products are exceptional for sure.
I agree 100% with your 2 dishwashers. I was just wishing i had 2 dishwashers in my home today.
Im also really liking this build series in general. Think it may be because im a civil engineer.
🙏🏻🙌🏻
Man you guy’s really picked an incredible boat builder in Alexi. That man is special. And, an amazing company in Bering. Every time you ask can we do.... The answer is yes no problem. No if’s and or buts. No excuse. Great idea he says. No problem. Your yacht/home/business is going to be awesome. I can’t wait for the day it hits the water!
We did get some Nos, we will share 🤪😂
If you add food warmers.
I believe they can be pre-set for warming temperatures. Until dining begins. Holding the pre-cooked food.
Food warmers have trays with sleeves for plates,. You can get food out of the way on plates, in the kitchen. The food warmers can be set out, by the back of the salon, when you have outdoor dining.
So, basically you're making a lot more room, in the kitchen. A lot better for a chef. Who is preparing a lot of food.
The Devil is in the detail. !! It's nice to see Bering so accommodating with all the changes.
Such a Cool process !! Im excited for you guys !!!
Love this episode. Their attitude towards you as their client is outstanding and the content discussed… *chef’s kiss* 👍🏻
Outside of the US most of the world is on 220-240V. I would therefore make the electrical outlets dual voltage, both 110V and 230V for flexibility, which would be helpful for international guests and in consideration of the after sales market that could well be in Asia or Europe.
Oh, this was the greatest (and most interesting) meeting. Thumbs up on the 'no plastic' and 'split coffee table' (OH, how I hate to move 6 people just because I need to get off my seat!). Good thinking on the flexible 'couple or not' crew cabin! Loving this series!! 😄
👌🏻🙏🏻🎉
Great idea on the water bottles. Maybe have the names of guest engraved as a great memorial for there trip. You and Rico could easily do it right on the boat prior to arrival. Laser engravers are getting cheap these days. Look into Xtool
yep, that's the plan... they can keep it if they like with a Boat Name as well
Good thinking! Yes laser engravers are really cheap and as long as it's coated (so not shiny reflective) even a cheap one can do alloy.
@@NautiGuys Don't think I have heard a name yet. NautiBoat? Maybe not. That might send the wrong message.😀
Re-usable water bottles are all very good, but you need to have a cleaning regime for them so that guests aren't sucking on the same bottle for a week or two. Also - your filling system for them should be designed such that there is no contact between the bottle and the water fawcet.
@@AliG-iq4gd Firstly, you're overthinking it. Secondly, personal hygiene is the guests' responsibility; and at any rate, all they need do is present their bottles at breakfast every day, and the hostess/chef/whoever can run the steam generator on the coffee maker thru them which will sterilise them.
If you really think that reusable water bottles are an issue then you are the problem, not the bottle. You are sanitising yourself so well that you leave yourself open for infection by destroying your inbuilt resistance to infection. It's like not letting your kids play in dirt and thinking that is good for them.
Very exciting stuff. This is the highlight of my Thursday! I hope to one day be the recipient of one of those reusable water bottles on board your yacht!!! (FYI I will be keeping it as a souvenir even if I have to smuggle it out in my luggage haha) Great idea by the way.
haha, no the plan is for them to be a gift if the guests would want to keep them with the Boat Logo on it
Extra electrical outlets on upper deck so Rico can set-up his sound systems.Include speaker ports to tap entire system aboard too.Same for lower lounge.Your ship is going to be so Wonderful.
we can’t wait to see the final product 🙏💙
Love to view this process. Will be fun to see what suggestions the team comes back with to meet your ideas. Great video guys.
Rico, great to meet you at MIBS. Thanks for the info. Hope to visit the factory in the fall.
You bet!
Love it! Be well, Duke
10:30, THANK YOU for recognizing the extreme waste of bottled water. I work in a grocery store, it sickens me how much water we sell bottled up in plastic that ends up in the landfill or in tiny particles in the ocean. I'd say by weight about 1/5 of the merchandise we sell is water. Produces a lot of pollution to move water from place to place, especially if you are moving it from some crazy distance place like Fiji.
Thank you for revealing the build processes and multiple layouts
This is great entertainment. Good luck over the next few weeks keeping your stress levels in check. You could see the stress on Rico's face when he walked in at the end.😱😩 Love the secret door idea, it will definitely hide an eye sore in the salon and make the area more practical/useable. Thanks, once again, for a very enjoyable video.
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching Bluey GILMORE
This is going to be a very well thought out and well built Yacht ! You kids are doing this correctly. Very well done.
Thank you Alan
@@NautiGuys you are welcome. you know I love you guys.
This video is wonderful! I love learning how you’re putting this boat together. There is so many details. It’s mind-boggling. I look forward to more videos like this! Love from Vermont
Our pleasure!
I've got to admit the build does seem awesome.
The finished product could be the best 75ft on the planet.
I can't wait to see it !
we can’t wait to see it either
Awesome episode guys! So happy for your progress; so much to consider. I'm so excited for each and every update on your build!
Thanks so much!
Cool. Awesome. Well done guys.
I really didn't think there was this much work in just the planning of the boat.
Same here
@@NautiGuys you guys are awesome.
Really loved that. So excited for you guys. Can't wait for the next episode.
Just some other observations. If you are putting the pullman at the feet of the other two beds, will the other beds have some sort of compartment on each side to hold a drink, phone etc.? Will the pullman have its own compartment fir phone and drink....? Will those compartments be cut into the wall? Will the pullman have its own reading light? Same with the two singles, will they have their own spotlights for reading. Will those singles have the option of sliding together? Will that affect storage access problem under the beds. Could those beds lift up (Ottoman Storage beds) from the head to avail of storage compartments underneath instead of drawers no matter the location of the beds in the room?
Then the other matter is ease of access climbing up into the Pullman when the beds are joined. The location of the pullman affects the small design elements of the whole room as you can see above. Clearly, the more flexible (multi-use) the accommodation in certain areas, the better.
You probably do not have to have such extreme adaptability in the other staterooms/cabins. And sticking to drawers for the Master Stateroom below so much more attractive, but lift up beds have an amazing amount of storage, better than drawers and can accommodate those awkward suitcases. You may choose to have a slightly higher than normal bed platform in a Master Stateroom. Definitely able to accommodate super large cases. A super tidy stateroom during a long haul trip which actually sounds like bliss to me.
I guess I am a detail oriented person..... So excited for you both and your Charter Explorer Yacht.
Fascinating look at the decisions that go into a semi-custom large yacht. I am surprised you want to keep the day head -- it is very visible and everyone in the salon will watch anyone enter the day head. I bet 99% of charterers will go below to their own cabin instead of using the day head. The space where the day head is could be used for many other things -- a huge galley pantry, or by moving the galley bulkhead you could expand the crew space.
Good idea to remove the small dining table and chairs, but I wonder if a U-shaped dinette could fit in that general area? It would be great to offer guests an indoor dining space if weather outside is miserable and cold or too hot.
Enjoyed the video!
I can’t believe how smart you guys are, and how this whole concept is playing out. Absolutely amazing!
thanks Claude💙🙏
I absolutely love being taken aboard on your journey to yachting heaven…… Everyone can dream a little can’t they? 😃
😉
This was fun. :) I'm enjoying the engineering/planning behind these kinds of boats.
so glad to hear that!
Thanks for watching Xero1of1
I remember as a kid travelling between the US, Africa, ASia and Europe and carrying transformers that would allow our 110 appliances (small) to use 220 current. Great fun when you would forget. Sometimes we even got fireworks....lol
The folks at the shipyard will need the patience of Job. It's one thing to say "We would like an icemaker here" without being able to accommodate the electrical and water supply requirements. The engineering for some requests can be enormous. 🙂🙂
🙈🙈
what a fantastic thing! To be involved in prototyping hull #1 to such a remarkable degree. Its amazing to watch
For plates on the fly bridge you can use a pillar with spring loaded plate station. It saves space and it is an easy to grab a plate and go.
great idea
Thanks for sharing this amazing journey!😊
Glad you enjoying it!
Great young ladies you are working with there at Bering. Look forward to seeing the electric layout and sound layout of the Bering. Actually make sure that you get appliances that are rated 120v. 110v hardly exist. Also make sure the battery converters are putting out 120v and not 125v. Higher voltage will damage appliances over time. Looking forward to next build video. Rico, make sure they install several weatherproof 120 v receptacle circuits near the side of upper wall at base of the crane. Trust me you will never have enough receptacles/circuits for
Electronics. Build on dudes. Chow
Absolutely LOVING this series!! Thank you so much.
With a big boat like that, do they use food carts from the kitchen? Or, food warmers that have shelves with trays. To keep each plate warm. Then, to the back of the salon. This way, you don't have to walk and balance plates. Plus, fewer trips, back-and-forth
For a long walk to the back
@S. M. I wish I was. I have been fortunate to be around a Cuisine expert..Not a Master, but an expert in Vietnamese Food Cuisine.
What is remarkable is that it was the world food traveler, the late Anthony Bourdain's favorite cuisine, (in the entire world). He mentioned that on his show. Also can be seen on TH-cam.
Things I've had, like stuffed oven roasted and seasond lobster..Their soups. One veggie wrapped sandwich. Wrapped just like a burrito.
Except the wrap is made of clear rice paper. And their desserts. O M G ! They learned from French Cuisine cooking.
I think his favorites were Vietnamese, Thai, and French. Spain also has some interesting fish dishes. At a restaurant, served as part of a five- course-meal
A couple of vids from the CrewChef or SuperYachtCaptain show that they use overhead lamp warmers on some yachts to keep the food warm. Or racks to warm the plates. But even on a large yacht most of the time you are walking dishes from the galley to where the guests are eating. Or using the dumb waiter to get a platter out then plating it near the guests.
Guys, I can't wait to see how you trick this boat out. What is your estimated Build time from the yard?
16-20 months depending on the model
@@NautiGuys if Victoria keeps adding on to it it may be 3 years. And 10 ft longer. They'll have to cut the hull and add 10 feet to it. I'll bet it will be amazing though. Maybe a reversible escalator. "The people want what the people want".
@@NautiGuys Hey, I have seen you (and others) feature boats with accessibility considerations. I’m wondering if we will see more companies adding lifts and elevators etc. to their layouts. Some of these boats have four or five separate staircases and I kind of scratch my head and wonder why they don’t just put a central elevator behind the pilot house, forward of the typical galley location that services each deck. 🤷🏻♂️
Too cool!
When this yacht is completed, it's going to be like the tents in the Harry Potter Movies. Normal size on the outside and unbelievably huge and spacious on the inside. This thing is going to be amazing. I can't wait for the finished product.
Everyone give Nautiguys their props because they have created a unique content channel where they are kindly taking us along on their journey. Showing us the entire process of buying and designing their dream. Add Bering to the mix, and it's like the perfect marriage (or should I say "extra marriage", lol). A great couple with a great Yacht Building team!
We can’t wait either 🙏💙
Best video so far as it's so informative thanks so much for documenting this for us! Definitely isn't easy with all the choices
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Job! Can't wait to see the final layouts.
very soon….😉
She says "Never say No",Alex has got a great team. Kudos Alex n your team.
Hi, big fan for long time.. exited about your new boat ! :) u ignited new passion for me - boats :)
A boat is like a house, so as an architect, I would suggest not to sacrifice back salone sliding doors, couse u will lose a lot of visual "space", and back view when sitting on sofa (and same in cockpit view to the salone). I would even sugest to make them open 100%, to connect salone and cockpit, then u can put a very big table for big events there.
I'm sure there's a lot of space for storage in this big boat ;)
Also, dont block stairs, keep them as open as possible, they should be like piece of art sculpture in any interior ! :)
I suggest dont copy same function spaces, I understand there could be 8 guests + crew, but make every space unique ! u dont have to be able to eat at every table in every space. maybe even dont do 2 kitchens, couse your guests will travel with glasses even plates in hands, and between 2 of them will be a mess :D The small kitchen will be uncomfortable to work in :/ it will get bigger and bigger until u will see u have 2 kitchens :/ leave it as a bar only maybe, with easy to move furniture IMO.
In flybridge u even could have inflatable/ movable "jaccuzzi", off course also ability of a dance floor for DJ :), so furniture should be easy (re)movable.
I envy you so much :) how about we will be your 1st guests when u start in Mediterranean? :D
Awww we are happy that we inspired you 💙🙏
Really enjoy watching your progress on this amazing build, thanks for sharing the insights
Thanks for watching!
If i was a kid id prefer a full bunk bed above me for the privacy aspects. Put some curtains around it and you have your own mini room. As its likely that you will be in the room with siblings not friends.
You forgot the cover for the Crain and the music deck. Love the idea of personalised water bottles perhaps with the yachts logo.
We need a bigger boat!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Aweome vid! 100% your doing your content correctly!!! This is so huge for you two...Thank you for putting together a great vid that lets us be apart!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
When you plan out your galley, do you spend time with a superyacht chef to figure out what you need for the wow factor to be included to give your charter guests the very best possible choices or do you make you decisions entirely on your comfort zone and budget? Some people are up for the challenge you have undertaken, I am not one of them so I get to live through you vicariously without any of the stress involved😀😀 I am so very much looking forward to the next installment of your series.
I did not see you talk about top that Rico asked about to be fitted on top of the upper crane. So he could use it as a DJ location. But you did bring up the two orange chairs so points for that. You may wish to talk to them about that soon because they would also need to have some power wired to plug in the equipment.
don't worry, it's taken care of... we just can't film everything 🙈😝
You could have food tray plate warmers in-built, in the kitchen. Or, portable food tray plate warmers.
This allows more plates on kitchen countertops, for the chef to put more food there. Otherwise, plates start to get in the way of more food being prepared in the kitchen
-Mike
Can we do it, "Of course." I am still smiling! Realizing a dream and hearing the words, "of course."
🙈😝😝 seriously well put!
Starlink Internet Services should be ready for your new vessel.
Lucky you.
I am so thrilled that Rico took on my suggestion of having some orange accent pieces! Go Rico!
😝🙈 😂
Wow! So many things to think about, not only what appliances, but they have to be USA standard electric. I’m sure you feel a little overwhelmed right now, but it will come together. I bet you wake up in the middle of the night and write things down. So exciting, but also a little stressful.
A truly amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing.
Our pleasure!
You need that thing. In a while you will also need a Jolly Jumper. On a monohull if you set it up properly it can be a baby inclinometer (baby stays level and the boat moves around her). Depression is normal. At this point Delos, La Vag, and several other sailing channels are a year or more in front of you in baby management on boats. Use those resources (you could even set up a boat mama discord channel or something). Babies are poop machines. You put food in the top and get poop out of the bottom. If you put too much food in, the system will back up and come back at you. A by product in the production of poop is gas. Gas will come out of both ends (sometimes at the same time). Much like a composting toilet that has the handle that mixes the compost, movement aides in the production of poop and gas. I would like to tell you it will get easier. My youngest is 26 the oldest is 40, It gets easier somewhere in between those two numbers.
Great job with showing them and inspiring them what the skyline offerers!!
WOW! Rico actually has a top to his head! We're all so used to seeing him in a hat
😂😂😂😂
Why am I so excited!!!!????
😝🙌🏻🥳
Hey, I think if you turned the side elevation drawing sheet into a poster that would probably sell pretty well in the merch store.
You need a bigger boat! 😂Great video - thanks for that!
Yes you do 🤣
I am SO EXCITED for you two! I can’t wait to see the your new yacht and I’m really wondering what you’ll name her! (It is a her, right? I thought all ships are female, some old naval superstition or something like that) I’m guessing “Nauti”. For obvious reasons!
it's definitely a SHE 😝🙈
@@NautiGuys and I can see that inside and out she is a beauty, just like her owners! God bless you and may she bring you years of happiness and prosperity!
Bering looks like great choice. The 65' would be up my Alley. Great range for a big Yacht, with fuel prices.
Saida and Kristina are Turkish cuties
So much fun and knowledge at the same time. Love this adventure your are sharing with us.🤗
So glad!
I like that Vic killed the big table, that space will look more open and casual with her idea for the seating. Also Agree Rico's two orange chairs are a must.
Sounds like Bering is the Cadillac of the yachts in that size range. They are very well constructed and way ahead of all competitors. Leading the way to top quality built vessels.
@S. M. who are you viki or riko......
@janez kovac for the record @S. M. is not working for us, he is a very nice Sub and we don't need to create "fake" accounts to tell you to troll along... you are harassing so many people in our comments on both channels that even YT is flagging you over and over...move on if you don't like it... we are starting to think someone has actually hired your to troll... No? you are spreading hate for free?? how sad 🤷♀️😂
Pretty much redesigns the whole boat 😂
When great minds gather - changes are eminent. Nice video. Thank you all.
Yes! Thank you!
I'm loving watching your new build.
By far, the best innovation you have ever showcased on your channel was the Greenline ocean class 68 hybrid propulsion.
Did you contemplate using something like that as Ricco was so impressed by it.
Yes, unfortunately it’s not possible on the size of our boat yet, we don’t have enough space for a such a large power bank and and it’s VERY expensive
Dinning room table idea. Do a duel swivel elongated table that splits apart. So you have a table for the men and a table for the woman or you swivel back together for one elongated table. One end has a 1’ folds up that allows for the swivel.
Can you make a video explaining how you go about financing/affording this project? No personal information, just an overview of what it takes to get the financing (like how much you need to bring yourself etc), what are your assumptions around charter revenues etc. Basically I’m curious to know more about the business model/case you build on.
