Bering Yachts has introduced its newest addition to the fleet, the M/Y B76 Lemanja, which has been designed as a blue-water exploration vessel for long voyages.

Bering Yachts' President, Alexei Mikhailov, explains, "Our client was looking for a tough, go-anywhere explorer yacht with an oceanic range, which would also be stable, safe, and quiet. The noise protection on this vessel is exceptional, same for other requirements. Welcome onboard if you like absolute comfort. This is what Bering does best."
