For Sale: 2015 Bering 65' Trawler

  1. 'Serge' is hull number 2 in the Berings’s 65-foot expedition range and is ideally suited for long-range cruising in open waters. Designed with an all-steel displacement hull and twin Cummins QSL engines, the Bering 65 'Serge' has an estimated range of 5,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 6 to 7 knots.  Serge also features a raised pilothouse and includes three spacious staterooms, each with its own private ensuite head, and crew quarters for two.
  2. This Bering 65 glides through the water in a straight line and carries her momentum effortlessly. She is amazingly quiet and vibration free. The twin skegs incorporate the low mounted engines for efficient performance underway.   The steering is surprisingly responsive, finger touch balance that it virtually unheard of. Underway and at anchor she is a pleasure to spend time on, whether relaxing in the saloon – reading a book or watching television during dinner.
  3. Serge has a generous swim platform with two outboard stairways up to her raised aft deck that is protected by the boat deck over hang. There is cockpit seating facing aft to enjoy the view. The upper aft deck “cockpit” is a great outdoor space with chairs and a high off the water view. Forward to port there is a build in adder that leads up to the boat deck. The main deck connects the cockpit to the foredeck by wide covered side decks port and starboard.  
  4. Captaining Serge is incredibly easy. The helm is light to the touch and the visibility is astounding. You have a clear view of the outside world (while enjoying the comfort and protection of being inside the pilothouse) and equally as important you can easily do a visual check on all of the yachts electronics, electrical breakers and machinery control panels. The electrical panels are easy to reach with clearly labeled breakers and easy to read digital displays. Bering’s attention to sound attenuation is perhaps best on display in the pilothouse with an incredibly low reading of 50 dB when underway at 1,200 rpm.
  5. The flybridge is very large and a wonderful place to operate the boat from. It has a fiberglass hard top that provides shade and protection from the elements.The dinghy and outboard are mounted on the boat deck on the same level as the flybridge.
  6. This is a large full beam flybridge with all of the necessary controls and impressive visibility. The flybridge has a fiberglass hard top. The seating up here is spectacular and the forward port section makes into a very large bed for sleeping outside at night when enjoying a balmy anchorage
  7. The raised aft deck cockpit is a great place to relax when at anchor. The boat deck above covers the entire area so you are shaded from the sun and protected from rain.There is a built in stairwell forward to port that leads to the boat deck / flybridge from the cockpit. The teak deck are impressive. Aft station for fishing with emergency fire pump.
  8. The Bering 65 is very protected when moving about on deck. The foredeck and boat deck feature appropriately sized railings with a robust stainless steel railing all around. The Bering 65 profile is by design very high off the water keeping sea water and waves mostly off the deck. The upper aft deck/cockpit is well above the waterline and has a covered overhead by the large extended boat deck. This cockpit area is a great place to relax when docked or at anchor.
  9. Whether you arrive by tender or step from a dock to the swim platform this is a very well thought out aft section. The stern swim platform includes U rail staples a swim ladder as well as two outboard stairs that connect to the raised aft deck/cockpit area. There are aft deck boarding doors to port and starboard. For arriving by dinghy or for entering the water for SCUBA diving this is a true platform just above the water that is very spacious and easy to move around.
  10. One of the best exterior areas aboard is the foredeck. This is a wonderful seating area with comfortable forward facing cushioned seats all well protected above the water. The forward anchor and ground tackle area is raised with easy access to both chain locker compartments. You can get to the foredeck by going forward along either side deck. Forward of the Portuguese bridge is a built in seating area with storage underneath. The windlass and anchor rollers are all the way forward on a raised anchor platform that has Freeman hatches on top to access the chain.
  11. Moving around on deck is easy, safe and secure. The side coamings are up high and have rails mounted atop. The walkways are wide for each transitioning forward and aft. The side decks surrounding the salon and wheelhouse are covered overhead from the cockpit up to the pilothouse and are wide with good height railing for easy access fore and aft.
  12. The operations center of Bering 65 is the forward wheel house where you are well above the water and protected by the Portuguese bridge that fronts it. The reverse raked windows are all commercial strength and quality. The forward dash cabinetry is black to reduce glare and provides a very professional arrangement. There are two Dutch doors (port and starboard) that lead outside to the covered side decks. The captain enjoys a custom Llebroc helm chair and behind the helm area is a nice settee bench fronted by a fixed table, where captain and crew can enjoy lunch or just relax while having a cup of coffee. The settee includes stowage underneath. The dash controls have been logically organized to utilize the ships Nav/Com electronics. On the flat horizontal dash the main engine dual lever controls are easy to reach, as are the proportional controls for the bow and stern thruster. Since Serge was outfitted for long range cruising, the navigation and communications equipment is extensive as should be expected.
  13. The galley is forward and above the saloon and features lots of storage space in lockers and drawers. The Corian counter tops provide an expansive surface for meal preparation. There is a large basin stainless sink with a garbage disposal. The forward area of the galley features an electric partition to close off the pilothouse, or open up this area into one large connecting room.
  14. Up in the galley you have all of the cooking appliances and refrigeration you need for extended passages offshore. The galley is a wonderful place to prepare meals and has a forward divider that opens up to connect visually with the pilothouse. The galley has portlights outboard and looks down to the saloon. Forward the galley opens up to the pilothouse. When running after dark you can raise the partition and close the pocket door to isolate the galley from the pilothouse to preserve night vision in the helm area.

  17. The full beam master stateroom is all the way forward. It features a large king sized island berth running fore and aft for maximum comfort while underway (and it is an ideal arrangement for getting in and out of bed without being hemmed in).
