Does YF Cover Bering Yachts?

Ouch..
You meant well and you did a great and charming job, all good.
So, what should I consider for my next Bahamas sled? A low hour Tiara with a good quality build a lots of space in the engine compartment to service the engines and the systems?
(Nordhaven prolly too slow and too expensive for a long Bimini weekend or 3 weeks in the Exumas, something quick, easy and high quality like the owner..? )

I guess NautiStyles never read the Bering threads on YachtForums...

Word is NautiStyles (Angelas) will need to remove the vessel from Bering's yard and have it completed elsewhere. Incompetence is mostly to blame on both ends of this deal. The woman behind NautiStyles is a wannabe actress from Russia. She uses flirty clothing to illicit clicks on YouTube. She and her husband have no real maritime knowledge but found a following on YT by simply walking thru boats. The boat builder and the actress are both of Russian descent so there should have been no barrier between dialects, yet she still ended up in court with him and now has an unfinished boat after multiple delays. She only had to look at the number of aliases he operates under to get a glimpse into things to come.

This is why YF doesn't cover Bering Yachts.

The real perpetrator here is YouTube. Bering used a group of talented Russian hackers from the homeland to put them on top of yachting related keywords in Google, including the keyword: YachtForums. Later they turned their efforts to YouTube and exploited Google's algorithm, putting Bering into many user feeds which in essence lent credibility where it never belonged.

The hubby, Rico I believe, does represent he is a captain with delivery chops. More into sales as far as I could ever tell. They are photogenic and enthusiastic for sure.
How many yards and YouTubers have now gone sideways. It seems NautiSyles and Bering.

The O'kellys and Outremer
The Sailing Ruby Rose and Seawind Cats
The Wynns and HH cats

Seems like the cruising catamaran yards filled their order books with relations with popular YouTubers pumping up new designs and following the builds and then the relationship goes south. I wonder how many Bering orders are related to the NautiStyle relationship?

Is it all just a grift? Let's get together and pretend we are building your dream boat and all your followers will put in orders. I don't know.

They were angling hard to GLY
/Outremer, it seemed, to get some sort of relationship going. Outremer needed a boat at Miami for the show ASAP. They joined with the Okellys as a delivery couple. She contracted SARS Cov2 and was out. He decided to go with a seasoned Outremer captain. He seemed to be slighted by the fact that they put their captain on the delivery. One thing led to another and they kicked him off the boat in the Caribbean before the final push to Miami. This was a new Outremer 52.

they have been couch and other people’s boat surfer since.

It seemed they are not willing able to pay for the boat they profess to need and want.

I showed my Mother in Law one episode, she knew nothing about YouTube or Outremer or really sailing for that matter, when it finished she looked at me and said those people are con artists, grifters if you will.

I represented Grand Large Yachting on their Le Trawler. See: https://www.yachtforums.com/review/garcia-yachtings-gt54-le-trawler.19723/

I met the GLY principals in France and then later at the Annapolis Boat Show, FLIBS, and MBS. The 2 owners and their managers were all honorable, knowledgable, and so easy to work with. Not only did they build fine boats (Garcia, Outremer..), but they were great people to work with. When I lost Le Trawler, I also lost my representation with them and I knew I would miss the association. While there might be two sides to an issue, I would blindly take the side of GLY any day.

Glad to hear, I have been super impressed with GLY’s level of owner support after the sale. They go to amazing lengths to help out owners. I know of one Outremer cat that had a ferry rip off their carbon fiber longeron at the wee hours of the morning. GLY dispatched a crew of shipwrights and the temporary FRG replacement that week.

They also put on some amazing Round The World and other rallies for owners.

yes, Outremer, Garcia, Allures, RM and Gunboat are in good shape with that leadership.

You are right about that, not to mention that boat is now sold and that couple is building Otremer's newest largest Cat, maybe 60" LOA? They are likely to be on the "let's take good care of this couple" list.

There are yards with reputations of quality after sale care.
Outremer, and really GLY in general.

I hang is the sailboat world mostly, I wonder who in the Motor yachts world has similar reputation?
