Papillon 超级游艇

Two stabilisation systems, gyroscopic and hydraulic, work together to keep Papillon steady at anchor and under way, the kind of engineering an explorer yacht needs for long passages rather than short coastal hops. Bering built her as a Bering 92 in 2022 on a steel hull, designed from the outset for extended cruising rather than day trips. She is offered for sale through Boatcrowd from her berth in Antalya.

Build and provenance

She is a long-range explorer yacht on a steel monohull, 28 metres in length and 92 feet by American convention, built for comfort and stability rather than outright speed. Her interior carries a classic scheme of dark wood joinery with blue and white accents, and her owner's suite is sized for the long stays an explorer yacht is designed for.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, and a crew of four looks after them, a ratio built for the kind of multi-week expedition an explorer yacht is meant for rather than a long weekend.

Performance and engineering

Twin 610 hp Cummins QSM-11 engines give Papillon a 10-knot cruise and a 13-knot top speed, figures that belong to a boat built to cover distance steadily rather than arrive quickly. A 1.8-metre draft and a 6.7-metre beam keep her out of the shallowest anchorages while adding the stability an explorer hull needs offshore. A seven-person tender and a kit of paddleboards, a kayak, snorkel gear and a wakeboard cover what happens once she is anchored.

Where she lies and how to see her

Papillon lies in Antalya, Turkey. Boatcrowd sets up viewings there and is present for them, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before handover. She also sails in our charter fleet, so a buyer can book a week aboard before deciding to buy.
