Beyond Capricorn

A tri-deck profile on a twenty-four-metre hull is an explorer-yacht signature, and it is what gives Beyond Capricorn the presence of something built several metres longer. Bering delivered her in 2017, and a refit recorded in 2026 has kept her current since. She lies in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Build and provenance

Sabdes Design drew her exterior lines, and Bering finished the interior itself in a traditional, varnished style that suits an explorer built for distance rather than dockside display. Her hull is steel, on a boat rated at 147 gross tonnes across 78 feet overall. The 2026 refit sits on her build sheet nine years after that original 2017 delivery; how far the work reached is not recorded on the sheet, only that it happened.

Layout and accommodation

Four staterooms take up to nine guests, including a master suite and a VIP cabin, with a crew of four looking after them. The captain's cabin sits beside the wheelhouse, a placement built for long passages rather than short hops between anchorages.

Performance and engineering

Twin 350hp Cummins engines carry her at a 9-knot cruise and up to 12 knots flat out, speeds suited to range rather than sprint. Two 40kW generators and a 14kW back-up keep her systems running at anchor, and stabilisers work both at anchor and underway, so a long stop off an island stays steady. A 5,000-nautical-mile range is the figure that matters most on an explorer: it is the difference between a coastal season and a genuine ocean crossing.

On deck and at anchor

A hot tub, WiFi and air conditioning are aboard, modern comforts layered onto an otherwise rugged explorer brief.

Where she lies and how to see her

Beyond Capricorn lies in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We set up a viewing and are there for it, and once an offer is accepted the survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands.
