Reviva Refit announces relaunch of Bering motor yacht B121 after six-month, intensive refurbishment project

The esteemed Turkish shipyard, Mengi Yay, through its refurbishment division Reviva Refit, has recently made waves in the yachting world by officially unveiling the impressively refitted 37.4-metre Bering motor yacht B121. Deemed Project R16, the comprehensive refit kicked off with its establishment in October 2025 and took around half a year to achieve its slated April launch. This revamp was not simply a cosmetic revamp, rather it aimed for a total structural and functional makeover, according to the team at the shipyard. A primary modification was the implementation of a two-metre hull extension. This significant procedure saw the yacht almost bisected at midship, a bold move aimed at enhancing operational capabilities whilst injecting stability and improved seakeeping prowess into the vessel. Further rebirth was given to the yacht’s beach club. Once a leisure zone graced with a sauna and gym, the space has been reincarnated into a garage designed for storage and easy access to one large tender and a couple of jet skis. Additionally, a new petrol storage area was developed following RINA Commercial Unrestricted Navigation class rules. The ceiling crane and shell door system also experienced alterations, with a fresh starboard-side shell door and an overhead lifting solution chipping in for more efficient handling of tenders and ’toys’. The refurbishment was rounded out by a classy upper deck staircase and, not to be missed, a fresh coat of paint adorning B121’s exterior. The shipyard took immense pride in the successful venture, stating ‘Not many yards in the world can execute a project of this nature — structural, regulatory and mechanical — under one roof, on one timeline’. B121, originally launched in 2024 by Bering Yachts, is scheduled for imminent delivery, signalling a successful completion of one of the most ambitiously sophisticated superyacht conversion projects undertaken in Turkey so far, and adding another feather in the cap of the Mengi Yay shipyard.
