SuperYacht Life Interview
| A life together at sea
The couple behind hit yachting YouTube channel NautiStyles talk about turning their passion into their trade.
Victoria Chalaya and Rico Stoll have always been boat people. But if you’d told them a decade ago that they were going to become YouTube sensations with over half a million subscribers to their yachting channels they probably wouldn’t have believed you.

And yet here they are – YouTube sensations with an explorer yacht currently in build... READ MORE

With great pleasure, Bering Yachts has notified one of our customers about the project name change. Their much-touted B75 just became a B82… over the phone. Alexei Mikhailov called the NautiGuys during the filming of a recent episode and let them know that Bering Yachts has decided to do justice and rename B75 to B82 to reflect the new boat’s gross tonnage better.
You really cannot measure Bering by length; you have got to measure it by GT, and this is exactly what happened. Otherwise, everything else remains the same. The name changed, but the size did not.

Bering Yachts | The Yacht of Their Dreams
Eight years into their yacht-owning experience, NautiStyles decided to build a boat on their own. Yacht and nautical lifestyle enthusiasts, licensed captains, and marine bloggers with more than 265,000 subscribers of their YouTube NautiStyles channel, these guys know it all about luxury, safety, and comfort. After considering (literally!) hundreds of options, they chose Bering 75.
Bering Yachts founder and president Alexei Mikhailov received a call from NautiStyles early spring morning. Phoning from Dubai, the couple informed Alexei that their choice was firm and final – they want a real steel explorer yacht they have been dreaming about for quite a while. They came to the Antalya shipyard, and, after quite long and in-depth discussions with Alexei and the Bering team, the contract was signed. Due to the high demand, it took several months to lay the keel, but when the time came the happy future owners had a time of their life welding a coin into the hull... READ MORE
