Italian term or phrase: portandosi al largo di
Contexto:

Partito da Saint Petersburg, dopo un lungo viaggio attraverso la Siberia, Bering raggiunse il porto di Okhotsk e nell'estate del 1728 partì a bordo della nave Saint Gabriel, che era stata costruita sul posto. Navigò lungo costa orientale della Kamchatka e, portandosi al largo del Golfo dell'Anadyr, scoprì l'isola di Saint Lawrence.

English translation:directed offshore of the Gulf of Anadyr
Explanation:
You have "sailed" in the previous part of the sentence, so I would use a verb like "direct". Good luck - this seems like a looong book!

agree  Rosanna Palermo: I would drop the "directed". It's redundant.

It may be useful to have a look at a map of the region. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Anadyr . It is worth noting that Saint Lawrence Island is outside the Gulf of Anadyr.
