“A galley designed without a yacht chefs input is like building a Formula 1 race car when you
only know how to ride a bicycle, while never consulting the race car driver.”
Approximately 80% of yachts in the industry, regardless of size or shipyard, have the galleys
built without a chef’s input. This oversight drives inefficiencies which negatively impact the guest
experience and usually result in costly galley refits at the earliest opportunity. I am here to
ensure it meets your vision of outstanding food and impeccable service for you and your guests.
My name is Brennan Dates, I’ve been a Head Chef on superyachts for 22 years, working with
the most dynamic and far-reaching charter programs in the industry. I now design galleys on
some of the world’s largest superyachts in the world.
While working in these multi-million-dollar galleys, I realized that even the leading programs
lacked professional insight regarding the design of the service areas during the planning phases
of new builds or refits. Galleys are often seen as cost centers, while the opposite is true. They
are the profit centers. by having an excellent design upfront, we will make a huge difference in
the bottom line results. This is where I come in, Let’s collaborate and create a galley that
surpasses your expectations, delivering an exceptional culinary experience for you and your
guests while being cost-effective from the beginning.
