'BG' feadship Superyacht

This 33-year-old superyacht ‘BG’ comes from the world-renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship and features their classic exterior lines. She was built back in 1990 at their De Vries shipyard in the Netherlands and has since undergone refits in 2015 and 2022. She has a length of 46.9m, a beam of 8.8m and she sits in the water with a 2.9m draft.  

This world cruiser has a steel mono hull, topped by an aluminium superstructure. Her design and naval architecture is the work of award-winning Frits De Voogt. With a gross tonnage of 515, she is propelled through the water by her twin CAT 3508 DITA diesel engines (905 hp each) at a top speed of 15 knots. When cruising at 12 knots she has a max range of 5000 nautical miles with a fuel capacity of 69,800 litres. 

Her interior design was the work of New York based McMillen Design, and her later reconfiguration is courtesy of Toronto based Dee Dee Taylor Eustace, founder of Taylor Hannah Architect Inc. She features high-end finishes in dark woods contrasted against refreshing bright whites, creating a beach house vibe that’s straight out of the Hamptons.  

BG can accommodate 12 guests in 6 spacious luxury cabins. The Master cabin and VIP cabin are full beam and are situated on the main deck. The 4 guest cabins are situated on the lower deck. All cabins have en suite bathrooms. She also has accommodation for 11 experienced crew members. 

In amongst the meticulous craftsmanship, notable state-of-the-art amenities include an outdoor deck jacuzzi, a gym, outdoor projector screen, a hydraulic swim platform, plus an exquisite wine cellar in the salon containing 120 bottles.  

    BG boasts a plethora of water toys to entertain guests of all ages. She offers 2x Yamaha jet skis, waterskis, inflatable climbing wall and waterslides, paddleboards, kneeboards and wakeboards, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, plus 4x F5 seabobs. She also has 2 tenders on board; a 9.8m Intrepid Tender and a 5.5m Novurania Tender. 

BG was previously named Charade. She is Feadship’s 110th-largest yacht, and she is the 1181st-largest yacht in the world. In 2016 she was a finalist in The World Superyacht Awards for ‘best refitted/rebuilt yacht’. Not only that, but she is a TV star after appearing in several seasons of Below Deck where she was named Valor for the show. 

BG stands for the owner's initials; Bobby Genovese, a Canadian self-made businessman. The entrepreneur is the founder of BG Capital Management Corporation, BG Signature, and BG Capital Group Ltd. Back in 2014, the motor yacht was purchased for 11,990,000 USD. Then in 2022, the motor yacht was for sale with an asking price of 16,900,000 USD. She has since arrived at the prestigious marina at Sentosa Cove, Singapore, where she moors outside the distinguished ONE°15 yacht club.

Written by Rachael Steele

Luxury yacht BG , known as VALOR on the Below Deck Series , might be the most recognisable vessel from the Below Deck series as she featured in not one but three series. Memorable moments onboard include a salad ‘nightmare’, a back waxing and a medical scare to go along with plenty of partying on board.  Motor yacht BG was built by renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship in 1990, and of course, received an extensive refit in 2015 before filming took place on board from 2016 onwards. Today, charter guests can expect the same gorgeous interiors, lavish outdoor areas and an impressive selection of water toys.

The Interiors

The camera-ready interiors from Taylor Hannah Architect are glamorous and easy-going at the same time, using a monochrome palette for a clean environment where the sense of light and space is emphasised. The formal dining area immediately draws in the with its glass chandelier and 120 bottle wine cellar creating ambient surroundings along with the rosewood table.

The main salon has plenty of plush seating along the port side for the whole group to gather for conversation and an aperitif before a meal, with a top-quality 47″ TV to entertain little ones while the expert chef prepares dinner. For top-notch entertainment, the sky lounge has a relaxed cinema setup with a wall-mounted 75″ widescreen TV and two L-shaped sofas for cosy group gatherings with friends and family.

Spacious and inviting saloon

The Exteriors

Life on the water is all about connecting with the sea and the surroundings, and luxury yacht BG gives guests plenty of reason to leave behind the air-conditioned salons for the outdoor life.

The main deck aft is a convenient space to rest in the shade with quick access to the tender and water toys the moment they are ready.

The upper deck aft is the main outdoor living area and will see much use throughout the charter thanks to its large alfresco dining table and abundance of seating and sun loungers. The area can be shaded for all-day outdoor use and is the perfect place to return to and nap after taking the water slide or the climbing wall over the edge. Side walkways will take guests around to the Portuguese deck in front of the bridge, where there is a row of sunbeds with panoramic views.

Guests looking for the Jacuzzi will find it on the sundeck aft, a tranquil environment compared to the social hub below. The sunbeds forward allow guests to rest together in privacy, with sweeping views of the surrounding scenery.

Master Suite

The Accommodation

The crisp and cool accommodation sleeps a total of 12 guests across 6 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 1 VIP stateroom, 2 double cabins and 2 twin cabins convertible to doubles.

The main deck master suite is a treat for the main charter guests and is ideal for honeymooners who relish their privacy: In addition to a king-sized bed, there is a plush sofa, TV entertainment, a desk/vanity to get ready for the next glamorous occasion, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and two-person shower.

The VIP stateroom is adjacent to the Master suite and boasts its own king-sized bed, TV entertainment and armchairs to rest weary feet in complete comfort.

The rest of the guest cabins are placed on the lower deck, and two can be converted from doubles to twins to accommodate any children in the group.

The Water Toys

Superyacht BG has a large selection of water toys on board to suit adrenaline seekers and loungers alike, and the collection includes:

• 2 x 2-seater Yamaha jet skis
• 4 x Seabobs
• 2 x 2-seater kayaks
• 2 x paddleboards
• 1 x wakeboard
• 1 x kneeboard
• a water slide
• snorkelling equipment
• an inflatable climbing wall

There is also a gym for guests to maintain a workout while cruising and wear off excess energy before a comfortable night’s rest.

Valor Yacht Uncovered: The Inside Scoop on Design & Features

Few yachts have had such a whirlwind of existence as the Valor, which had been around the block once or twice. The yacht was built in 1990 by Feadship yacht builders and was designed by De Voogt Naval Architecture. She has a steel hull over an aluminum superstructure.

The interior design was handled by McMillen Design. Since its launch in 1990, it has undergone name changes, owner changes, and a reasonably prolific run as one of the yachts featured on the popular series Below Deck, which appeared in seasons 4, 5, and 7.

After the 2015 refit, the yacht got a Hampton Beach House-themed interior styled by Taylor Hannah Architect. However, the 2021 refit made further changes to the interior as well. 

Who Owns the Valor Yacht?

Originally the yacht known as Valor was owned by Microsoft Paul Allen, who is no stranger to yachts and also owned the yacht known as Octopus . However, Allen would later gift the Valor to his sister Jodi Allen. From Allen, it changed hands again to its current owner Bobby Genovese, BG Capital Group’s founder and CEO. 

Genovese repurchased the yacht in 2014 and had her refitted in 2015. It looks like she may have also undergone a second refit in 2021.

How Many Names Had the Valor Yacht Had?

So here’s the weird thing about the Valor. It’s not called the Valor, and technically never was. Confusing, right? When the yacht was commissioned in 1990, it was known as the Charade. That seems to be the name it held when Jodi Allen took over ownership from her brother.

Fast forward to 2014, and Bobby Genovese takes ownership. What did he name it? BG. So where did Valor come from? It’s an alias. On the show Below Deck, they often make up fake names for the yachts that appear. Like an actor taking a role, a real yacht plays a fake one on the show, possibly to hide any identifying features about the vessel in case people are trying to track it and interfere with filming. Other yachts like My Seanna did the same thing (that one was called Starship).

So, technically, it was never the Valor, but that is still how fans of the show would recognize it. In real life, it changed from Charade to its current name, BG.

How Big is the Valor Yacht/Yacht BG?

The BG measures in at 153 ’10”, which makes her a large yacht for sure, but quite a ways away from the largest yachts in the world . In terms of width, she has a beam of 28′ 11″ and a draft of 9′ 6″. Her gross tonnage is just 515 GT.

How Much Did Motor Yacht BG Cost?

Details on what Paul Allen may have spent back in 1990 are pretty hard to come by, so it’s hard to say what the yacht cost when it was built initially. Her current value has been estimated at between $15 million and $16 million. It’s also believed that the yacht has an annual running cost of around $2 million. 

Can You Charter Yacht BG?

The yacht Valor/BG is available for charter for those who want to taste the luxury yacht life one week at a time. Charter prices vary based on the time of year, and winter prices are always cheaper than summer ones. A week on the BG in the winter will set you back about $155,000 US plus expenses. In the summer, that will go up to $168,000 per week. This difference is pretty standard for most charter yachts. Yacht owners need to make their money back for operating costs, and the more in demand a yacht is during the charter season, the more crew members expect to get paid, and so on.

How Fast is the Yacht BG and What Engines Does It Use?

Powered by twin 905 hp Caterpillar 3508 DITA d diesel engines, the BG can cruise at 13 knots and reach 15 knots. With her 70,000-liter fuel tank, she has a range of about 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed. 

What’s the Interior of the Valor Yacht/BG Yacht Like?

Because the Valor/BG was so heavily featured on Below Deck and is now a charter yacht, there have been lots of looks inside the yacht to show it off over the years. 

Regarding accommodations for charter guests, the Valor has room for 12 guests in 6 suites. This includes a master suite on the main deck, one VIP cabin, two double cabins, and two cabins that can operate as twins or doubles. There are eight beds, including two kings and two queens. There’s also room on board for a crew of 10.

The master suite is a full beam with walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom even features a two-person shower.

Outside of rooms, there are many other features and amenities to enjoy. After the 2021 refit, owner Bobby Genovese said, “Everything that could have been done to the boat has been done.” That included new paint, new toys, and upgraded technology throughout.

The new look includes a lot of soft and clean design touches. White is used extensively throughout, as well as light gray tones. This is contrasted with darker wood to give a clean and modern look. Overall, the aesthetic throughout the cabins and living spaces is minimalist, without too many overt touches of any particular style that some may find off-putting. It has the look of a modern hotel in many ways, providing that feeling of a luxury getaway from the usual, everyday sense of being at home, for instance.

Symmetry was also a big part of the interior design. Precise and easily navigated angles and layouts made getting around the yacht easy for guests and crew alike. This includes the layout of fixtures and furniture so that everything is streamlined with no surprises and a natural, intuitive design. 

Where Can I Find the Valor Yacht’s Deck Plan?

If you want an up close and personal view of the deck plan, you can check it out here with a detailed picture of the yacht’s four decks. 

Features and Amenities

Like any suitable yacht, especially a yacht charter, the Valor has toys and amenities to entice people to spend those big bucks and enjoy a week at sea. Look at some of the most exciting features you’ll find on board.

• The BG has a large gym with a wide array of the latest equipment to enhance a workout routine
• For something more relaxing, there’s a large deck Jacuzzi as well
• A hydraulic swim platform
• A massive wine selection in the main salon
• Tons of upgraded tech amenities include satellite TV, sat phones, and the latest gaming systems
• A deck theater for movie nights located on the sprawling aft deck that is also suitable for al fresco dining, parties, and just lounging

The BG has a lot of water toys for a yacht of its size to ensure that guests are having fun on the water.

• A massive, inflatable water slide 
• For those who don’t want to stay wet, there’s also an inflatable climbing wall
• Equipment for snorkeling
• A pair of 2-seat Yamaha Jet-Skis
• A pair of 2-person kayaks
• Four F5 Seabobs
• A kneeboard
• A wakeboard and other towables
• A pair of stand-up paddle boards
• A 32′ 2″ Intrepid Tender
• An 18’1” Novurania Tender 

The Bottom Line

The yacht Valor was only known by that name on the Show Below Deck. In real life, it started as the Charade after it was built in 1990 and was renamed BG, a name that it still holds as a charter yacht. 

Bobby Genovese owns the BG and measures 153 ’10”. It can accommodate 12 guests and features many amenities, including a giant inflatable water slide, a deck jacuzzi, and an aft deck cinema. The yacht is worth around $15 million, and a charter will cost you between $155,000 per week and $162,000, depending on season and availability. 

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

Who Pays for the Below Deck Yacht? We Finally Have the Answer

The memories may be priceless, but the charters aren't.

A vacation doesn't get more luxurious than the getaways we see on Below Deck , Below Deck Mediterranean , and Below Deck Sailing Yacht . These vessels cruise around the most breathtaking locations in the world, letting the guests experience everything the diverse cultures have to offer, all while the crew fulfills their every wish and whim.

How to Watch

Watch  Below Deck on Bravo Mondays at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo App .

This kind of luxury definitely doesn't look cheap — and it isn't, with the charter guests paying for everything, including that stack of cash they hand over to the captain to tip the crew, as Mark Cronin, who has been an executive producer on every season of Below Deck , Below Deck Med , and Below Deck Sailing Yacht confirmed to The Daily Dish during an interview last month. “They spend their real money to be on the show," he explained. "And then the tip they leave, they decide what it is."

Below Deck Producers Spill Behind-the-Scenes Secrets

It sounds like chartering the Below Deck yacht has been totally worth it for the charter guests who have appeared on the show, according to Courtland Cox, who has also served as executive producer on every season of Below Deck and Below Deck Med .

“They’re not people that are coming on because they feel like this is a good chance for them to get on TV. This is a great experience for them to charter a very large yacht with a very experienced and fun crew and have an amazing three-day charter in an amazing location,” he told The Daily Dish last month. “I want them to enjoy their charter and not be afraid to ask for things if they want. And I think that at the end of their charters, like, every charter guest we’ve had has said this has been an amazing experience.”

Watch the Valor crew dish on some of this season's most memorable charter guests in the Below Deck Season 7 After Show , above.

VIDEO: Take A Tour Of Below Deck Season 4 Yacht VALOR

• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   14 September 2016

Premiering on 6th September, Below Deck Season 4 got off to a predictably stellar start, with fans voicing their excitement across all forms of social media. To prepare for the next episode, we take a guided tour of the starring superyacht VALOR.

Whilst official viewing figures are yet to be released for the premiere of Below Deck Season 4, season 3 amassed an incredible 1.6 million to become the highest-rated season premiere on Bravo since the reality show began back in 2013.

Proof, if any was needed, that the show has enjoyed greater and greater popularity since its launch, the figures provide a fair estimation of the viewers expected to tune in each week to follow the lives of Captain Lee and chef Ben Robinson.

As we exclusively revealed in an earlier article, the yacht featured in this season of Below Deck, the highly modern VALOR, is in actual fact the 47m/154ft motor yacht BG , a Feadship yacht which is available for private charter .

Having been on board BG in Miami following the filming of Below Deck, the team at YachtCharterFleet recently published a fully comprehensive review of the yacht which contains a number of exclusive images which can be found  here .

To get an indepth look at the skylounge and the more hidden parts of the yacht, watch the video below to take a guide tour courtesy of this season’s breakout star, stewardess Kate Chastain.

Immaculately maintained and replete with the latest features, the Below Deck Season 4 yacht VALOR is sure to have viewers stunned during each and every episode

As well as taking a behind-the-scenes look at Captain Lee’s cabin and the galley used by Ben Robinson, the latest video from Bravo provides an even greater insight into the design of BG’s skylounge.

Consistent with the monochrome theme which governs other communal and private spaces, the skylounge has been arranged to optimise the space available and offers a suitably luxurious environment for guests to socialise and unwind in.

A rare glimpse into the lives of crews and captains, deckhand Nico Scholly also makes an appearance in the most recent installment of the tour around superyacht BG.

Sure to be one of the best seasons yet, Below Deck Season 4 takes place in the British Virgin Islands , a destination famed for its cobalt blue waters and awe-inspiring coastlines.

With an exterior layout perfectly primed for enjoying the climate of the Caribbean , charterers on board BG will be treated to a variety of outdoor options with enough room for some late night partying.

What’s more, with stewardess Sierra Storm making her debut in the world of yachting, there’s sure to be plenty of scenes keeping audiences glued to their seats.

In order to find out more regarding M/Y BG, please feel free to get in touch with your preferred charter broker .

How Much Does It Cost To Rent The Yachts On Below Deck?

Watching Bravo's  Below Deck , it's kind of impossible not to fantasize about renting one of the featured luxury yachts for yourself. For most of us regular folks, the idea of lounging around having every need tended to by a crew of hot, young twentysomethings is an experience we're only going to get watching this particular show (and its drama-filled spin-off,  Below Deck Mediterranean , of course).

Still, it's fun to dream. And if our funds ever permit us to, the first stop would be one of these huge boats replete with gold bathroom fixtures, luxuriously expansive guest cabins, and Michelin-star service. So, how much exactly would that set you back?

The Below Deck yachts do not come cheap

According to  Worldwide Boat,  the cheapest you can rent one of the featured yachts (the Ohana, from season 2) is $140,000 per week. The rest range in price all the way up to a whopping €231,000 (around $256,000 per week) for the Talisman Maiton, which was featured on  Below Deck Med  season 3.

According to  Yacht Charter Fleet , the smaller super-yachts, including the  Ionian Princess , the  Valor , and the  Sirocco , rent for approximately $154,000 to $199,500 per week, depending on the season and the boat. The good news, though, is the Ohana is $140,000 per week at any time of year, so it's something of a bargain compared to the others.

As for the mid-range yachts, the  Eros  is currently not available for rent, nor is the recently-redone  Honor . The biggest super-yachts, meanwhile, are  way  out of seemingly anybody's price range. The aforementioned Talisman Maiton goes for the same massive fee no matter the time of year, while  My Seanna , at 185 feet, is $294,000 a week in the winter and $315,500 a week in summer. 

Appearing on Below Deck might save you some money

Those looking to appear on  Below Deck  might get a discount as, according to  The Forward Cabin , charter guests who feature only pay around $11,000 each for the privilege, and that includes airfare, hotels, and more. The charters are shorter, however, clocking in at just a few days each according to  Worldwide Boat . 

It's still a massive discount considering the show's own Kate Chastain told  ET ,  "Generally a boat that size, 150 foot — this one's 160, Valor — but around that price range, for seven days, is around $150,000. But that does not include airfare, fuel, food, wine, docking, tip. So, I would say for a boat like Valor, for a week vacation, it would be around a quarter of a million dollars."

If you're more interested in owning rather than renting a yacht, be forewarned;  Denison Yachting  advises it'll cost around $4.75 million annually for a 180-foot vessel, including around $400,00 for fuel, $350,000 for dockage, $240,000 for vessel insurance, $1 million for maintenance and repairs, and $1.4 million for crew salaries.

They're definitely pricey, but the Below Deck yachts are worth it

Chartering a luxury yacht, particularly one featured on Below Deck, costs so much for one major reason: You're getting a first class experience. As noted by Worldwide Boat , the expert crews working these boats are the best of the best (despite what the hit show and its spin-off, may lead us to believe), and the amenities boasted by each truly have to be seen to be believed. Put simply, this is a once in a lifetime vacation.

Take the Ionian Princess, which boasts a sun deck featuring a Jacuzzi and breathtaking views. The gorgeous boat, originally built in 2005, also includes luxury accommodations across six cabins for up to 12 guests. Likewise, the Dutch-built Sirocco, which was made in 2006, also features a sun deck but it's equipped with a gym, making it even more special. Elsewhere on-board there's an alfresco party deck, theater, and plenty of other amenities for fun both on and off the water. 

The yachts featured on Below Deck are basically floating luxury hotels

The mighty Talisman Maiton, meanwhile, fittingly named for a stunning Thai island, is a superb, tri-deck yacht. Although it accommodates 12 guests total, the boat also features a master suite and a VIP stateroom, so exclusivity is key. It was refit in 2016 (the yacht was originally built in 2006) and now features a glorious sun deck and spa pool complete with a bar, gym, and an all-important observation deck with panoramic views.

The  huge My Seanna also boasts a master suite and VIP stateroom, as well as a chic beach club, fittings brushed in 22 carat gold, a sundeck sauna and gym, helipad, and even an outdoor movie theater. Act quickly and you might just get a discount on it, as  Yacht Charter Fleet  previously advertised that the first three charters to the Bahamas this past summer were subject to an insane 35 percent price reduction. 

Chartering a  Below Deck  yacht is something most of us will only ever dream of doing, but it's not hard to understand why those who have the cash choose to splash out for the privilege.

The Luxury Of 'Below Deck's New Yacht Is Costly

Another season of Below Deck , another opportunity to imagine what it would be like to have a yacht of your very own. This season's ship may be the most luxurious yet, so out of curiosity, how much would it cost to buy Valor? Buying a yacht of any size, shape, type, or quality is probably out of range for most people — let alone one like Valor, but hey, it's always fun to imagine, right? Saving up in order to buy a superyacht may be an unattainable goal, but it's pretty harmless, like hoping to be on the shortlist for Fashion Week invitations or dreaming of owning a professional basketball team. Or, maybe it's not a goal and you just love finding out how much stuff costs. Either way, because yachts seem to frequently change hands, there is some reliable information out there about how much the Valor costs.

The yacht can be booked through Burgess Yachts, and according to company, the asking price for the BG/Valor is $11,990,000. Now that's fun and reasonable: just $12 million for your very own boat/TV filming location! While the price is certainly out of reach for just about everyone who's not a celebrity/bajillionaire, the price can be justified by the 154-foot Valor's many luxurious features.

Of all the superyacht guides, your go-to should be YachtCharterFleet, which always features a deep-dive on the Below Deck yachts before each season starts. According to its article about the history of the "Valor," the boat's real name is BG, and it hails from the Netherlands, so it has a Northern European flair, though it will be right at home around the British Virgin Isles during the filming of Below Deck Season 4. It is referred to as "the yachting equivalent of a Rolls Royce," which to me suggests that if James Bond owned a yacht, it would be this one.

And whether the owner of the yacht is a British superspy or not, they'll be amazed to see the ship's amenities. According to Burgess, there are six cabins that can accommodate up to a dozen guests, and, of course, there's room for a crew to take care of your every need. Other features of the ship, according to Burgess?

"The unique dining salon has a patina and rosewood table, featuring a spectacular custom-built wine wardrobe displaying 120 bottles. The bridge deck aft boasts a phenomenal exterior dining and entertaining area with projector screen. A stylish jacuzzi area and large sun pad area provides panoramic views from the sun deck."

The Valor/BG was recently renovated by designer Dee Dee Taylor Eustace, which, according to YCW, was a big deal. Because of that makeover, the Valor looks a little different than some of the other boats that have hosted Below Deck seasons. It's very modern, and more inspired by minimalism than it its by old-world Mediterranean luxury. Think lots of white linens as opposed to polished gold finishes. It should still be a big chore for the crew to clean up, but it might suggest that this season will draw new kinds of guests. Of course, there's always going to be one big similarity between all of the Below Deck charter guests, which holds true for anyone who owns a superyacht — you'll need a lot of cash to set sail.

Size and Style of the Yacht : Larger yachts with more luxurious amenities and features will generally be more expensive than smaller or simpler vessels. For example, a 34 to 35-foot boat might rent for about €2,000 per week, whereas a 40-footer might rent for €3,200 per week for the same dates.

Season and Availability : Peak seasons, such as the summer months in the Mediterranean or the winter months in the Caribbean, may see increased demand and higher prices than off-season dates. Booking well in advance can help secure better rates and ensure availability.

Crew and Additional Services : A fully crewed charter with a luxury private villa or hotel room may cost around $30,000, including meals, transport, and activities. However, some charters require you to pay for these expenses separately, so it's essential to check what's included beforehand.

Location : Depending on the yacht and where you plan to sail, the charter cost may vary due to regional pricing differences and local taxes or fees. For instance, a yacht charter in the Mediterranean may have different costs than one in the Caribbean or Southeast Asia.

These costs may vary depending on the yacht you choose.

Fuel Consumption : The amount you'll spend on fuel is highly dependent on factors like the distance you travel, the yacht's fuel efficiency, and the price of diesel at the time of your charter. Keep in mind that the longer you cruise, the greater the cost of fuel.

Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) : The APA is used to cover expenses like food, beverages, port fees, and other costs that may arise during the charter. Typically, guests can accumulate an additional 25% to 50% of the base charter fee through the APA, depending on what is consumed. Remember to budget accordingly for these expenses.

Crew Gratuity : It's customary to tip the yacht's crew at the end of your charter. Tips are usually around 15% to 20% of the total real cost of the charter. This is an important aspect to keep in mind while planning your trip, as it directly impacts the crew's income.

Finding the Right Yacht : To start planning your dream yacht vacation, first browse through the available yachts featured on Below Deck, such as St. David, Honor or Lumiere, Ohana or Rhino, Eros or Stay Salty, Valor or BG, My Seanna or Starship, Parsifal III, Mercury, Thalassa or Keri Lee III, Home, Ionian Princess, Sirocco, Talisman Maiton, The Wellington, and Lady Michelle. Consider factors such as the yacht's size, amenities, and the number of guests it can accommodate.

Contact a Yacht Charter Broker or Agency : Once you've selected your preferred yacht, reach out to a reputable yacht charter broker or agency who can guide you through the booking process. They will help you with pricing details and availability for your desired dates. Remember that the cost will vary depending on the yacht, the length of your stay, and other additional expenses.

Review and Customize Your Itinerary : Work with your charter broker to create a tailored itinerary that suits your preferences and interests. They will help you plan the perfect destinations, activities, and menu for your 3-day charter. Make sure to communicate any specific needs or requests during this stage, such as dietary restrictions or any celebratory events that may be taking place during your trip.

Sign Contract and Make Payment : Once you are satisfied with your itinerary and pricing, your charter broker will provide you with a contract outlining the terms and conditions of your yacht charter. Review the contract carefully, sign it, and then make the necessary payments according to the payment schedule mentioned in the agreement. Keep in mind that your broker may require a deposit to secure your booking and that the final payment may be due several weeks before your departure.
