Charter Companion2026

Yachting in Style with Peace of Mind

BGYB is proud to introduce the 2026 edition of our Charter Companion, a detailed guide to the current charter landscape and the continued growth of our fleet. Looking back on the past season while anticipating what lies ahead, this edition presents the exceptional range of yachts and destinations we have to offer.

2025 marked another successful year for the BGYB charter department, with sustained growth in the number of charters organised year on year. Thanks to the addition of new yachts, the arrival of more repeat clients, and advanced networking at a number of prestigious events, our charter turnover is more dynamic than ever. In response to the ongoing trend of last-minute bookings, we continue to prioritise agility and responsiveness in our operations, all the while forging meaningful professional connections.

2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year of evolution and expansion. Clients are increasingly seeking eco-friendly charter options that do not compromise on refined luxury: a vision which we strive to prioritise in our fleet.

The BGYB fleet grew significantly in 2025, with a total of eight new yachts joining us, reaching a new record of 31 in the charter fleet. Among these new additions are three exceptional sailing yachts: SATORI, THANDEKA, and YQUEM; and 4 brand new catamarans Sunreef 80 A-PLAN, Alegria 67 BLUESATION, Lagoon Sixty 5 LADY ROSÉ, Sunreef Power 80 TESNI. We also welcomed the return of the iconic 25m performance catamaran MAGIC CAT. These yachts cater to a wide range of client preferences, whether that be a traditional sailing experience, or a simpler yet stylish option. Even one yacht alone can offer a whole variety of experiences, as demonstrated through ATLANTIC and ABUNDANCE which both continue on exciting world tours of unique destinations that we invite you to discover in this catalogue.

Our marketing strategies also continue to go from strength to strength. In 2025, we participated in familiarisation trips such as an unforgettable visit to Costa Rica in January, Turkey in May and a September Croatia experience, featuring the CROYA Yacht Show. These trips allow brokers to step

into clients’ shoes, enabling us to promote an accurate and insightful charter experience. We further showcased our fleet at prominent industry events, including the San Remo MYBA Charter Show and the Palma Superyacht Show. These events provide opportunities to engage with other brokers, meet potential clients, and present the unique qualities of our yachts. The event of the year was undoubtedly the December Antigua Yacht Show, where our stunning 65m ATLANTIC, a replica of the world’s largest racing schooner, stole the show. We cannot wait for more opportunities to showcase our outstanding fleet in 2026.

Internally, we have expanded to more online platforms to increase promotion. New itinerary-creating technology has allowed us to craft tailored routes for a personalised charter experience. To help with marketing and communications, we welcomed two new recruits to the charter team this year: a new Charter Assistant and a Junior Charter Broker and Manager.

We continue with the same momentum in 2026, embracing new trends in sustainable yachting and client engagement. This catalogue invites you to explore some of the most breathtaking charter destinations worldwide, featuring a hand-picked collection of sailing and motor yachts. From relaxed cruising to competitive regattas, our yachts never compromise on exceptional performance and luxury service.

Supported by our Yacht Charter Management expertise and a dedicated team, we promise nothing less than a smooth, personalised journey that will be remembered forever .

“Yachting in Style with Peace of Mind”

We hope this Charter Companion is both informative and inspiring, and look forward to hopefully welcoming you on board one of our yachts very soon.

Charter Guide

A charter experience designed around you

Chartering a yacht is not about choosing a boat from a list.

It is about entrusting specialists to design, coordinate and quietly manage every detail of your time at sea.

At Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage, we approach each charter as a bespoke project.

From the first conversation to the final confirmation, we take care of everything, so your only focus is the experience itself.

Creating the perfect charter

Defining your expectations

Every successful charter begins with understanding.

Before proposing any yacht, we take the time to listen — to your plans, your travel style and the atmosphere you wish to create on board.

Who is the charter for?

Whether you are travelling with family, friends or colleagues, we define together the number of guests, the ideal cabin layout and the level of service required.

This allows us to create a precise and relevant yacht selection, aligned with both comfort and privacy.

Where and when to go?

Destination and timing shape the entire experience. Weather patterns, cruising distances, seasonality and local events are carefully considered.

We guide you towards the regions offering the best conditions at the right time, while advising on the optimal charter duration and cruising pace.

Motor

yacht,

sailing

yacht or catamaran?

Each type of yacht offers a very different experience.

• Motor yachts provide space, speed and high-end amenities, ideal for guests seeking maximum comfort and effortless cruising.

• Sailing yachts offer a more traditional and immersive experience, combining elegance, tranquillity and the pleasure of sailing.

• Catamarans are particularly popular for their stability, generous living spaces and ease of movement, making them ideal for families and larger groups.

Your charter broker will help you choose the option that best matches your expectations and lifestyle.

Life on board

The atmosphere on board should feel effortless and personal. Cuisine, wines, daily rhythm, special requests and individual preferences are discussed in advance and shared with the captain and crew.

Nothing is left to chance, so the yacht feels immediately familiar.

Activities and experiences

From relaxed coastal cruising and water sports to exploration ashore or simply enjoying time on deck, each charter is shaped around your interests.

We help create a programme that balances discovery, flexibility and moments of complete relaxation.

Experience has taught us that the most memorable charters are not defined by what is planned — but by what has been carefully anticipated.

Charter Guide

Step 2

Planning your charter with your dedicated Charter Broker

Once the foundations are set, your dedicated Charter Broker becomes your single point of contact.

They coordinate every aspect of the charter: yacht availability, itinerary design, crew alignment, regulatory considerations and operational logistics. Seasonality, cruising regulations and real-world constraints are carefully reviewed to ensure a seamless experience.

Beyond selecting a yacht, we ensure that every element works together coherently. Our in-depth knowledge of yachts, crews and cruising areas allows us to anticipate details and resolve complexities long before they arise.

More than organising a charter, our role is to quietly orchestrate everything behind the scenes. By the time you step on board, the work is already done — all that remains is the experience itself.

Step 3

Finalising your charter

Complete clarity, total peace of mind

Your charter is formalised under the MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) standard agreement, an internationally recognised contractual framework.

The charter fee includes the use of the yacht, her professional crew and onboard equipment. Operational expenses, including fuel, port fees, food, beverages and specific services, are managed through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically set at approximately 30% of the charter fee.

The captain administers the APA on your behalf and maintains detailed accounts throughout the charter. At the end of your stay, expenses are reconciled transparently: any unused balance is refunded, or additional costs are settled accordingly.

Our role at this stage is simple: to handle the details, answer your questions and ensure everything is perfectly prepared, so you can relax and look forward to stepping on board.

HALAS 71

HALAS’ colourful history begins in 1914 when she was purchased by the British Government. However due to the outbreak of World War I, the British Government refused to allow her delivery. She arrived in Turkish waters in 1918. In 1923 her name was officially changed to HALAS (meaning deliverance), and she was used as a passenger ferry on the Bosphorus for 65 years.

1984 saw her sold into the private sector and converted into a luxury cruiser. From 2008 to 2016 she was entirely and extensively renovated, and since this time she has been serving as a fully–licensed luxury coastal cruiser available in Istanbul and along the south-western coastline of Turkey. With her idyllic setting and impeccable services, Halas offers the perfect atmosphere for exclusive weddings

or corporate events for up to 120 people. 12 luxuriously appointed cabins accommodate up to 24 guests, while the principal indoor dining room can seat up to 60 people, with additional outdoor space for another 42 people. Her weekly tariff includes full board and beverages like soft drinks and water. Fuel, berthing dues, harbour charges, alcoholic beverages, customs formalities, charges for water and electricity taken from shore, and agent’s fees are at charterer’s expense. Any additional guests invited for a meal will be charged additionally.

Above all, she is once again breathtakingly beautiful, turning heads wherever the wind takes her.

Her spars tower some 45 meters above the waterline and support a staggering area of 1,750 m² of sail, more than two and a half times that of the already awesome J-Class yachts.

Organized in collaboration with the International Maxi Association and with the support of title-sponsor Rolex, the regatta regularly attracts upwards of 40 maxi yachts, including the very best of international yachting. Competing divisions range from the 18 to 24-metre Mini Maxi class, which competes for its World Championship during the event, to the Supermaxi division, which hosts yachts of 30.5 metres and above.
