The Film
25 years in galleys, in 90 seconds.
The Problem
Most galleys are designed without input from the people who actually run them.
A superyacht galley is a commercial-grade kitchen under immense pressure: owners with exacting expectations, limited space, constant provisioning, large amounts of crew food to produce, and demanding service standards.
Guests still expect calm perfection at every meal, as they should.
Yet too often, these spaces are built to domestic standards by people who have never cooked professionally at sea. They may be equipped to cook for a small family, then expected to cater for 17 crew and 12 guests. Seven days a week, for weeks on end.
The result? A space that looks good on paper but fails in operation.
The Solution
Superyacht Galley Designs puts lived chef experience at the heart of the new build process, so every decision supports elevating the guest experience and allows a galley team to deliver on the highest standards in the world.
The Process
Six phases from the first conversation to the day the galley goes to work.
- 01
Discovery Video Call
A 30-minute video call about your project — vessel size, build stage, and what the galley has to deliver. It establishes scope and whether SGD is the right fit.
- 02
Initial 3D Design
The first galley layout, built from your GA. Service flow, hot pass, and dish pit are set first, then prep, refrigeration, and dry stores.
- 03
Design Development
The layout is refined with your design team — equipment selection, dimensions, and workflow tested against real service scenarios.
- 04
Technical Coordination
Direct work with the yard, naval architects, and interior designers to resolve services, ventilation, and access on paper — before steel is cut.
- 05
Construction Support
Ongoing review during the build, checking that what was drawn is what gets installed and answering yard questions before they become mistakes.
- 06
Commissioning
Final walkthrough and sign-off — equipment tested, workflow proven, and the galley handed to the crew ready for service.
The Table
Six people sign off on a superyacht build. Only one of them has ever run a service out of the space they're approving.
What they say
“It was a pleasure to work with Brennan — a very knowledgeable chef and a true food lover. He gave us real insight into the daily operation of these high-intensity areas, and helped us find the right balance between working space, storage, and appliances. I can recommend everybody to use his knowledge and skills for new build or refit projects.”
