Motor Yacht Galaxy; Genoa Yacht Charter Show
Galaxy
We were pleased as always to be back on board Galaxy with Captain Dughall and his wife Poppie as Chief Stewardess today at the Myba Charter Show in Genoa, Italy. Galaxy, at 56 meters, is a beautifully built Benetti, launched in 2005, with 6 guest staterooms for a total of 12 guests, each with ensuite bath. Besides a Jacuzzi on the top deck big enough for at least 8 guests at once, there is also an air conditioned gym with a great 360 degree view, and plenty of sun bathing deck lounges. Having just completed the winter season in the Caribbean for charter, Galaxy is back in the Western Mediterranean for the summer ready for another great charter season.

Dining on Galaxy
We have known Captain Dughall and Poppie for a number of years as they were previously on the charter yacht Talon and always created a great charter experience. Coupled with Chef Hamish, and 10 other crew, the food and service is top notch.
Following is the crew profile for Chef Hamish:
Head Chef Hamish Watson
New Zealand
Hamish is an exceptional Chef; his food is of the very highest standards. He is a fully qualified and experienced London City and Guilds Chef. Amongst his qualifications he has won several awards including NZ South Island Chef of the Year Award, and he came 4th in the Chain des Rotisserie World Championships in South Africa. Hamish is calm, organized, and is a popular crew member. He has travelled many places including Africa where he trekked through the forests to spend time with giant gorillas. He is adventurous and loves his sport. Hamish is a New Zealander and loves to spend time at home with his family and friends.
When we were on board today, Hamish had made Truffled Egg Custards served inside the hollowed shell of an egg perched in an egg carton. Not only was the presentation fun and very inventive, but the Truffled Egg Custard was terrific, with a light consistency that melted on your tongue. This could be a very hard charter experience to pass up, if you are thinking about a charter in the Western Mediterranean for this coming summer.
