'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.

5 Things About VALOR Superyacht (Price, Location, Owner)

The motor yacht ‘BG’ (formerly known as Valor), measuring 46.9 meters (153 feet 10 inches), was crafted by Feadship in the Netherlands, specifically at their Aalsmeer shipyard. Its interior, fashioned by McMillen Design, exudes sophistication and was finalized in 1990. De Voogt’s masterful exterior design graces this opulent vessel, which underwent its latest refit in 2021.

A Charter With The 'Below Deck' Crew Will Cost You

From Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous to MTV Cribs , TV viewers have always been fascinated by fancy houses, crazy-big yachts, and the contents of famous people’s fridges. In that vein, a whole new season of Below Deck is on deck (sorry, had to) on Bravo, and the previews already have me dreaming of winning the lottery and getting my very own yacht to cruise around the British Virgin Islands with. But how much does it cost to charter the Valor, Below Deck 's new yacht? Let’s just say that I’ll need to really hit the lottery hard to have a chance of taking out that bad boy.

According to Yacht Charter Fleet, the Valor, which was previously named BG, is 154-feet long, sleeps up to 12 guests , and has a crew of 10. Built in 1990 and completely refitted in 2015 in a “Hampton-style” interior, the Valor offers “the very best in amenities and lounging options.” And it can be all yours for the low, low price of €140,000 per week, or $158,000 per week, plus expenses. Chump change, right?

While I’m not going to be renting a yacht for a week at that cost (I think I could afford a rowboat, maybe), a gal can dream, so here’s what I would do with the new cast of Below Deck on my British Virgin Island adventure.

Make Ben Whip Up Luxe Meals Just For Me

Ben, the resident chef on Below Deck , has plenty of experience with picky eaters on the yacht. Lucky for him, I am the opposite of picky — I eat everything. I would want him to whip me up complicated, luxurious meal so I can dine while overlooking the crystal blue waters of Tortola and think about how fabulous I am.

Ask Kate To Iron My Most Wrinkled Pieces

I am really great with doing laundry — it’s a chore I don’t mind — but I am pretty hopeless at ironing. It’s the bane of my existence. Sure, I can manage to make a t-shirt look unwrinkled, but if there is anything with seams or pleats or starch, it’s an ugly mess and I end up having it dry cleaned. Kate, however, presses all of her stew uniforms and she always looks like a million bucks, so if I were on the Valor, I might bring some of my laundry just so she can put her trademark creases on my pants.

Chill Out With Captain Lee

The captain doesn’t really fraternize with the guests on the yacht, save for a cocktail or two, but I want to sit with Captain Lee and pick his brain about all of his life experiences. You know that the guy has seen more than his fair share of crazy places and faces, and I want to hear all about his life on the water. I also want to talk about his favorite and least favorite Below Deck crew members — what he really thinks about them.

Like I said, my wallet is a little thin right now to be chartering a yacht like the Valor, but if I ever manage to save up $158,000, I think a week with the Below Deck crew would be well worth it.

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.

Originally posted by Red Wizard : Yeah, that one is actually super fast for its class. I was working on a spreadsheet to accurately compare max speeds of various ships, and I think it can actually outperform the Magellan with top tier crew since it could theoretically get a specialist First Officer with + Max Speed trait, and a specialist Pilot with both Pilot efficiency bonus and +Max Speed trait. Even without crew it's not that far behind (70 vs 76) In my spreadsheet I have accounted for ship stats, player skills, and roughly accounted for end-game crew. I have not accounted for Speed Boosters, though. I think those are ship weight dependent, though, so smaller ships get a lot more out of them.

Inside Below Deck Season 5 Superyacht VALOR

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   18 July 2017

Airing on the 5th September, Below Deck season 5 sees the return of fan favourite Captain Lee Rosbach as well as superyacht VALOR, the charter yacht which featured on Below Deck season 4.

The first time a superyacht has featured twice on Bravo’s popular Below Deck TV series, VALOR will be returning to viewer’s screens this fall along with a number of fresh and familiar cast members.

Indeed, the much loved Chef Ben Robinson- a favoruite who has featured on each Below Deck season before now- has made way for Chef Matt Burns, whilst mainstays Kate Chastain and Nico Scholly will be resuming their roles as chief stewardess and senior deckhand respectively.

As we revealed in an exclusive last year, VALOR is in actual fact the 47m/154ft motor yacht BG . Built by world-leading shipyard Feadship, she is available for charter in the Mediterranean during summer and the Caribbean during winter.

Having been on board the motor yacht for a guided tour and cocktails at the Palm Beach Boat Show , you can read our full review here , as well as taking a full look inside with the pictures and information found below.

A wholly modern motor yacht built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard Feadship, superyacht BG is defined by her excellence. Indeed, by bringing together the very best in luxury amenities amidst a calm environment, her interior is sure to please everyone who steps on board.

Expertly refit in 2015 by Dee Dee Taylor Eustace, a celebrity architect and interior designer who established Taylor Hannah Architect Inc, the playful contrast of bright whites and colour make her as unique as she is comfortable.

It’s thefore unsurprising that the yacht is returning for a second season of Below Deck, with both the communal and guest spaces featured around the interior lending themselves perfectly for a show all about the glamour of the superyacht lifestyle.

Lovingly designed and full of the latest features, superyacht BG is perfectly designed for memorable charter vacations

Sure to be the stage for all the action to take place on this season, the exterior of luxury yacht BG is equipped with all of the latest and most desired features.

The sprawling sunpads on the sundeck, for example, are only a short distance away from a large Jacuzzi, an arrangement which allows the entire party to gather together for some stylish fun in the sun.

Steps on both the port and starboard side of the aft deck promise easy access to the full beam swim platform which has been superbly extended for greater access to the water. From this platform guests are able to effortlessly board tenders, begin playing with her catalogue of towable water toys, or simply dive into the ocean to cool off.

Also boasting an inflatable slide which can be attached to the sundeck, guests on board have the option of entering the water in the coolest fashion.

Read here for further information on any of the yachts featured in the Below Deck TV series , or contact your preferred charter broker if you are interested in inquiring about a vacation on-board M/Y BG.

Alternatively, browse and compare all luxury yachts available to charter in the Caribbean .
