Stephen Fallon
Captain

Nation: American

Karli Niehoff
Chef

Nation: American

Captain Stephen Fallon - Stephen’s first encounter with yachts was 26 years ago. The opportunity to deliver a 100-foot yacht from Chicago to Antigua, with a family friend who is also a yacht Captain. This trip encompassed the Great Lakes, Welland and Erie Canals, Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean. The ever-changing scenery and diverse work load, was an immediate attraction. After a few years as Deckhand, Mate, it was clear this could become a career. Stephen has cruised extensively all along the East Coast of the United States, from Halifax Canada to the Florida Keys, including 3 visits to Bermuda. A good portion of Stephen’s experience is doing charter work in the Caribbean, BVI USVI, and the Bahamas. An opportunity to build a 142’ Christensen over 2 years, has afforded Stephen cruising experience from Washington State thru California and beyond into the Baja Peninsula of Mexico

Chef Karli Niehoff- Karli was born and raised on Long Island, New York. She has been practicing the culinary arts for over 17 years with a strong emphasis on crafting pastries. Her energetic and vibrant nature influences her culinary creations. Karli’s wealth of expertise brings exceptional dishes to each guest regardless of their dietary needs, ensuring an unforgettable experience with each bite. Her success is attributed to her attention to detail, creativity, and experience working both on yachts and private estates. Her passion for food and entertainment is sure to impress any guest that steps on board M/Y
Temptation.

Chief Stewardess Jennifer Fallon - After spending 10 years in the Office of Professional Services at the Yale School of Medicine, Jennifer left the coast of CT for the coast of RI. It was Newport where she began working on the Schooner Adirondack doing day sails around Narragansett Bay and then started free lancing on mega yachts. After the summer season she drove to Florida got her first permanent job and never looked back. Jennifer has traveled and chartered extensively throughout New England, Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mexico. She looks forward to sharing her experience with charter clients aboard M/Y Temptation.

First Mate Paul Schiller - Having owned a small sailboat for some years on Florida’s Central-East Coast and Intercostal waterway, Paul always had the desire to be on the water but didn’t always have the time. In late 2019 he left an executive job in the wide-format digital print industry to pursue new ventures. This was immediately followed by a global pandemic, which afforded him the time and opportunity to discover a new career path. He quickly acquired a captains license and began running deliveries. Paul’s first delivery job was bringing a 100’ Broward yacht down from East Hampton to Southern Florida. It was a great way to see the eastern seaboard and most of the Intercoastal from north to south. He continues to gain knowledge and experience as well as many great friendships in the yachting industry.

Stewardess/Deckhand Emery Wallerich - Originally from Seattle, WA, Emery went off to college to play soccer at Oregon State University while getting her major in Digital Communications. A week after she graduated, she caught wind of the elusive yachting industry and immediately got her courses. On her first yacht job she traveled into the West Coast of Canada. Seeing pods of orcas, humpback whales, and the beautiful scenery Canada has to offer, Emery was hooked. Her passion for the ocean, travel, and meeting new people fueled the love she has for her job.

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

  • Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.

  • Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.

  • Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.
