Stainless Steel Preparation Tables

Preparation tables define the workflow efficiency of a superyacht galley. A well-designed prep table provides a hygienic, stable working surface that accommodates the full range of mise-en-place activities while integrating seamlessly with refrigeration, sinks, equipment rails and storage below.

Marine Galley Worktop Design Principles

Superyacht preparation tables are almost always custom-fabricated to suit the precise dimensions and service configuration of each vessel's galley. The design process considers the chef's working height, overhead equipment positions, service routing beneath the worktop and the relationship between prep zones, cooking equipment and plating areas.

Construction Specification

• Worktop material: 304-grade stainless steel in 1.2–1.5 mm thickness with mirror or satin No. 4 finish standard for hygiene and aesthetics.
• Undercounter refrigeration: Integrated undercounter refrigerator drawers beneath the prep surface maintain ingredient accessibility during service.
• Sink integration: One or two undermount sinks with knee-operated or sensor-actuated taps maintain hygiene workflow without cross-contamination.
• Cutting surface inserts: Removable HDPE or Corian inserts flush-set into the stainless worktop provide a dedicated cutting surface, colour-coded per HACCP food category.
• Marine securing: All table legs and base units must be welded or bolted to the vessel structure through vibration-isolating mounts.
• Equipment rails: Stainless wall rails above the worktop carry hanging storage for knives, utensils and small equipment.

Fabrication and Supply

We work with specialist marine stainless fabricators to design and produce preparation tables and complete galley furniture as bespoke items. Standard commercial prep tables from Tournus and Nayati are also available where custom fabrication timelines do not align with the vessel's delivery schedule.
