We are looking for a creative, confident and experienced Chef to join a private sailing yacht as soon as possible. The ideal candidate will have previous experience onboard similar-sized yachts and be a strong culinary all-rounder, capable of delivering delicious, varied and consistently high-quality food. Elaborate fine dining is not essential; the focus is on excellent flavours, creativity, variety and consistently well-executed dishes. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys cooking and takes pride in producing beautiful, flavourful food without unnecessary complexity.
The successful candidate will take responsibility for all aspects of the galley, including guest and crew meals, menu planning, provisioning, stock management and maintaining excellent galley hygiene standards. The vessel has a crew of 8, and the Chef must be comfortable preparing healthy, varied and generous crew meals alongside guest dining. There are currently no specific dietary requirements. Confidence in engaging with guests, discussing menus and personally presenting dishes is important, along with the ability to adapt to guest preferences and maintain consistently high standards.
We are looking for someone who is confident, highly organised and has a strong character, while remaining calm and composed under pressure. The ideal candidate will have a good sense of humour, a positive attitude and the ability to integrate well into a close-knit crew. Someone who is personable, professional and comfortable interacting with guests will be particularly well suited to this position.
