SOME OF OUR CHEF HIRE SERVICES
SUPERYACHT CHEFS
Finding the right chef for a superyacht is a balancing act between culinary expertise and personality. The ability to create exceptional cuisine is critical when catering to demanding charter guests or elite superyacht owners. Equally as important is the chef's ability to work well under pressure and integrate seamlessly with the crew onboard. Our goal is to help our clients identify the perfect candidate who excels in both areas.
PRIVATE CHEFS
Choosing the right Private Chef is crucial for the successful operation of a private residence. With the close working relationship with the principal and their family, it's important to find a candidate who not only has exceptional culinary skills but also understands household etiquette and standards.
Let us help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
