WHAT WE DO
Private & Superyacht Chefs Recruitment
"As a leading agency in chef recruitment, we specialize in finding the crème de la crème of culinary talent for exclusive positions, including those on superyachts, in luxurious private homes, and in winter chalets. Reach out to us today and let's begin the journey to finding the perfect chef for your needs."
SUPERYACHT CHEFS
Finding the right chef for a superyacht is a balancing act between culinary expertise and personallity. 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.

Our History
It all started with an idea...
In 2017, Chris Demaillet, founder & managing director of Montclair Chef, identified a market opportunity and created YachtChefWanted.com, an online platform for listing yacht chef jobs, with the aim of providing a digital space for employment opportunities that was free from the overwhelming presence of spam and irrelevant content commonly found on other platforms.
As of today, the platform has surpassed 10,000 chefs who have subscribed to its daily content, and it is set to become the world largest yacht chef job posting board.
In the winter of 2022, YachtChefWanted.com underwent a rebranding and is now operating as MontclairChef.com.
Our Expertise
Only Chefs
With over two decades of experience as a chef onboard superyachts and private residences, Chris Demaillet is an expert in his field. Before founding Montclair Chef, he also refined his craft by working with some of the world's top chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Chris's unique background as both a chef and recruiter gives Montclair Chef a distinct advantage over our competitors. We possess a thorough understanding of both the recruiter's and chef's perspectives, making us the obvious choice for all your private and superyacht chef needs.
Our goal is to be the top private chef recruitment agency in the industry.
