Signature dishes and curated menus at sea
Every charter yacht has a professional crew on board that has received five-star service training to guarantee that every meal is prepared to the highest standards. Your onboard chef can satisfy all of your culinary needs and the cuisine will be nothing short of superb, from exquisitely prepared four-course meals to delectable snacks and nibbles. It’s the pinnacle of gourmet dining that comes with exceptional service and a customized menu.
You and your guests will be asked to fill out a preference sheet outlining any dietary needs, food allergies, and medical issues prior to the start of your luxury charter. This sheet will then be used by the crew to learn about your preferences. Be honest and perhaps even daring, and the crew will surely not let you down as they provide you with nothing less than perfect.
You can also check with your onboard chef and collaborate to decide what dishes you would want to eat while at sea. This will guarantee that all meals will be prepared to precisely meet your requirements and that your meals will be made with ingredients you have specifically ordered.
Keep in mind that when the yacht has sailed, chefs won't have access to big supplies of ingredients and sourcing them will always depend on your itinerary. Because yacht charter crews enjoy throwing parties, make sure to note any special occasions you may have while on board. With your favorite people and a slice of custom birthday cake for dessert, what better way to celebrate than with a feast of culinary treats?
Your onboard chef may whip up spectacular meals that are precisely customized to your individual tastes, from scrumptious hors d'oeuvres to mouthwatering beach picnics. Bon appétit!
Taste of local flavors - Yachts travelling regions certainly have their own local flavors and ingredients available onboard for guests to enjoy. From sun-dried produce of Italy, tropical fruits of the Caribbean, or herbs and spices of Greece, these are ready for requests in some yacht charters.
Customized culinary journey - Yacht chartering is a personal experience and what makes it more tailored to the guest than the food. The professional chefs are equipped with skills and knowledge to craft dishes based on requests. Say, the client is vegan, or has an allergy, trust the onboard chefs and they will provide the best food that is fit for the client.
World class experience - Dining in a yacht is already a luxury, and yacht chefs surely know how to further the experience. Champagne and steak under the stars, a hearty meal while cruising the Mediterranean, or a simple sandwich while relaxing on the sundeck.
Dining on your private yacht is a sensory journey—from the salt in the air to the clink of crystal glasses. You’re not limited by menus or hours. You’re free to indulge, explore, and taste the world, one dish at a time.
