How to Break into the World of Yacht Chefs.

As a chef, have you ever stood looking at those superyachts dotted about in the exclusive

harbours of the world and wondered, 'how do I get a job working on a yacht like that?'. The experts in Private Chef Placement at Ocean Earth Chefs give us some pointers.

For those looking to begin a career cooking for some of the world's rich and famous in this

unique environment, the first step is completing a culinary diploma that provides a broad base of

skills and knowledge. Getting this training from the start will make the journey to a superyacht

chef more achievable, as you will build on the solid foundations of what you have learned and

develop into a good all-round chef. Comfortable with cooking international cuisines and

handling dietary restrictions and requests from guests and crew members.


Ongoing self-improvement and learning as a chef are vital. Keeping up to date with the latest

food trends and techniques will give you the confidence to try new things, as you will be exposed

to ingredients you have never heard of and be using produce of the highest quality. It will be an

experience that will forever change you as a chef. Learn as much as you can, and gain as much

knowledge as you can before delving into this amazing industry. Read cookbooks, try new

recipes, take masterclasses, do stages in fine dining restaurants, but don't stop learning.


A chef CV for a yachting position should demonstrate a solid training background from a

reputable school, with a progressive history of gaining experience and responsibility in positions

over time, and the approved prerequisite yachting certificates of STCW and ENG-1. There is

also now a growing requirement among captains for the Ship’s Cook Certificate.


The final step is to register your CV and food portfolio with yacht chef and crew recruitment

agencies. Ocean Earth Chefs is a chef recruitment and placement agency for yachts, villas,

chalets and households worldwide.
