Yacht Chef jobs on superyachts

A yacht galley is small, moving, and provisioned in whatever port you happen to be in. Guest chefs work to preference sheets, allergies and a standard set by restaurants ashore; crew chefs feed eleven people on a budget and quietly hold morale together.

Food hygiene certification is expected everywhere. Beyond that, boats hire on a trial and on your ability to plan around provisioning windows, not on plating photographs.
