We are seeking an experienced Chef to join a 60m+ performance sailing yacht with an established worldwide cruising program. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys producing high-quality cuisine and is comfortable working within the demands of a busy yacht.

The owners enjoy a healthy and balanced diet and generally prefer two meals per day. They enjoy freshly baked breads in the morning and beautifully presented, high-end canapés in the evening. Strong baking skills, creativity and an ability to produce refined, fresh and health-conscious cuisine are therefore essential.

We are open to considering a more up-and-coming Chef who is looking to take the next step in their career, provided they have a strong culinary background and can demonstrate the skills required. Previous experience on large sailing yachts is not essential, although sailing experience would certainly be preferred. The ideal candidate will be organised, adaptable and confident managing menu planning, provisioning and all aspects of the galley while maintaining consistently high standards.

The yacht is due to depart the US end of November, cruising through the Caribbean and transiting the Panama Canal. The first owner trip is planned for March 2027 off the coast of California, with the yacht then likely heading north along the US West Coast for the summer. Longer-term plans include a possible Pacific crossing to New Zealand or a period in San Diego, followed by Japan.

Qualifications required: Strong culinary background, excellent baking skills and experience producing refined cuisine. Sailing yacht experience preferred but not essential.

Itinerary: Caribbean, Panama Canal, US West Coast, with potential Pacific crossing to New Zealand and Japan
