The  Superyacht Culinary Course  is a 10-day course that focuses on preparing students to increase their culinary repertoire in the galley and trains them to look at food and food preparation from a completely different perspective.   This intense course covers everything you need to know about yachting, operating in the galley, food management and culinary skills and covers virtually all the practical applications for cooking in a galley, with emphasis on the modern Superyacht Industry and its typical demands in the varying roles.

The course is a highly practical course and students are required to have a reasonable level of culinary experience, although need not be formally trained.

Yacht Chef Training Course

Adapt your culinary talents to a Superyacht environment. Successful completion of this course will allow you to work as a chef on superyachts of any size anywhere in the world.

Chefs aboard Superyachts will be cooking for a very exclusive and sophisticated table. Formal training & qualification is essential, not only as a chef, but also as a member of a superyacht crew. A chef aboard a superyacht is more challenging than being a chef in land-based kitchens. It requires an aptitude for learning new produce, concepts & culinary variety.

A yacht chef must work alone unless fortunate enough to have a galley chef or sous chef onboard. Generally the chef is the source of the entire crews state of culinary satisfaction and contentedness…. as well as the owners, of course.

Yachting etiquette, hygiene and galley sanitation are essential elements of the chef superyacht training process. Provisioning is also vital be it in remote island areas where produce & some supplies are virtually impossible to procure or in a new country where ingredients are very different and come in packages that are unintelligible or unrecognisable.

A superyacht chef needs to be flexible, adaptable, creative, easy going & love the sea…and the motion that comes with it whilst under passage! The chef’s understanding of the dietary needs, allergies & alternative eating habits of the crew, owners, and guests are of primary importance to a happy vessel.

Chef’s Introduction to Superyachts

Superyacht Chef’s Introduction to Yachting is a short course for chefs and cooks with existing restaurant and hotel backgrounds. The course will give you detailed training to adapt your culinary skills to chef/steward/ess positions on superyachts.

Whether you are a Chef on a large, high profile yacht or a cook on a smaller, less-formal yacht, you will need special skills for galley management, and menu planning, including preparation and planning for extended cruises, finding and buying supplies in foreign countries where the foods, labels and spoken language may present challenges, storing the supplies in the limited space available, and confidently preparing meals while at sea.

The Superyacht Crew Academy instructors will show you how to meet these challenges and we look forward to helping you make the most of an exciting and rewarding career aboard superyachts..
