Luxury dining on board
When you book a yacht vacation, your vessel will have a professional crew trained in five-star service in order to ensure that every meal is top-notch. This is a very important job – chefs have to be qualified and skilled in order to work on the finest yachts. The chef on your yacht charter will be skilled, creative, and eager to please and he or she will be able to whip up your favorite dishes on request.
Enjoying mouth-watering high quality, freshly prepared food will be a pleasure that will truly enhance your luxury yacht charter experience.
With a full kitchen on board and delicious local ingredients including fruits, vegetables, meats, and shellfish from the surrounding area – there’s really no limit to what a yacht chef can prepare. The key is to let your chef know about your preferences. Tell them how you prefer your breakfast and what type of cuisine you crave, whether it’s Italian, Japanese, Classic American BBQ, or anything else. If you have any special requests for certain meals while you are on the yacht – such as a cake and champagne to celebrate a birthday – they will be able to make it happen.
Yacht chefs are also able to accommodate any special diet or allergy. If you are gluten intolerant, vegan, lactose intolerant, or have any other dietary requirements, just let the chef know in advance. They will tailor the menu to your needs and make sure that you have a wide range of delicious dishes that you can enjoy. There’s no reason to let any allergy or dietary restriction stop you from enjoying a relaxing and luxurious yachting vacation.
Before you embark on your voyage on most luxury yacht charters, you will be given a sheet to fill out where you can list all of your dietary requirements and preferences. Include as much detail as possible. The more information you give your chef, the more they will be able to tailor their offerings to your specific needs.
Do you like spicy foods? Do you prefer creamy pasta sauce or tomato-based sauces? Do you absolutely hate cauliflower? Do you want fresh orange juice every morning at breakfast? Let the chef know! If you are allergic to or dislike certain foods, make sure to state them on this sheet.
Also, if you have favorite foods you can list them here too and the chef will make sure to cook the things you love during the voyage. The chef might be limited in the ingredients that they are able to source depending on where in the world you are – but if you give them enough advanced notice they will be able to prepare everything you need.
You can also let your chef know when and where you would like to enjoy your meals. For example, if you prefer to eat breakfast in bed in your cabin, or enjoy your morning coffee on the deck of the ship in the fresh air. You could even ask your yacht chef to pack you a picnic which you could enjoy on a nearby beach. With all of these specifications, every meal that you enjoy on board the ship will consist of only your favorite ingredients and will be tailor-made to your desires. After all, dining should be a pleasure and a delight!
Dining on a luxury yacht is a boutique concept, where bespoke menus are crafted using the preferences of the charter guests. Whether it’s dietary allergies, special diets, or personal likes and dislikes, chefs will cater completely to those on board and ensure each dish is perfect.
A day starts with a beautiful breakfast spread, with locally sourced fruit platters, freshly baked bread, and à la carte hot dishes. Whether you like a simple croissant, or enjoy eggs Benedict with all the sides, the chef will cook to order. Lunch, whether on board or on a nearby beach, will often be a light affair, usually with a main course and dessert, all paired with excellent wines. On the beach, you might be served dazzling salads and grilled meats or freshly caught fish, while on board more delicate dishes can be created.
It is a well-known fact that when it comes to food, fresh is best. Yet the very nature of a luxury yacht means that can often be a challenge. A yacht cruising some of the most remote Pacific or Indian Ocean islands will find sourcing specific cuts of meat or fish, or non-native fruits and vegetables difficult.
It is now common for chefs to wake early and head ashore to visit the local markets, ensuring that the produce they cook with is as fresh as it can be. The result is a truly local culinary experience, whether it’s the cured meats and fresh vegetables of Spain, the freshly caught octopus and fish of Greece, or the tropical fruits and deep-sea catches of the Caribbean. Infusion cooking or traditional dishes can be created and using what’s available means their creativity runs wild and the guests receive the freshest produce.
There is a definite move away from the heavy, rich fine dining once synonymous with the luxury yacht life, and with wellness on superyachts now becoming more sought after than ever, the food reflects this healthier lifestyle. So, while your culinary journey will be one to remember, it doesn’t have to tip the scales. With fresh produce, clever cooking techniques, and a focus on flavor, guests can nurture their bodies whilst enjoying an unforgettable culinary experience.
