Job description

ROTATIONAL CHEF | PRIVATE OYSTER 885 | GLOBAL CRUISING PROGRAMME | MID-NOVEMBER START

We're looking for a talented Chef to join a busy private sailing programme with an exciting few years ahead.

This is far more than a seasonal role. The programme combines long-range cruising, fantastic owner trips, and some incredible destinations. Following a refit period in the UK this autumn, plans include the Caribbean, a Panama Canal transit, Pacific cruising, and a season in Hawaii.

The owners are passionate sailors who spend significant time onboard and enjoy being part of the experience. They're engaged, approachable, and invested in the programme, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with owners and becoming part of a long-term team.

We're looking for a Chef who can produce exceptional food without making things overly complicated. Someone who is organised, adaptable and enjoys life onboard a sailing yacht. Whether it's relaxed family-style dining at anchor, entertaining guests, or preparing meals during a passage, you'll take pride in delivering consistently high standards.

This is a well-established programme with a fully rotational crew structure and a strong emphasis on professionalism, teamwork and longevity.

Chef Requirements:

• Strong all-round culinary skills with the ability to adapt to owner preferences
• Organised, proactive and capable of managing provisioning in remote locations
• Positive attitude and strong attention to detail
  

The Package:

• Rotational position (currently 2:2, with flexibility being discussed for Pacific cruising)
• Performance-related bonus
• One professional training course each year
• Long-term opportunity within a stable private programme
• Owners who genuinely value their crew and invest in the programme
