Chef - 40m Sy - Baltic/Palma Winter - World Cruising

A private sailing yacht is seeking a Chef for a long-term position with a lovely private program and gets used by the owners and their family and friends.

You will be joining a tight-knit and professional crew working with owners who are polite, well-educated and genuinely considerate. The owner places a strong emphasis on crew wellbeing and comfort, which is reflected in the way the program is run.

In May 2027 the program moves to the US East Coast for sporadic day sailing, primarily around Newport.

Looking further ahead, plans for 2028 and 2029 include Alaska, French Polynesia, New Zealand and Antarctica.

The ideal candidate will be active and sporty, with a holistic and health-conscious approach to food where possible, and a strong understanding of varied, high-quality cuisine. This position would suit a chef seeking a long-term role within a stable, well-run and genuinely crew-focused program.
