Summary

SuperCrew Wanted - Private Superyacht Chef – Keto Cuisine Specialist

A prestigious private superyacht is seeking an experienced, creative, and health-focused Chef to join our crew as we cruise the stunning West Coast of the USA — from sun-kissed Southern California to the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

About the Role:

We are looking for a culinary artist with expertise in ketogenic (keto) cuisine, capable of delivering gourmet, nutritionally balanced meals that are both indulgent and aligned with a low-carb lifestyle. You'll be preparing meals for a small number of discerning guests, in addition to up to 8-10 crew, who prioritize wellness without sacrificing flavor or variety.

What You’ll Do:

  • Plan and execute daily keto-focused menus for guests & crew (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks)
  • Source fresh, local, organic ingredients from ports along the coast
  • Cater to specific dietary needs and preferences - natural sugar alternatives in particular.
  • Maintain a clean, organized galley to yacht-standard hygiene
  • Occasionally assist in hosting onboard events or themed dining experiences

You Are:

  • A professionally trained chef with a strong background in keto or low-carb cuisine
  • Experienced working in high-end, private environments (yachts, estates, or luxury hospitality)
  • Creative, flexible, and calm under pressure
  • Passport-ready with valid B1/B2 Visa, STCW and ENG1 certifications (or willing to obtain)
  • Able to work independently and collaboratively with established crew

Bonus:

  • Knowledge of sustainable sourcing
  • Familiarity with California and Pacific Northwest regional ingredients

Perks:

  • Competitive compensation
  • All living and travel expenses covered
  • Incredible coastal views daily
  • A chance to fuse health-conscious cooking with luxury yachting
