Summary
Sole Chef 45m+ MY
- Contract: seasonal with the possibility to go permanent (the season role will be a trial period)
- Location: Joining in West Palm | Cruising NYC & Canada (Summer Season)
- Start Date: mid-June
- Initial contract duration: 3 months
We are seeking an experienced and creative Sole Chef to join a 45m+ private MY with a crew of 10 and excellent crew longevity (most have been onboard 2+ years). This is a seasonal role with a strong possibility to become a permanent placement for the right candidate. The vessel travels to exciting locations, beyond the milk-run. This may suit a local Chef in Florida as the vessel is based out of West Palm with moderate owner use. When the owners are not onboard for trips, the crew get evenings and weekends off.
Requirements:
- B1/B2 visa in hand or American Passport/Green card
- Minimum 2 years’ yachting experience, plus relevant land-based chef background
- Confident in catering to dietary requirements and creating healthy, balanced meals
- Able to deliver varied, high-quality menus for up to 10 crew and 9 guests
- Culinary creativity is a must – owners enjoy a mix of proteins, vegetables, and high-fibre dishes without meal repetition
- Positive attitude, excellent time management, and good communication skills
Details:
- Itinerary: NYC & Canada (Owners onboard approx. 6 weeks over summer)
- Joining Port: West Palm (home berth)
- Salary: DOE USD
- Leave: 60 days per year (unpaid leave negotiable)
- Accommodation: Shared cabin
- Start: Ideally by 16th June to allow time for provisioning and familiarisation
This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive chef who enjoys cooking clean, fresh cuisine and working with a close-knit team. If the summer season goes well, there is a strong potential for a long-term role onboard.
