Summary

Cooking Instructor - Yacht Culinary Courses

Are you an experienced chef with a passion for both culinary artistry and teaching? Do you have expertise in cooking techniques like hollandaise sauce, sous-vide, charcuterie, and sourdough, and a deep understanding of managing produce, especially in high-pressure environments like yachts? If so, we want you to join our dynamic team as a Cooking Instructor for our exclusive yacht culinary courses!

About the Position:

As a Cooking Instructor for our culinary program, you’ll have the opportunity to teach aspiring yacht chefs the essential skills they need to thrive in the galley aboard luxury yachts. You will lead immersive, hands-on courses designed to take students through both the art and science of gourmet cooking. The course curriculum will emphasize versatile techniques, produce management, and the best methods for working in the unique, high-demand environment.

Yacht-Specific Training: Teach students how to adapt traditional cooking methods to the constraints of working on yachts, including limited kitchen space, equipment, and handling produce in often remote locations.


Qualifications & Requirements:

Professional Cooking Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience working in professional kitchens, preferably on yachts or in a high-pressure culinary environment.

Extensive Knowledge: Expertise in modern cooking techniques, especially sous-vide, classic sauces, baking (including sourdough), and charcuterie.

Produce Management: In-depth understanding of how to source, manage, and preserve produce onboard.

Teaching Experience: Previous teaching or mentoring experience is a plus, with the ability to communicate complex cooking techniques in an easy-to-understand way.

Yacht or Marine Experience: Familiarity with working in a yacht galley or the marine industry is preferred but not required.

Passion for Teaching: Enthusiasm for helping others develop their skills and a genuine desire to mentor the next generation of yacht chefs.

Organizational Skills: Ability to manage course materials, schedule, and student progress effectively.



If you're passionate about culinary arts and want to help train the next generation of yacht chefs, send your resume, a cover letter detailing your experience, and a portfolio of your culinary work, thank you!
