Summary

We are seeking an experienced Sole Chef to join a Private 45m Explorer Motor Yacht for an extensive world-cruising itinerary. This role would best suit a skilled and passionate chef looking to combine their culinary career with the adventure of world travel. With a carefully planned two-year itinerary exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations, this opportunity offers a unique and rewarding experience for the right candidate.


Our ideal candidate is culinary trained with a few years of yachting experience. He/she will be responsible for the overall management of the galley department, menu planning, provisioning, and cooking for 7 crew and 10 guests.


We are seeking a highly organized and efficient candidate with strong multitasking abilities, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. Our ideal candidate is adaptable and skilled in a variety of cuisines, capable of creating exciting, fresh menus for both guests and crew. Confidence in sourcing local ingredients in remote locations is essential, along with resourcefulness and the ability to efficiently plan for extended periods between provisioning.


Many of the crew onboard have worked for the owner for a long time, so crew retention is HIGH.


The owning family is highly adventurous and enjoys engaging with the crew, making this an exciting role for someone who is sociable and professional. Expect a hands-on, exploration-filled experience that requires enthusiasm, adaptability, and a love for creating great experiences for the guests.


The ideal candidate is an experienced chef who is passionate about their craft, thrives in an adventurous setting, and enjoys being part of a professional yet relaxed team. We value individuals who are down-to-earth, friendly, and caring, with a great sense of humour and good banter with an easy-going personality.


The yacht fosters a strong teamwork mentality, and everyone chips in to help where they can to maintain a supportive and professional atmosphere. The captains prioritize crew well-being and mental health while maintaining a fun and collaborative working environment.


Itinerary Central America - winter 25/26, South Pacific, Australia - summer 26, Australia, Indonesia - winter 26/27, Philippines and Japan - 2027 onwards. 


This is an incredible opportunity to join a world-cruising explorer yacht with a fantastic team and a wonderful owner. If you are ready for an exciting new challenge, we would love to hear from you!
