Summary

TYS Recruitment is delighted to present an exceptional opportunity for an experienced and highly skilled Sole Chef to join a fantastic 50m Private Motor Yacht, the US flag, and based out of Florida.

This stable, well-regarded private program offers an outstanding platform for a dedicated culinary professional.

  • Joining Location: Florida, USA
  • Start Date: Mid-December 
  • Salary: Dependent on Experience (DOE) – Competitive package offered.
  • Leave: 38 days of paid leave per annum.
  • Due to Flag Requirements: Only Green Card holders or U.S. Passport holders will be considered. This is a non-negotiable requirement.
  • Cabin Arrangements: Please note that due to the current cabin configuration, male candidates are preferred.

The ideal chef will possess a minimum of 2 years of solid yachting experience on vessels of a similar size (45m+). You must be a culinary chameleon, capable of catering for a vast array of cuisine styles, as both the owners and crew enjoy a wide variety in their dishes.

  • Service Requirement: You should have proven experience catering for up to 12 guests and 9 crew members.
  • Service Style: The program requires versatility, covering both sophisticated fine dining presentations for the owners and high-quality, relaxed family-style meals.

This is an enviable program offering stability and excellent crew longevity. We are seeking a chef who is naturally a team player and who will seamlessly integrate with the existing fun, healthy, and active crew.

  • Leadership: You will be joining a superb, close-knit team led by a highly competent, hands-on Captain and incredibly supportive owners who value their family time.
  • Usage: The yacht sees approximately 4-5 months of owner use per year, though this can vary. The role demands adaptability to transition between formal and casual trips, particularly during the typically busier winter season.
  • Itinerary: Cruising grounds generally encompass Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the beautiful Bahamas.

If you are a talented chef who fits this profile and is looking for a rewarding, stable private program, we encourage you to apply.
