Summary
120’ Motor Yacht Private Program
Start Date: ASAP
Location: Joining in Palm Harbour
Cruising: Florida → Bahamas/Caribbean winter → Med Summer 2026
Overview
M/Y is seeking a calm, professional Chef to join a stable and well-run private 120’ program. The yacht operates with 5 full-time crew and is based year-round in Baker’s Bay, with high but manageable owner usage.
The owner comes onboard alone 90% of the time, staying for 1–2 months at a stretch. He prefers individually plated meals only (never family-style) and does not eat dessert unless he is hosting guests. The program is consistent, copy-and-paste in nature, and not adventurous, making this role perfect for someone who enjoys a slower, steady, and predictable pace.
Between trips, the yacht returns to the U.S. for a couple weeks to provision, reset, and complete any maintenance. Crew enjoy access to full marina facilities in Baker’s Bay, including the pool, jacuzzi, gym, and more. In their downtime, the team is very outdoorsy — they enjoy fishing, spearfishing, hunting, and generally being on the water.
Male or female candidates welcome. Florida-based preferred but not essential. The vessel will be in the Mediterranean for the summer 2026 season.
Key Responsibilities
- Plated, beautifully presented meals for the owner (primary focus) and guests when onboard
- Healthy, balanced crew meals — captain prefers clean, nutritious options
- Thoughtful provisioning and planning for long owner stays
- Maintaining an exceptionally organized, clean galley
- Supporting the team during long-haul passages with a calm, professional attitude
Role Requirements
- Minimum 2 years of yachting experience
- Strong knowledge of gluten-free cooking and dietary restrictions
- Excellent galley organization and cleanliness
- All certifications up to date
- Must be legal to work in the U.S.
- Salary: DOE
Additional Notes
Start date is ASAP so the chef can provision after a 2.5-month usage period and acquire all tools and prep items while the vessel is stateside.
Chef has their own cabin.
