Summary
Cook / Stewardess – 96’ Foreign-Flag Private Explorer Yacht
A unique opportunity is available for a Cook/Stewardess to join a 96’ foreign-flagged private explorer vessel with a small, close-knit crew and a calm, low-pressure guest program.
Most of the time onboard is spent with just one guest, occasionally two, and a small crew. The focus is on well-prepared, nutritious meals, a relaxed onboard atmosphere, and maintaining a comfortable, well-run interior rather than high-stress formal service.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys cooking clean, healthy food, is naturally organized, and takes pride in creating a warm, welcoming onboard environment. Expedition-style cruising means flexibility, adaptability, and a positive attitude are key.
The vessel is finishing a refit and will cruise the Bahamas before heading to more remote destinations including Halifax, Iceland, Greenland, Scotland, and beyond. This is a rare chance to be part of a true explorer program with meaningful travel and a balanced pace.

- Preparing fresh, healthy meals for the owner and crew
- Menu planning with an emphasis on nutritious, simple, well-executed food
- Managing galley operations, provisioning, and inventory
- Interior housekeeping and light service
- Supporting a relaxed, private onboard experience
- Working collaboratively within a small team in remote cruising areas
Candidate Profile
- Previous cook/stew or sole stewardess experience preferred
- Confident preparing healthy, varied meals on a yacht
