Imagine earning €6,000–12,000 a month, getting paid year-round, and collecting tips of €2,000–10,000 in a single week — all while cooking in the most beautiful places on earth.
I know exactly where you are right now — because I was there. Working hard, cooking every day, and wondering if there was something bigger waiting for you.
I started on cruise ships — long contracts, thousands of covers, a salary that felt decent until I discovered what yachting actually pays. I worked my way up from commis de cuisine to Chef de Cuisine, then made the leap to private yachting. My first position was cooking for a royal family.
Everything changed. Instead of feeding thousands of passengers from a buffet line, I was sourcing fresh truffles in Italy, lobster in the Caribbean, and wagyu in Japan — with no budget, no limits, and guests who genuinely appreciated every plate. My salary more than doubled. My life transformed.
Since then I've won two major international yacht chef competitions and shared everything I know with over 20 chefs looking to make the same move — from hotel kitchens, restaurants, and cruise ships into the world of superyacht cooking.
Honest, experience-based guidance — from someone who has lived every step of this journey.
