Why Most Chefs Fail to Break Into Yachting (and How to Do It Right)
Every year, hundreds of talented chefs try to trade the kitchen grind for a life at sea, and most never make it.
Not because they’re bad cooks.
But because they start blind.
They take expensive courses that teach unnecessary and useless things.
They send CVs to the wrong agencies.
They show up to the docks unprepared and get sent home.
Here is a secret, becoming a yacht chef isn’t about luck or connections.
It’s about knowing exactly how the industry works, what certifications matter, and how to make yourself the chef every yacht wants onboard.
That’s what this course gives you... the truth, the roadmap, and the shortcuts from someone who’s lived it for 13 years.
Becoming a Yacht Chef is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
