Rotational Sole Chef, 50m Private and Charter Motor Yacht

We are seeking an experienced and highly organised Rotational Sole Chef for a 50m private and charter motor yacht, offering an 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off rotation, starting mid December 2026.

Winter cruising in South Florida and the Bahamas, with a potential Mediterranean season in summer 2027.

The yacht has a well-established, close-knit crew and an excellent working atmosphere, which the Captain considers a top priority. A positive attitude, strong teamwork and the ability to integrate seamlessly into the existing crew are essential.

A strong charter background as a Sole Chef is mandatory, along with excellent knowledge of international cuisines, American-style food, dietary requirements and allergies.

The yacht operates with two owners with different preferences and entertaining styles. Exceptional organisation, flexibility and forward planning are crucial, as guest numbers may increase significantly at very short notice. The Chef must be resourceful, able to improvise with available provisions and consistently deliver excellent food under pressure.

Extensive provisioning knowledge in South Florida, the Bahamas, New England and the Mediterranean is paramount, including familiarity with local suppliers and provisioning logistics.

Candidates must demonstrate a stable employment history, excellent references and the ability to manage all aspects of the galley independently.

A valid Ship's Cook Certificate, US B1/B2 visa, STCW certificates, medical certificate and all relevant documentation are mandatory.

Applicants must provide an updated CV, a comprehensive food portfolio and sample menus covering two weeks of charter, demonstrating culinary versatility and the ability to accommodate different guest preferences and dietary requirements.

All references will be thoroughly checked.

We are looking for a talented, proactive and adaptable Chef who values teamwork as much as culinary excellence.
