Superyacht Chef

Placeholder

The Superyacht Chef was written by John Harris, a veteran chef with almost 20 years of experience working and cooking aboard yachts. Initially John spent seven years working in restaurants within the UK before landing his first job on a 59′ (18m) sailboat heading for the Caribbean.

Since then he has never looked back and has travelled over 150,000 miles around the world on a number of different yachts. The aim of the course is to cover all aspects of life for the Superyacht chef to ensure a smooth and successful transition from land to sea and recommended for all who are considering a career in the Superyacht industry.
