"There’s no quick trip to the supermarket when you’re out at sea. 🛥️

Provisioning is a big part of life as a yacht chef. Knowing what you need, how much to order and how to manage your ingredients helps keep the galley ready for whatever the charter brings.

This is where the skills become second nature. 👨‍🍳

Every dish is a chance to practise technique, build confidence and learn how to work efficiently in a professional galley environment.

Because when you’re cooking at sea, being prepared matters just as much as what’s on the plate. 🛥️
