🛥 Sole Chef – 40m+ Private/Charter Yacht, Caribbean Season (€7,500/month)

🍽 Opportunity A 40m+ private and charter yacht is looking for a sole chef to start in mid-November, just as the Caribbean charter season kicks in. The vessel runs a dual-season programme, so this is the galley that follows the sun between seasons. The hook: €7,500 on the table and 43 days of leave built into the package, which is rare for a single-handed galley on a yacht this size. 👨‍🍳 Role You are the whole kitchen. Menus for guests and crew both come out of your galley, working alongside the Captain and the Chief Steward/ess. - Plan and deliver menus for guests and crew, with a Mediterranean, healthy and contemporary leaning - Provision with fresh, local, seasonal ingredients wherever the itinerary lands - Handle budgeting and stock control without a purser doing it for you - Run food safety, hygiene and waste management to yacht standards - Cook through charter and private-use periods on a dual-season programme 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Sole-chef roles on 40m+ boats are the sweet spot of yachting: big enough that guests expect restaurant-level food, small enough that the galley is yours alone. No brigade to hide behind, but also nobody rewriting your menus. A mid-November start means you step into peak Caribbean season rather than the quiet shoulder months. This is a genuine trade-up for a head chef or fine-dining sous who has the stomach for solo service and wants a monthly figure that most shore kitchens can't match. It is not for anyone who needs a team around them, or who hasn't yet got their sea papers in order. ✅ Best Fit - Chefs with proven sole or head chef experience on 40m+ yachts - Fine-dining cooks ready to run their own galley, budget and all - Cooks who like Mediterranean, healthy, contemporary food built around local produce - Self-starters who provision well under pressure in unfamiliar ports - Chefs who can be on board for a mid-November start - Those who value leave: 43 days is a real asset
