🌴 Sole Chef – New-Build 92ft Yacht, Fort Lauderdale & Bahamas

🍽 Opportunity M/Y LUMO is a brand-new, 2024-built 92-foot Sanlorenzo — Italian design, a four-person crew, US-flagged, based out of Fort Lauderdale for a mix of private and charter work through South Florida and the Bahamas. The owners want a Sole Chef starting mid-October, and the posting is blunt about the kind of person they don't want: "not suited for those distracted by social media." What they're offering in return is $6,500 a month and a boat still new enough that everything in the galley works the way it's supposed to. 👨‍🍳 Role — Sole Chef, M/Y LUMO - Handle menu planning, provisioning and meal preparation for guests and a crew of four - Present every meal to charter standard, not just private-owner standard, since LUMO runs both - Keep the galley clean, organized and fully inventoried on a boat with no second chef - Deliver on both everyday crew meals and guest-facing dining with equal polish 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Fort Lauderdale is yachting's US hub, with the Bahamas a short crossing away for charter runs through the kind of turquoise water most people only see in screensavers. What makes LUMO specifically interesting is that it's a near-new build on a respected Italian hull, which means fewer galley workarounds and more time actually cooking. Splitting time between private and charter guests is a genuine skill-builder — a charter week demands a different kind of showmanship than a quiet private cruise. This is a strong step for a chef who already has charter-yacht experience and wants a newer boat with a serious, professional crew culture; the "no social media distraction" line in the posting reads as a signal about the focus expected, not just a throwaway warning. ✅ Best Fit - Chefs with charter yacht background who want to work a newer, well-specced vessel - US passport or Green Card holders ready to be based out of Fort Lauderdale - Chefs who can shift smoothly between everyday crew cooking and guest-facing charter presentation - Someone professional, discreet and comfortable with a small four-person crew dynamic - Chefs ready to start mid-October and settle into a permanent, not seasonal, yacht role - Not a fit for anyone without prior charter experience — it's stated as required, not preferred
