The Role

A 34m private/charter motor yacht is seeking a Sole Chef for the upcoming Mediterranean season.

The yacht runs a mainly charter programme with occasional owner trips, so the role will suit a chef who enjoys the pace of charter while maintaining flexibility for owner preferences.

The position is Palma-based, with the chef living ashore when the yacht is not in use.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing all galley operations
• Menu planning for guests and crew
• Provisioning and budgeting
• Preparing high quality meals for charter guests and crew
• Maintaining cleanliness and organisation within the galley

This is a seasonal position until October, offering €6,000 per month plus tips.

Onboard Ethos & Crew Fit

The yacht operates with a professional and easy-going crew dynamic and is looking for a chef who is organised, positive and adaptable.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Work well as part of a small team
  • Be calm and efficient during busy charter periods
  • Maintain a high standard of presentation and consistency
  • Have a proactive and positive attitude onboard

A chef who enjoys the variety of charter while maintaining strong guest standards will suit the programme well.
