Yacht crew salary guide

A Yacht Chef is a position integral to ensuring that guests have an amazing yachting experience by creating unique and unforgettable meal experiences. 

Gastronomy and the art of fine dining has become as integral a part of the superyacht experience as the water itself. Superyachts offer the ultimate luxury escape, and that must be reflected in the exquisite food served to guests throughout their time onboard. A Yacht Chef is the mastermind behind creating unique and unforgettable meals. 

A yacht Chef is predominantly in charge of guest and crew meals and managing all aspects of running the galley. Superyacht guests are accustomed to eating at the best restaurants and unsurprisingly because of this, expectations can be very high. Superyacht Chefs are therefore expected to provide a wide range of cuisine, adapt to different dietary requirements, deliver high-quality food prepared upon request and keep the crew well fed.

The galley will run with different chefs depending on the size of the yacht:

• Head Chef — The Head of the galley and as such the chef responsible for all the food that is served. On some yachts this is a Sole Chef role, whilst on others the role will involve managing other Chefs.

• Sous Chef — This role works closely with the Head Chef, assisting them and potentially covering for them in their absence. Every yacht is different, so on some yachts the Sous Chef is also in charge of preparing crew food, while other yachts may have both a Sous Chef and a Crew Chef.

• Crew Chef — This role is primarily focused on cooking for the crew of the yacht. A Crew Chef is a role usually found on larger superyachts where the number of crew is greater, so a separate Chef will be employed to make sure the crew’s needs are met.

• Galley Hand — A Galley Hand is normally found on yachts over 100m in length. Depending on the type, size and itinerary of the yacht, the duties of this role can include meal prep, galley cleaning and assisting with crew food.

• Cook/Stew — This position is more common on smaller yachts and is often split between cooking and Stew duties, or assisting with Stew duties, depending on the size of the yacht. Some vessels hire a Cook/Stew in the winter to cook for the crew and help with interior duties.

What does a yacht Chef do? | Yacht Chef Job Description

The main priority for a yacht Chef is to make sure that everyone on board has an unforgettable meal. A yacht Chef has access to the best quality ingredients available, so it is up to them to use their creativity to produce the most awe-inspiring dining experience. 

A Chef onboard some of the most advanced yachts in the world has the opportunity of experimenting with some of the finest quality ingredients in the world, and often not easily acquirable on land jobs. They may be asked to spontaneously pull out ‘all the stops’ and let their imagination run wild. Or, they might be requested to provide innovative and exciting meals for guests with strict dietary restrictions. 

As a yacht Chef, adaptability is key. Some guests may want simple home cooking; if they ask for a burger, it's up to the Chef to make it the best, tastiest burger that they have ever eaten! If the guests want spaghetti carbonara, they need to make it taste like an Italian grandmother’s spaghetti carbonara! 

While Chefs still have a certain budget to stick to, one difference between working on a yacht and in a restaurant is that they don’t have to worry about trying to make a profit. All they need to do is keep the owners, guests and crew happy. 

As well as creating stand-out meals, Chefs are in charge of budget management,  provisioning, and ensuring that the galley adheres to strict standards of hygiene and cleanliness. It is their responsibility that everything runs smoothly in the galley. A Chef works closely and liaises often with the Chief Stew , to ensure that guests receive a seamless streamlined service from the galley to the table.

The responsibilities of a yacht Chef include:

Meal preparation for both guests and crew

Daily menu planning 

Liaising with the Chief Stew or Head of Service to deliver seamless service

Food provisioning and inventory checks

Organisation of the galley and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene 

Supervision of a team of Chefs (depending on the size of the yacht)

Budgeting and accounting

Soft and hard skills required to be a yacht Chef

Yacht Chefs should show real passion and enthusiasm for what they do: many successful yacht Chefs do stages and additional training during their time off. The ideal candidate demonstrates a diverse repertoire, flexible and adaptable qualities, and the ability to work well under pressure.

The skills of a good yacht Chef include:

A genuine passion for cooking

Diverse knowledge of produce and the ability to provision all over the world

Menu planning knowledge

Ability to skilfully multitask

Ability to handle criticism 

Creativity 

Presentation skills

Excellent communication skills and a positive attitude

Organization and time management skills

Cleanliness and hygiene

Flexibility and adaptability

Ability to work under pressure

Mandatory certificates needed to work on board a yacht 

All crew members regardless of position and seniority need to have a valid STCW Basic Safety Training certificate, along with a recognised Seafarers medical certificate, the most popular being the ENG1 which is issued by an MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) professional medic. 

Without these two certificates, it is not possible for crew to work on board a yacht and a Recruiter will not be able to assist you in finding work onboard a yacht.  For more information about mandatory certificates please visit our Mandatory Certificates Guide .

YACHT CHEF JOBS

What is a galley without its chef? A vital and rewarding role onboard any yacht, a yacht chef keeps all its crew, guests and owners well-fed and happy. Similar to any head chef in a restaurant, a yacht chef has to be even more creative with their talents, as they must perform their tasks on board of a moving vessel – with occasionally limited, or hard to come-by supplies. Part entertainer, full-time cook, a yacht chef will have to be aware of all dietary needs, allergies and food requirements of those on board while being able to work hard under pressure. Most yacht chefs will have likely started their career in a restaurant or hotel before making the switch to the yachting industry.

If you have excellent cooking, cleaning and management skills, together with a charismatic and solid personality, then why not apply for a position as a yacht chef? It’s recommended to start a yachting career as a crew chef, or sous chef for a few seasons before applying for a head Chef role. Browse through our full yacht chef job listings today.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

A yacht chef’s responsibilities include preparing and cooking three meals a day. Yacht chefs must also manage their food budget and deal with the galley accounts, overseeing the safe food storage and stock control. As most guests aboard any yacht are accustomed to dining at the finest restaurants around the world, a skilled yacht chef must be flexible, very skilled and be able to prepare a broad repertoire of foods from around the world. Maintaining high levels of food and personal hygiene are also key aspects of a yacht chef’s role.

YACHT CHEF SALARIES

acht chef salaries tend to vary, depending on the level of experience as well as the size and type of yacht they are working on. Head chefs’ salaries can range from €3,500 to €10,000 a month, depending on the size of the vessel. Sous chefs average pay scale varies from €3,000 to €6,000 per month. Yachts between 81m and 100m offer the highest average monthly pay for both roles.

Lucas Urruty Officer of the Watch (OOW) "I started yachting 7 years ago, from not knowing the industry at all to getting my first OOW position last year. I remember in the first stages of my training I had nobody to guide me on how or in what order or priority to do my modules. I followed the yacht route, and up until now I have always gone back to Yotspot in my career to see what requirements, sea time and courses I need and in what order as a reference. I have booked at least 4 of my modules through Yotspot and even got my current job thanks to the site. It has changed the game in our industry regarding crew, training and so much more, highly recommend! "

Household staff agency / Hire private staff / Yacht crew

Hire yacht crew

Yacht and sail boat crews are teams of highly trained and experienced professionals providing an on board care and hospitality service.  They are expected to work together towards a common goal of providing the best bespoke service for their client, their client’s family, guests and associates.

Every crew member plays a key role in providing a premium on board service. Generally, a strict hierarchy ensures that each individual is able to perform his or her tasks to the necessary level of excellence, to meet or even exceed their client’s high expectations.

On board crews are divided into two teams: one team dedicated to cabin service, and the second team focused on vessel maintenance and navigation. Mega-yachts and super-yachts may necessitate larger crews of up to 20 people.

What are the roles and responsibilities of Yacht or Sail Boat Crew ?

The yacht or sail boat captain.

The captain is responsible for operating the vessel and maintaining security. This includes managing the crew, equipment and materials, relations with the employer, their family and guests. This role is at the top of the hierarchy with every crew member ultimately answerable to the captain. 

The yacht or sail boat engineer

The engineer is responsible for technical maintenance and operations of the vessel. He or she reports directly to the captain and manages the engineering team (electricians, IT specialists, technical assistants etc.).

The yacht or sail boat first officer / chief mate

Mega-yachts, super-yachts and larger sail boats may necessitate a second in command to the captain, or even a third (a second officer).  These act as direct subordinates, many of the captain’s responsibilities may be delegated to them and they are responsible for ensuring that his or her orders are carried out.  

The yacht or sail boat head steward / stewardess

The head steward(ess) is responsible for managing and overseeing cabin crew operations on board, inclusive of stewards, cleaning and kitchen staff. They are expected to handle all client requests relating to care and hospitality services, to organise calendars, meetings and cabin crew recruitment.

The yacht or sail boat chef

Every private yacht or sail boat owner and its cabin crew take great pride in the available on board cuisine.  The chef is a crucial member of the cabin crew and contributes to creating a luxurious, five-star service and relaxing atmosphere.  They are responsible for sourcing supplies and regulating stocks, ensuring that only the freshest, best quality produce is used and is available at all times. On board chefs are also generally required to cook for the engineering and cabin crew.

The yacht or sail boat sous-chef

On larger vessels, a sous-chef is often employed to works alongside the head chef, who is often Michelin-starred. They are required to assist with cooking and cleaning duties within the kitchen.  

The yacht or sail boat skipper / sailor

The skipper or sailor is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the exterior of the yacht and assist the captain in its operation. During dockings, the skipper helps guide the captain, secures the vessel and ensures it is sufficiently protected from potential damages. Larger vessels may require up to eight skippers. 

What accommodation should be expected for a Yacht / Sail Boat crew ?

When at sea, accommodation must be provided aboard the vessel.  On land, the crew is generally expected to arrange private accommodation. Crew members may sometimes be requested to stay on board in the absence of the employer to ensure the vessel is secure and well maintained. 

All our yacht and sail boat crews are required to:

• Hold clean criminal records in both their country of employment and country of origin
• Present all certificates and qualifications from training centres and/or schools they attended
• Successfully pass two interview stages
• Provide at least three positive references from previous employers
• Complete professional dossiers containing: CV, cover letter, proof of identity (photocopy or scan), proof of address, proof of the right to work in the country of employment (if applicable), driving license and pay slips from previous professional placements.  Candidates should be aware that other documentation may also be required.
