A brand-new opportunity aboard a beautiful 44m 2022 private motor yacht based in the South of France. The boat has just changed hands and the new owners are building their team from the ground up, so this is a rare chance to shape a galley exactly how you want it from day one. The owners are a warm, down-to-earth family who genuinely appreciate good food and look after their crew. Private use only, no charter. We are looking for a confident head chef who can run a solo galley to a high standard, cooking for owners, family and guests with crew meals as part of the day. Previous yacht experience preferred. Valid ENG1 or equivalent medical, STCW Basic Safety Training and Food Hygiene Level 2 or equivalent required. Male and female applicants welcome.

Send your CV and a food portfolio when you apply.
