Vetted positions
Most crew agencies place every role from deckhand to captain, and treat the chef like any other CV. We don't. Every placement decision at Yacht Chef Jobs is made by someone who has stood in a moving galley during a charter — so we vet for the things that actually make a placement last: temperament under pressure, provisioning discipline, and fit with the crew and the owner's palate.
Join a database of vetted yacht chefs and get put forward for roles that match your experience and ambitions. We only recommend positions we'd take ourselves, and — in line with MLC 2006 — you are never charged a fee. Browse current yacht chef jobs →
We pre-screen every candidate and send only chefs we'd personally vouch for — a vetted shortlist within 48 hours, backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee. See how hiring works →
Founded by Dean Harrison, an active working yacht chef — no recruiters who've never left dry land.
Salaries, conditions, crew culture — if it doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't make our board.
We work directly with captains and management — not through layers of agencies.
No surprise contracts, no overpromising. Honest placements that last.
