Job description:

A recently launched private 80m motor yacht is seeking a highly experienced Rotational Head Chef to join as the second rotational head chef in a well-established galley team.

The principals are highly health-conscious and expect food that is refined, beautifully presented, and full of flavour, while always maintaining a strong focus on nutrition and balance. The successful candidate must be equally confident delivering fine dining, family-style meals, and health-focused cuisine to an exceptional standard.

The role is guest-focused, catering exclusively for the principals and their guests (up to 12), while two experienced sous chefs rotate to manage crew food and support the galley operations. The owners will use the vessel extensively during the summer season, with up to 12 consecutive weeks onboard , making this a busy and demanding role durin
