An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced private chef to work aboard a luxury yacht serving one principal. This has the potential to become a regular, highly compensated role for the right candidate.
The weekend begins on Thursday at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, where you’ll be responsible for provisioning, meal planning, and sourcing the highest-quality ingredients. Strong knowledge of the Malibu, Oxnard, and Santa Barbara areas is essential, along with established local resources.
The principal follows a clean, healthy, keto-based diet, and you should be comfortable creating exceptional meals that reflect those preferences.
Schedule:
Thursday: Provisioning, sourcing, and meal prep
Friday: Lunch and dinner
Saturday to Sunday: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
While there is only one principal aboard, he often entertains up to 8 guests over the weekend. In addition, you’ll prepare meals for 8 crew members on Saturday and Sunday.
Flexibility is a must, as departure times are often confirmed at the last minute. You should be adaptable, organized, and ready to go when it’s time to set sail.
Previous experience working for high-profile principals is strongly preferred. You should also be confident working in a yacht galley, which requires a different skill set than a traditional residential kitchen.
If you love being on the water and are looking for a unique, fast-paced culinary opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

Our client just wrote their wish list: we thought we would share it!!! Simple delicious Italian food is the primary cuisine we eat. 
My girls also like asian flavors on occasion and chicken is big in our house so we like lots of different seasoning styles for that like jerk or soy – that kind of thing.  But for day to day- both northern and southern italian style cooking and most importantly using fresh and organic ingredients. 
Ideally during the school year we would like lunches packed for the girls and we would like to have someone come early and do simple healthy breakfast and pack the lunches and then come back later to make after school snack and then dinner.  Some days it could be lunch instead of dinner. 
Would also like someone who is flexible and would be willing to work some weekend dinners when needed. Someone in the mind set of making sure the family is fed and supplied as needed.
