Private Yacht Chef – Exciting Long Weekend Opportunity

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.
