Summary

The ideal candidate should be well-versed in managing a galley on a dual-season charter yacht. 

 

Requirements:

  • At least 2 years’ previous Head Chef experience on similar sized vessels working with a Sous Chef
  • Ship's cook certificate, F&H L3 and other relevant certificates

Salary: EUR 8100

Leave: Time-for-time rotation (8 weeks on/off).
