Welcome!

At Captains & Crew, we connect talented culinary professionals with yacht owners and charter companies throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.

Our clients are looking for cooks with incredibly diverse profiles: from experienced yacht chefs with fine dining backgrounds to passionate home cooks who create delicious, heartwarming meals. Each galley has different needs—some seek Michelin-level expertise, others value warmth, reliability, and the ability to create memorable family-style dishes.

This form may seem detailed, but don’t be intimidated! We gather comprehensive information because it allows us to find the perfect match between your unique culinary style and our clients’ specific tastes and requirements. Whether you’re a trained professional chef, a restaurant cook ready for a career change, or a talented home cook with genuine passion and skill, there’s a galley waiting for you.

We place:

  • Experienced yacht chefs on luxury vessels
  • Restaurant professionals transitioning to maritime cooking
  • Skilled home cooks for private family yachts
  • Culinary school graduates starting their yachting careers
  • Entry-level galley assistants eager to learn

These detailed questions help us understand what makes your cooking special—your style, your strengths, your preferred cuisines—so we can connect you with the right yacht, crew, and owners where your talent will be truly appreciated.
