Yacht Chef | Mediterranean Cuisine Specialist | Sea-Loving Culinary Creative
With over six years of experience as a yacht chef and a lifelong passion for Mediterranean cuisine, I bring a unique blend of culinary creativity, professionalism, and cultural hospitality to every charter. I specialize in light, fresh, and flavorful dishes rooted in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and global coastal traditions—always crafted with local ingredients and a deep respect for quality olive oil and seafood.
My journey began on the shores of Bodrum, a world-famous yachting town, where I grew up surrounded by the sea and fresh garden produce. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise through hospitality management education in Florida, culinary workshops, and practical experience hosting over 800 guests from around the world.
As a yacht chef, I thrive in both discreet and interactive charter environments, curating thoughtful meals and experiences that reflect guests’ preferences while introducing them to the regional flavors of the sea. My versatile approach includes seafood paella, mezze platters, vegan innovations, and Caribbean-Creole specialties—always served with a personal touch and love.
