Hello, My name is Lucy
With over 10 years of experience navigating the stunning waters of the Caribbean, particularly the British Virgin Islands, and the East Coast of the USA, I have honed my dual passions for sailing and gourmet cooking. My journey began by delivering boats from Cape Town to Australia, where I built the foundation of my sailing expertise. As a true thalassophile, my love for the ocean extends beneath the waves through scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling.
My culinary journey is as rich and diverse as my nautical one. I revel in the unique opportunity to craft exquisite, tailored menus for my guests aboard luxurious yachts. Each meal is a celebration of flavors, inspired by the diverse cuisines and fresh ingredients I encounter. Sharing sumptuous dining experiences and ensuring my guests feel pampered and delighted is my greatest joy.
When I'm not in the galley, I love exploring with my guests, whether hiking through scenic landscapes or snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to uncover hidden treasures of the sea. I believe in nurturing strength in both mind and body, and I achieve this by creating healthy, delicious meals that fuel our adventures.
As I embark on my final season of charter; Joining the beautiful yacht Segundo Viento, I am committed to making every moment extraordinary, drawing from my many fabulous years as a yacht chef. Following this season, I am excited to transition to my new venture, a private chef company based in the Caribbean, where I will continue to share my passion for culinary excellence.
I look forward to welcoming you on board and creating unforgettable experiences that combine the best of sea and cuisine. Let's make this voyage one to remember!
