Fine Dining at Anchor
Our private chef on a yacht brings fine Italian cooking to your charter. Lunch at anchor in a quiet bay, dinner on deck at sunset, breakfast before the first swim: every meal is designed around your guests, the route and the fish of the day.
Cooking in a yacht galley is a craft of its own: small spaces, limited storage, a boat that moves. Chef Lucia d’Aloisio Mayo and the Cookinart team plan menus and provisioning with this in mind, and work alongside the captain and crew so that everything runs smoothly.
Whether you are looking for a yacht chef in Italy for a day charter or a whole week, discover all our private chef services in Rome and across Italy.

Private Chef on a Yacht: FAQ
Can we book a private chef on a yacht for a day charter?
Yes. We cook for day charters, with lunch at anchor and aperitivo on deck, as well as for charters of several days.
Does the chef stay on board for longer charters?
Yes. On charters of several days, your private chef on a yacht sleeps on board, so breakfast, lunch and dinner are always ready, wherever you drop anchor.
Which areas of Italy do you cover?
We work along the Italian coast and islands: the Pontine Islands, the Amalfi Coast and Capri, the Argentario, Sardinia, Sicily and Liguria. Tell us your route.
Is provisioning included?
We take care of the shopping for the menus we agree with you. Tell us how your charter handles provisioning and we will organise it accordingly.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Tell us about allergies, intolerances and preferences before departure, so the provisioning is right from day one.
Do you work with charter companies and captains?
Yes. Charter brokers, yacht owners and captains can contact us directly to arrange a private chef on board for their guests.
Do you speak English?
Yes. We arrange everything in English, from the first email to the last meal on board.
