Cook is a crew member on larger yachts and its main role is to
prepare meals and provide food and beverage for the guests. He
prepares meals in accordance with your wishes, if all ingredients
are available to him, but also serves meals of his choice, always
in agreement with the guest. Another task of a cook is to provide
the yacht with groceries, and anything that you might need, so make
sure you list everything necessary for your trip. If you, by any
chance run out of something, during your sailing, which is very
unlikely, please show some understanding to the cook. All cooks who
work on yachts are well educated professionals, with experience,
and are an important part of the crew. He is taking care that
everyone on board feels good about the food and sailing in general.
If you are willing to try some of our local traditional meals, you
can agree with the cook to make some, but please do ask about the
groceries he will use, in case you do not like them or you are
allergic. Also do not forget to tell the cook before you depart, if
you are allergic to some groceries, to avoid health risks.
Food supply
When chartering large yachts, most guests hire a cook, but
sometimes there are those who want to cook for themselves. In this
case, guests themselves, are in charge of providing food and
necessary groceries. Those who hire a cook must tell him all the
things they will need, as well as what they would like to eat and
drink. Another possibility is to tell us (charter agency) your
preferences and we will inform the crew or cook about it. You can
also go to shopping with one of the crew members, but no member of
the crew will ever buy supplies before you say what you like or
not. You should remember that food and drinks on board are not
included in the charter price, and at the end of your trip you will
pay certain amount to the crew. Also there is an all-inclusive
option, when you pay in advance and all food and drinks on board
are included in the price, but this is not a usual procedure for
mega yachts.
