Amazing yacht rental experience. Ben was great on board, helpful, friendly and on top of everything. Everything went perfect, and the jet skis were superior. Will definitely be back.

PRIVATE CHEF IN FORT LAUDERDALE
Private Yacht Chef Fort Lauderdale
A private yacht chef boards the yacht with your group and cooks everything fresh on board throughout the charter. Unlike yacht catering, which is delivered to your boat before departure, the private chef experience means every dish is prepared to order, plated with care, and served as part of a curated culinary experience. The result is closer to fine dining on a luxury yacht, with a better view and complete privacy.
Our private chef services in Fort Lauderdale cover every detail from provision to plating. Menu design, ingredient sourcing, galley setup, and full onboard dining with professional service are all handled by our team. Your chef arrives at the marina before boarding so everything is ready the moment your group steps on deck, whether you depart from Bahia Mar, Las Olas Marina, or Pier Sixty-Six.
Available for birthday celebrations, dinner cruises, bachelorette parties, corporate events, wedding charters, Fort Lauderdale yacht parties, and intimate dinners for two. Whether you are cruising the mansion-lined Las Olas Isles or anchored off the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef, our private chef yacht services run across our full fleet of 55+ yachts in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Private Yacht Chef Questions Answered

Every menu is fully customizable based on your group's preferences and dietary needs. We also accommodate food allergies and specific dietary requirements across all styles.
- What is the difference between yacht catering and a private chef?
- Yacht catering means food is prepared by our chef team and delivered to your yacht at the marina before departure. Platters, grazing boards, and entrees are set up before you sail. A private chef boards the yacht with you and cooks everything fresh on board throughout the charter. The private chef service is more intimate and better suited to occasions where the dining experience is the centrepiece of the day.
- Which Fort Lauderdale marinas does the chef board from?
- Your chef meets the yacht at your selected departure marina, most often Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Las Olas Marina, or Pier Sixty-Six. The chef arrives before boarding, sets up the galley, and has everything prepared before your group steps on deck. We coordinate the timing around your charter and your marina.
- Is the chef exclusively for our group during the charter?
- Yes. Your personal chef is dedicated exclusively to your group for the entire charter. They board the yacht before departure, cook everything fresh on board, and manage all plating and service throughout. There is no shared kitchen and no other groups. The chef experience is entirely private.
- Do you handle food allergies and dietary restrictions?
- Yes. Food allergies and dietary restrictions are collected in advance and addressed across the full menu. Our chefs are experienced with allergen management in on-board kitchen environments and ensure that all guests can eat safely and comfortably. Just let us know when booking.
- How much does a yacht rental with a private chef in Fort Lauderdale cost?
- Yacht charters in Fort Lauderdale start from $1,500 for four hours, and the private chef is added on top of the charter based on your menu, group size, and cuisine style. Share your date and group size and we send a full quote with the yacht and chef combined so there are no surprises.
