Please welcome our fantastic line-up of superyacht chefs for the 2022 chef competition with the Monaco Yacht Club.
Bluewater, with La Belle Classe Academy training school at the Monaco Yacht Club, is excited to be bringing back the Superyacht Chef Competition on 7th April.
We are bringing together talented chefs for an exciting day of competition, followed by a prize giving ceremony and an open bar.
Attendance is limited and RSVP is essential, but if you would like to attend please send us an email confirming your name, email and position held onboard (if yacht crew).
For those not in the area, the event will be live streamed from our Facebook page, keep an eye out for more details.
See our full line-up of the MOF & Michelin star chefs on our judges panel.
The chefs will be given a TOP SECRET bag of ingredients by Maison del Gusto seconds before they start cooking, they then have 40 minutes to take additional top-shelf ingredients from MdG’s fully stocked pantry and create a dish to wow our esteemed jury of MOF and Michelin star chefs.
So no pressure then…

Sharon Rose, our recruitment specialist focusing on galley placements, can’t believe this is the 11th year of the chef competition "back in the day we used to host this under the arches at Port Vauban in Antibes, it was a very different day but we had some fun times, and a lot of laughs.
I’m so happy to see how this event has evolved. and this year we have 2 female chefs joining the event which is brilliant.’’
