Yacht dining with private chef onboard

Tell us your event date, guest count, and the kind of meal you're picturing (intimate tasting menu, group seafood feast, or chef-led live station). This helps us recommend yachts that fit the format and propose two dining directions for you to choose between.

Our dining specialist then refines menu, wine pairing, table styling, and any dietary requirements. The chef briefs in for the day, and you arrive to find everything set.

We strictly follow marine rules and the yacht team's safety guidelines. If the captain deems the weather unsuitable for sailing on the day, we will host the dining event on the dock instead, with the same yacht, the same chef, and the same menu.

This rarely happens. For dining events we recommend booking a yacht with a spacious indoor saloon and a proper dining area so the experience flows the same whether you sail or stay docked.

It depends on yacht size and dining direction. For Yacht Dining with a Private Chef for 10 guests, plan around $2,000 to $3,000 for a mid-tier yacht (4 hour charter) plus $2,500 for the chef-led dining package (food and chef, yacht charter not included). Plan for $4,500 to $6,500 total for a 10-guest experience.

For a DIY or Crew Assisted dining event for 10 guests, you can consider a budget yacht between $1,000 and $1,700 for a 4 hour rental, with a catering menu ranging from $500 to $1,500 depending on your preferences. These are approximate figures. Actual cost depends on your specific requirements.

Not every yacht has a galley equipped for chef-led live-station service. For chef-led dining, we recommend yachts with a full galley and a deck-mounted prep station (Saint Vincent, Leviathan 8, EagleWings 3, Ms Eternity II). These vessels let our chef plate courses fresh and serve at proper restaurant temperature.

For DIY or Crew Assisted catering (where food is prepared off-yacht and served onboard), most of our fleet works. Tell your dining specialist which format you want and we will match the yacht to the menu, not the other way around.

Yes. Every chef-led menu can be adapted for halal, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, allergies (nuts, shellfish, eggs), and any other specific dietary requirements. Tell your planner the full guest list with restrictions noted, and the chef builds individual plates where needed so no guest is served something they cannot eat.

For mixed dietary groups we can also do a separate "alternative dish" track at each course so the meal still feels like one curated experience, not split tracks.

Drinks yes, food generally no. We are a chef-led dining operator, so most guests book our menu rather than bring their own. If you want a specific bottle of wine, champagne, or whisky for a toast, bring it. Corkage is included on most yachts.

One important rule: red wine is not permitted on most yachts in Singapore due to the high risk of staining teak decking and upholstery. This is industry-wide, not specific to us. Stick to white, rose, sparkling, or spirits. If you must serve red, tell us at booking and we will check the yacht's policy.
