Charter Guide · Provisioning & Dietary
A significant part of your charter is the culinary journey. We meticulously address every dietary requirement and preference, so every meal is crafted precisely to your needs — for both safety and supreme enjoyment.
Start Early
Upon confirming your charter, you receive a comprehensive preference sheet capturing not only likes and dislikes but — crucially — any allergies, intolerances, and specific requirements for every guest. Completing it precisely directly informs our provisioning team and your onboard chef.
In a remote archipelago, specialised ingredients may not be available on short notice. Advanced communication gives our team time to source high-quality, often imported products and make arrangements with local suppliers — preventing last-minute compromises and upholding the premium standard of your experience.
Tailored Catering
Extreme vigilance — strict protocols for sourcing, storage, and preparation to mitigate cross-contamination, with dedicated utensils and surfaces where necessary.
Diverse, delectable menus for vegetarian, vegan, Paleo, Keto, or low-FODMAP — thoughtfully conceived complete meals built on abundant fresh local produce.
Certified Halal meats with no pork or alcohol in cooking; Kosher options via certified pre-packaged meals or imported ingredients arranged well in advance.
| Requirement | Key Considerations | Our Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Nut Allergy | Severe, life-threatening reactions. | Strict avoidance, dedicated prep areas, label verification, full crew awareness. |
| Gluten-Free | Avoidance of wheat, barley, rye. | GF alternatives (breads, pasta) and careful cross-contamination prevention. |
| Vegan | No animal products. | Plant-based menus, diverse protein sources, fresh local produce. |
| Halal | Islamic dietary laws. | Certified Halal meats, no alcohol in cooking, separate utensils where possible. |
| Lactose-Free | Avoidance of dairy. | Dairy-free alternatives and creative plant-based ingredients. |
| Vegetarian | No meat or fish. | Rich, varied plant-based and dairy/egg-inclusive menus. |
Quality, Even Here
Trusted local and international suppliers, sustainably caught seafood, and premium imports — a supply chain designed to maintain integrity and freshness to the highest gourmet standard.
Masters of varied cuisines, experienced in adapting to dietary needs and the unique challenges of a yacht galley — with deep knowledge of cross-contamination prevention and creative recipe modification.
A Celebration
We distinguish a medical necessity (allergy or intolerance) from a personal preference. The preference sheet captures both — from a severe nut allergy to a simple dislike of cilantro — so every meal is entirely to your liking.
With prior notice, your chef can prepare celebratory cakes, special dinners, or culinary surprises for birthdays and anniversaries — all while meticulously honouring any dietary requirements.
