The YC Interiors Superyacht Chef Competition is Back

YC Interiors by Yacht Chandlers is joining forces with Bluewater to serve up the long-awaited return of the Superyacht Chef Competition, and this year's event promises to be more prestigious and high-octane than ever before.

Nine of the world's most talented superyacht chefs are stepping up to the challenge on April 7th at the Monaco Yacht Club. The ingredients that await them will be kept firmly under lock and key until the starting whistle sounds, then they will have only 40 minutes to create a dish that will astound, delight and excite the esteemed jury of MOF and Michelin star chefs.

The challenge is huge. But with incredible prizes, a highly prestigious award for the winner, and a very special gift from YC Interiors for all participants and the jury on the table, there's everything to play for. 

Join the teams from YC Interiors, the yachting industry's leading bespoke interior outfitting service, Bluewater and other sponsors in-person or watch live streaming of the event here.

This exceptional event may just change the face of superyacht cheffing forever and you don't want to miss the splash.
