Register for Future RolesFounded by Dean Harrison, an active working yacht chef. Every placement decision is made by someone who has lived the lifestyle — no recruiters who've never left dry land.
We only list positions we've personally assessed. Salaries, conditions, crew culture — if it doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't make it onto our board.
We work directly with captains and management companies — not through layers of agencies. Your CV lands with the right person, fast.
We set expectations clearly on both sides. No surprise contracts, no overpromising. Just honest, straightforward placements that last.
"As a fellow chef himself, Dean truly understands the intricacies of our profession — from the high-pressure kitchen environment to the specific needs of clients looking for top culinary talent."
Don't take our word for it — hear from the chefs and captains who've worked with us.
"Dean kept my CV on hand and forwarded it directly to the captain when the position became available. Thanks to him, I secured my role on 60m M/Y Come Together and it has been the perfect fit."
"Dean moved quickly, finding both a full-time crew chef and securing a temp head for a charter. I highly recommend Dean's services — they are the top in the industry in my experience."
"The experience was smooth and straightforward from start to finish. He was always approachable, easy to communicate with, and very transparent. His honest, no-pressure approach made all the difference."
