Nine chefs working on 40+m superyachts have a rendezvous with the Superyacht Chef Competition, presided by the three-Michelin star Chef Yannick Alléno, surrounded by gastronomy experts and supervised by Chef Joël Garault, President of Goûts et Saveurs. Held under the aegis of YCM’s La Belle Classe Academy training centre, the competition puts the spotlight on gourmet cuisine at sea, another facet of yachting professions. Fully supported by their owners and crew who always come along to encourage them, contestants have to come up with dishes from a basket of mystery ingredients while complying with the contest’s anti-waste criteria. It is all part of the ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ approach, initiated by YCM to position the Principality as a destination synonymous with excellence and sustainability in the sector.

9 chefs de super-yachts de plus de 40 mètres se donnent rendez-vous à l’occasion du Superyacht Chef Competition, présidé par le Chef Yannick Alléno, trois étoiles au Guide Michelin, entouré de spécialistes de la gastronomie et sous la supervision du Chef Joël Garault, Président de Goûts et Saveurs. S’inscrivant dans le cadre de « La Belle Classe Academy », le centre de formation du Y.C.M., ce concours culinaire a pour ambition de mettre à l’honneur la gastronomie en mer, une autre facette des métiers du Yachting. Bénéficiant du soutien de leur armateur et de l’équipage qui assistent au concours pour les encourager, les concurrents doivent élaborer la meilleure assiette à l’aide d’un panier mystère et en tenant compte d’un critère anti-gaspillage.
