About mymuybueno

mymuybueno is a global luxury hospitality and yacht crew agency, renowned for representing exceptional talent and partnering with discerning owners, captains, and management companies worldwide. We are currently seeking an experienced Male Sole Chef for a prestigious 52m Sanlorenzo private motor yacht (commercially registered), with a Korean owner based in Kazakhstan and a Croatian Captain and crew. This is an ASAP start for the right candidate, with a strong focus on culinary excellence, discretion, and professionalism.

About the Role

You will be the Sole Chef on board, responsible for all culinary operations for both owner/guest and crew. The yacht will be cruising primarily in the Mediterranean. You will design and deliver refined, contemporary cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and an ability to cater to Korean/Asian as well as international tastes. This role requires a calm, organised chef who can work independently, maintain high standards under pressure, and communicate effectively with a multicultural team.

What You’ll Be Working On

You will plan and execute all menus for owner trips, guest charters, and daily crew meals; manage provisioning and galley budgets in line with a commercially registered 52m operation; maintain an immaculate galley and food safety systems; and collaborate closely with the Captain and interior team to deliver a seamless, luxury guest experience.

Who You Are

You are an experienced yacht Sole Chef or seasoned Sous transitioning confidently into a sole role on vessels of similar size, with a solid background in high-end restaurants, luxury hospitality, or private households. You are highly organised, solutions-focused, and used to working in a compact, marine galley. You understand the expectations of UHNW principals, are sensitive to cultural preferences (particularly Korean/Asian palates), and are comfortable adapting to changing plans and itineraries at short notice. You maintain a professional, discreet demeanour on and off duty, and you enjoy being part of a close-knit crew environment with a Croatian-led team.

Why Join mymuybueno & This Yacht

Through mymuybueno you will be joining a carefully curated network of top-tier yacht professionals, with ongoing support from an experienced shore-based team who understand both the culinary and yachting worlds. This 52m Sanlorenzo offers the opportunity to run your own galley with genuine creative input into menus and provisioning, while working with an established Captain and crew. You will benefit from a structured, professional environment with clear expectations, the chance to build a long-term relationship with an appreciative owner, and to showcase a refined, globally inspired style of cuisine in some of the Mediterranean’s most desirable cruising grounds.
