As the sun sets on another wildly successful MYBA (The Worldwide Yachting Association) Charter Show, we are excited to report on this year’s Top Yacht Chefs. The winners of the 2023 MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition in Barcelona have been announced. This year’s theme was Foraged Fare. *Credit to MYBA and partners who support our yacht charter industry.
Here are the guidelines for the 2023 chefs and crews who boldly threw their hats – and heads and hearts – into the ring.
The M/Y MARALA’s chef and 1st Place winner in the 51M and Over category, Mary San Pablo, worked with ingredients like wild garlic, rosehip, mulberries, thyme lavender, sea buckthorn, and sea purslane.
This impressed the CKYCI team no end but we weren’t the only ones. Here are the 2023 MYBA’s judges’ accolades. Also, many thanks to Pat Sakellari for the excellent photos of such a superb event.
MYBA Charter Show 2023 Superyacht Chefs’ Competition Results and Comments
“What a Competition it was! Elegance, innovation, jaw-dropping presentations, expert execution. It had it all.
‘Foraged Fare’ was not an easy theme and we were pleasantly surprised at the effort that the superyacht chefs had put into sourcing their ingredients. Efforts that were documented, in some cases, by scrapbooks with photographs and videos.
Our judges admitted that the decisions were hard to make but finally… they made the call.
So it gives us great pleasure to announce the results of the 2023 MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition.”
