The energy of culinary genius was palpable at the 2025 MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition in Sanremo, Italy this May. Top yacht chefs compete each year at the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association Charter Show (MYBA), and this year’s results are in! The 2025 culinary theme was Wellness on a Plate.

Nurturing the mind as well as the body the ancient Greeks believed that mental health and physical health were interrelated. they were right! our brain actually functions best when it receives premium fuel.
Eating high-quality foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes the brain and protects it from oxidative stress. The less processed the foods are, the better. that is what inspired us when we were choosing the theme for the 2025 MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition which is “Wellness on a Plate”.
This year we would like participating chefs to combine two things : healthiness & indulgence. And dispel the myth that… if it is good for you it can’t be absolutely (and indulgently) delicious!
SO THE CHALLENGE IS TO PREPARE A HEALTHY AND INDULGENT BRUNCH
And the Awards Go To…
