Chef Kylie

Meet Kylie, your vibrant Chef and First Mate from Johannesburg, South Africa. With a background in Fine Arts from the University of Cape Town, Kylie’s journey to the yachting world began with what was meant to be a short detour—a “gap year” working in video production for a leading cruise line. But that year evolved into a global adventure, taking her to over 70 countries and igniting a lifelong passion for hospitality, travel, and the culinary arts.

Along the way, Kylie discovered that her true joy lies in creating meaningful connections with people and sharing experiences through food. Inspired by her diverse travels and fueled by a deep appreciation for the ocean, she transitioned into the marine industry, finding the perfect canvas for her creativity aboard luxury yachts.

Kylie’s cooking is a celebration of global flavors and healthy, wholesome ingredients. Her dishes are simple yet bold, often infused with exotic twists drawn from her journeys around the world. Whether you’re craving a nourishing post-dive bowl or a beautifully plated multi-course dinner, Kylie crafts every meal with heart, imagination, and an artist’s eye.

Outside the galley, she’s a certified yoga instructor, scuba diver, avid fisherwoman, and film enthusiast—always bringing warmth and energy to every aspect of the charter experience.

With Kylie on board, every voyage becomes a blend of unforgettable flavors, soulful experiences, and the magic of life at sea.
