Ahoy there! We are setting our sights on the open seas in this fun, intensive 2 week-long Yacht Host Course. Learn everything that you need to know about hosting on private or chartered yachts, all with The Avenue flair!

Variety of dishes – see menu plan from page 6-18 here
This intensive and fun Yacht Host Course is perfect for anyone looking to complete a yacht season as a host or as an on-board cook. We will teach you a huge range of delicious dishes as well as giving you some useful hosting tips that will be invaluable when out at sea. Our experienced chefs are full of tips and tricks for what we like to call yacht-keeping (housekeeping, just at sea).
Starting with the basics all the way to dinner party food, we will teach you how to cook without a cookbook so you can transfer your skills to other recipes and create things from scratch. We will give you the opportunity to embark on your cooking journey with delicious recipes, including those for dietary requirements, and time saving techniques – just being able to save a couple of minutes on each task will really add up and make your time as a host that much easier and smooth sailing.
Every morning will start with a demonstration from our knowledgeable chefs, equipping you with the knowledge of what you will be cooking that morning. Having made and eaten your own lunch, you will then sit down for the second demonstration of the day, providing you with insight for your afternoon cook.
Each day you will learn new skills and cook different recipes, whilst mastering useful basic and then intermediate kitchen skills. From breakfasts and light lunches to sophisticated suppers all the way to kitchen organisation and hosting – you won’t believe your new found confidence in the kitchen to cook and prepare with ease. You will be able to overcome the storms that season life can throw at you so you can spend more time doing the fun stuff!
While we will help with everything that we possibly can, including having a look over your CV before applying for jobs, giving you the best chance of you bagging your dream yacht hosting job, nailing that job will boil down to you. Hard work and elbow grease will definitely be worth it when you are sat on deck watching the sunset over the crystal clear waters and silently (or not so silently, we don’t mind!) thanking The Avenue for giving you the tools you needed to achieve this wonderful job.
If you have already mastered the basics of cooking, you can join straight into week 2 for our 1 week Intermediate Cookery Course for Hosts (see here) to just spruce up your already obtained skills. If you aren’t sure if you have enough experience get in touch and we can figure out which course is best for you.
If you want to take the full 2-week course but you can’t do 2 consecutive weeks, we can take split bookings for different weeks, again just get in touch.
