Bluewater can tailor courses specifically to suit your needs should you wish to develop your culinary skills...and the good news is that they are launching their chef training school this summer, offering three new courses guaranteed to suit all tastes and spice up every kitchen!

seasoned chef course
3 day course €650
Every year we see an influx of highly talented and well-trained chefs, sous-chefs and cuisiniers from the hotel and restaurant trades coming into the yachting industry.
Attracted by the prospects of a life at sea, by the often generous wages, or simply by the challenge of a different way of life.
Most Chefs are not prepared for the realities of life at sea: the galley seems impossibly small and everything moves! They may be working alone, expected to menu plan with the guests, budget, source and order top quality provisions, prep, cook and clean up...
How can this be done when the yacht is always moving?
Sometimes you are not even told your next destination...
Our Master Chef has vast experience and knows the tricks of the trade to provide high class yacht catering in every location. Save yourself a lot of stress and get the head start needed to get your first position in the yachting industry.

galley foundation course
5 day course €950
One of the great challenges of working on a yacht, especially on the under 35 metre range is the variety of tasks that crew are expected to perform. In many cases the chef in the galley has no or little formal training and often has other responsibilities onboard.
This course is intended to fill this gap. In a five-day intensive programme you will learn the fundamentals of how a professional galley should be run. In our galley simulator you will be trained to produce quality food in the sort of cramped conditions typical on a yacht.
The course is ideal for smaller yacht chefs and larger yacht crew cooks.
For any interior (or deck) crew wishing to give their CV an edge over the others in this competitive job market then the Galley Foundation course is the one for you.

creative canapés course
1 day course €250
An exciting & fun filled day of canapé discovery, learn how to challenge yourself & delight your guests whatever the situation.
On this course you will learn a variety of skills giving you the confidence to explore & develop your own ideas. You will learn about cold canapés, savoury pastry canapés and a few sweet treats. The course will also teach you about cheese varieties and presentation.

They also provide one day specialised courses for all ages to help
you gain confidence and develop creativity in areas like Italian, French and Asian Specialities, pastries, finger food, fusion food, bio products, healthy eating, BBQs and desserts.
