Yacht Catering: 6 Tips for Choosing the Right Event Catering Company

The variety of private and corporate events we are asked to organise and oversee is one of the best parts of working with our prestigious clients. We handle anything from elaborate cocktail gatherings to special celebration meals.

We have expertise catering events for yachts, and we can either handle all of the cooking for an event on board or serve as a backup catering service for the head chef.

To guarantee a seamless event, choosing the best event catering company is crucial when organising a private or business yacht charter. High-quality, expert catering will make any occasion more memorable, whether you’re organising a little get-together or a large event on board. Here are six crucial things to think about when selecting a yacht catering provider that would work for your event:

1. Consider the Catering Company’s Experience with Yachts

Catering on a yacht is not the same as catering at a traditional venue. The galley may be limited, the area is smaller, and services frequently need to be provided in a more flexible or mobile way. The caterer should know how to provide outstanding cuisine and service while working within these limitations.

Selecting a catering provider with a track record of successful yacht parties is essential. We work with well-known VIP clients and blue-chip corporate brands who demand the highest level of privacy and quality assurance. MIPCOM, Cannes Lions, Cannes Film Festival, superyachts during the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Monaco Yacht Show are just a few of the events for which we have previously provided yacht catering.

Attention to detail and impeccable logistics are important because we want our clients to “wow” their guests. First impressions do matter. We can customise menus for :

Boat Shows & Regatta Parties
Cannes Congress Events, Forums & Film Festivals
Media & PR Gatherings
Product Launches
Award Ceremonies, Shipyard Dinners or Keel Laying Ceremonies

2. Menu Customisation: Tailored to Your Guests

A top-notch catering business should provide customised menus to meet the dietary needs along with the specific preferences of the client and their guests. The option to customise the menu will guarantee that your guests are pleased and impressed, whether you’re holding a business gathering on board with a sit-down dinner or a laid-back cocktail party on the aft deck with finger foods or grazing platters.

We provide bespoke catering choices that may be customised to your theme, budget, and guest requirements. These options range from regional specialities and vegan foods to fresh local seafood.

3. Quality of Ingredients

On a yacht, the ingredients need to be fresh and of the highest quality. We work with reliable suppliers and know how to source the best local produce, meats, and seafood, often directly from ports and markets. Whether your event calls for seafood platters, local cheeses, or organic greens, we pride ourselves on catering that uses fresh, local, and high-quality ingredients to guarantee the best yacht catering experience.

4. Professionalism and Service

Every superyacht has a highly qualified chef on board. However, many yachting companies or event planners outsource food for quayside parties or static yacht events where the boat stays in port due to galley space, event numbers, and cruise number constraints.

We have professional service staff who are aware of proper yacht etiquette, which includes discreet service and the capacity to operate in confined areas without interfering with the event’s flow. Serving and bar staff that are aware of the subtleties of working on a boat should provide service that complements the yacht’s luxurious environment.

To help you organise your food and drink, tabletop arrangements, and décor to enhance your event, we can liaise with the crew or charter manager.

5. Flexibility in Delivery and Timing

Weather, schedules, and itineraries could shift occasionally for boats. A trustworthy catering business should be ready to adapt to any changes in your plans and be flexible with delivery schedules. Regardless of where the yacht is docked, we guarantee that catering is supplied on time and fresh because we have experience with ports and other logistics.

6. Reviews and Reputation

One of the simplest ways to guarantee expertise and quality when picking a catering business is to read reviews and get referrals. Since our founding in 2003, Adams & Adams has built a solid reputation for providing exceptional service and making sure that the events of our yachting clients are a huge success.

Hiring reliable caterers that work in Monaco and the French Riviera is helped by word-of-mouth referrals from yacht brokers, boatbuilders or charter companies. We are pleased to receive glowing reviews from a variety of yachting companies, including Heesen, Northrop & Johnson, Ocean Independence, Ahoy Club, Royal Huisman, Superyacht Management, TWW Yachts and private superyachts.
