Life as a superyacht chef is often seen as glamorous, but the reality behind the galley tells a very different story.

In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, speaks with superyacht chef Rebecca Yewdall about the true demands of working across the global yachting industry, from stepping into last-minute roles and managing high-pressure galley environments to balancing family life with an unpredictable career at sea.

This conversation explores what it really takes to succeed as a freelance yacht chef, including provisioning challenges, emergency placements, and the expectation to deliver exceptional standards regardless of the circumstances.

It also moves beyond the galley into wider industry issues, including crew welfare, hiring expectations, retention challenges, and the need for stronger support systems across the superyacht sector.
