Luxury Crewed Yacht Charter Chefs: Culinary Competition Winners 2016
The talented yacht charter Chefs of the Caribbean competed for the right to claim their place in the spotlight at three charter yacht broker shows in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and in Antigua in November & December. Let's take an in-depth look at the winners at each yachting event and honor their efforts. We've posted links to catamaran, sailboat and motor yacht crewed sailing charter vacation website. Yacht Charters Guru has been honored with 11 Culinary Competitions wins at past charter yacht events. Yes! We definitely support & promote crewed yacht charter Chefs!
First, let's take a look at the winners in the USVI:
The VICL Culinary Contest always chooses a unique local ingredient to test the Chef's knowledge of island cuisine. This year, the judges were required to use Tamarind in their presentations.
First Place in the VICL Culinary Competition was awarded to Alisson Shivone on Catamaran PENTILSEA II, Second Place was captured by Denise De Almeida on Catamaran BELLA VITA and Third Place went to Erin Kalafski Catamaran RAVEN.
The Crewed Yacht Charter Cocktail Hour Competition Winners were: First Place- Catamaran FRANGINES- Ryan Querry and Second Place Catamaran RAVEN- Luke Furnas
CYBA- The Charter Yacht Brokers Association has made great strides in promoting the use of all the yacht's onboard reverse-osmosis water systems, thereby reducing the amount of plastic water bottles being disposed in the islands. This year's winners for the creative infused "homemade" water contest were Catamaran NEMO with runners up Catamaran MANGO & Catamaran MAKAI closely following. An honorable mention was awarded to catamaran ISLAND R&R.
This year's crews really got into the swing of Mardi Gras with a costume contest! First Place was awarded to Catamaran ZEPHYR's Matt Miles, Second Place to Monohull Sublime's Chef Stephanie Johnson and Third Place to Capt. Bill Pickney onboard Catamaran LADY DEE

About Us: Captain Randy & Shelly Tucker
We're former Owners & Captain of the Award-winning 72' yacht Three Moons for 18 years. With over 300 charters in our logbook, we currently represent privately crewed Caribbean sailing luxury yacht charters as professional CYBA yacht charter brokers. Recently, we interviewed over 120 catamarans, motor yachts, sailboats and professional crews. We're happy to promote these yachts offering modern conveniences & unlimited pleasure while sailing the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands.
What should you expect from a luxury crewed yacht charter in the Caribbean? It's "all about you, all the time" onboard a privately crewed charter boat! It's surprisingly affordable too! Far away from overcrowded cruise ships, all-inclusive charter yachts allow you to explore some of the Caribbean’s most exclusive areas and delight in the natural, unspoiled beauty of secluded islands, hidden coves and secret dive sites. Sail to a nearby island every day & snorkel around your own private beaches; enjoy your favorite cocktail while watching the sunset on your own private yacht; indulge yourself with 5-star gourmet cuisine that is prepared with Caribbean flair and served in the most beautiful surroundings you could ever imagine.
We love matching the right crew & yacht with you!
