Meals, drinks, and snacks​

​At Sailing Chef, we are proud to have a Chef with exceptional qualities dedicated to providing our guests with the best culinary experience. Our Chef is passionate about finding the freshest local ingredients and the tastiest fish of the day to cook up delicious meals for you.

 

We also understand that everyone has different preferences and dietary restrictions, so our Chef takes the time to accommodate any needs you may have. Just give us a heads-up at least a week before your cruise, and we'll adjust our purchases and dishes accordingly. And remember our fresh fruit salads and mouth-watering snacks from the galley that will leave you wanting more. 

 

We're excited to welcome you on board and can't wait to share our culinary delights as part of our carefree all-inclusive offering, making you feel like a VIP.

* Air conditioning is available on Sailing Chef I. We want you to be comfortable during your stay, including keeping your cabin temperature comfortable. However, we also want to be mindful of the environment and energy consumption. That's why we ask that you let the crew know when you would like your cabin's air conditioning turned on. The generator on the gulet has a limited capacity for air conditioning hours per day, so we appreciate your understanding in helping us manage energy usage. And if you are okay with letting the crew know when they can turn off the air conditioning, it would be a great help in our efforts to protect the environment. Thank you for being so cooperative!

 

​​Optional

Should you wish to do special activities such as day excursions, scuba diving, or a massage on board, our crew will be happy to help you organize them. The costs for optional activities are not included.​

 

What is not included?

• ​​Your plane ticket and transfer to and from your airport or alternative destination. We are happy to arrange your transfer from/to your arrival/departure airport or other destinations at competitive rates.

• Personal travel and cancellation insurance

• €50 per booking for the Sailing Chef guarantee fund*

• One dinner ashore during the week when anchoring in a picturesque harbor

• One dinner in your arrival port city. On Friday evening, we will arrive at your port of arrival. Each port has a unique local atmosphere and many excellent restaurants. Your crew will happily help you find the restaurant of your liking.​​

​​

​* Why do you operate your own guarantee fund? We understand your question, and the reason is simple. We aim to give you a unique and carefree experience. That is why we have taken out special insurance that pays out faster than a guarantee fund and has a limited risk of going bankrupt, like traditional guarantee funds. In short, better guarantees and less risk for you. For example, this enabled us to satisfy 100% of our guests during the COVID-19 pandemic without lengthy procedures.
