Chef/Mate: Reeve Forget
Reeve is an experienced yacht chef with a true passion for both cooking and life on the water. Originally beginning her culinary career as a sous chef, she transitioned into the yachting industry over five years ago, combining her professional culinary background with her love for sailing and travel. Having first learned to sail dinghies in France nearly a decade ago, she quickly realised she felt most at home at sea and has been building her career around it ever since.
With several successful charter seasons completed throughout both the Caribbean and Mediterranean, Reeve has developed a strong reputation for delivering exceptional cuisine alongside warm, attentive guest service. Her experience onboard has allowed her to master the unique challenges of yacht hospitality, from provisioning in remote islands to creating beautifully presented meals in compact galley kitchens while adapting seamlessly to life at sea.
Creative by nature, Reeve also studied photography at university and has a keen artistic eye that shines through in both her presentation and attention to detail. Inspired by the destinations she sails through, her cooking is fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully crafted to suit each guest’s preferences. To further refine her skills for yacht life, she completed a specialist yacht chef training course in the UK, helping her develop the versatility and organisation required for luxury charter operations.
In addition to her culinary background, Reeve has previous experience nannying for children, making her especially confident and comfortable hosting families onboard. Her calm, approachable personality helps guests of all ages feel instantly relaxed, welcome, and well cared for throughout their charter experience.
Together, Stewart and Reeve create a professional, welcoming, and highly guest-focused team onboard. Having worked together across multiple charter seasons in both the Caribbean and Mediterranean, they have developed a natural flow that allows charters to run seamlessly while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for guests. Their shared passion for travel, sailing, diving, and creating memorable experiences shines through in every aspect of life onboard. Whether it’s discovering hidden anchorages, planning unforgettable days on the water, or delivering exceptional food and service, they pride themselves on creating personalised charter experiences that guests remember long after leaving the boat.
