sunreef charter yacht che feature in elite traveler superyachts summer 2012
DESCRIPTION
Noted for its unconventional design, the 114-foot Sunreef Yacht CHE retains guest privacy, while bringing those with interest behind the scenes. A spacious saloon and state-of-the-art galley share the main deck, and as a kitchen is the heart of many a home, the galley infuses life into the yacht’s center; guests enjoy the buzz of the chef’s creativity (whose specialty is macrobiotic cuisine),wandering in freely for a sample of whatever’s being cooked up.

GOURMET CHARTERS
HUNTRESS
Chef Tim MacDonald was a first-prize winner in the prestigious Antigua Charter
Yacht Show’s culinary competition just a few months ago. He brings his
gourmet skills to all meals aboard the 180-foot Feadship Huntress, where
charter guests are treated to fine dining either outdoors or within a formal
seating area conceived by world-renowned interior designer Terence Disdale.
10 guests, 14 crew, weekly base rate $275,000
PASSION
Chef Thomas Francque of the 173-foot Swedeship Passion is an award-winning
chef who hails from the West Coast of the United States. He later trained in
London and Dublin, where he cooked at a Michelin-star restaurant, and went
on to earn the title “Chef de Cuisine” from the prestigious Culinary Institute of
America. He specializes in Asian, Indian, Caribbean and Latin American food
and has earned top honors in culinary competitions at several leading charter
yacht shows.
12 guests, 15 crew, weekly base rate from $195,000
LADY J
Chef Emma Beckett was an award winner at the most recent Antigua Charter
Yacht Show, taking first prize in the culinary competition among yachts in the
size range of the 142-foot Palmer Johnson Lady J. In addition to serving
impressive savory dishes, Beckett is also a genius with sweets. She owns her
own chocolate company and creates gourmet bites for charter guests to enjoy.
Be sure to ask for her chocolate mousse with green chilies, Thai basil and
thyme, served alongside a papaya and mint sauce.
12 guests, 9 crew, weekly base rate from $109,000
VA BENE
Chef Gabrielle Scott brings award-winning cuisine to the 157-foot Kees Cor-
nelissen Va Bene, which in and of itself is an interesting yacht for charter. Va
Bene underwent a dramatic refit in 2008 that essentially turned the 1992 build
into an entirely new yacht. The interior décor is now just as contemporary as
Scott’s cooking, offering charter guests a luxurious atmosphere in which to
enjoy the chef’s delicious creations.
12 guests, 13 crew, weekly base rate from $179,000
GALAXY
Chef Hamish Watson is a New Zealand native who worked as a shepherd
before training at top-notch restaurants from Christchurch to London. He
brings a unique farm-to-table perspective to the gourmet meals aboard
the 184-foot Benetti Galaxy, where he has earned a reputation for delicious
tasting menus of seven to nine courses. In his spare time, Watson volunteers
as a chef for charities working to help rebuild Christchurch in the wake of
recent earthquakes.
12 guests, 15 crew, weekly base rate about $300,134

wandering in freely for a sample of whatever’s being cooked up.
