Yacht Club de Monaco to Host 2026 Edition of the Bluewater & YCM Chef Competition

Bluewater, in partnership with the Yacht Club de Monaco, has announced the return of the Bluewater & YCM Chef Competition, which will take place on 2 April 2026 at the Yacht Club de Monaco. The event will bring together nine distinguished superyacht chefs, each invited to demonstrate their creativity, technique and precision in a professional culinary showcase.

Held within the framework of Monaco’s advanced yachting initiative, the competition provides a platform for chefs working in the superyacht industry to present their expertise before an internationally recognised jury. The panel, composed of acclaimed culinary professionals, will assess the chefs across key criteria including innovation, execution and presentation.

The competition also offers an opportunity for participants to engage with senior industry figures, peers and sector stakeholders in one of the most symbolic maritime settings in the world. The event reinforces Monaco’s role as a centre for excellence in both yachting and gastronomy.

Through initiatives such as this, the Yacht Club de Monaco and Bluewater continue to support skills development and high-level professional standards within the superyacht sector.
