A taste for travel, the pleasure of the table

Before La Brigade des Chefs, there was Eli Cook on Board: Élodie cooked as a private chef on board boats, in Australia and New Caledonia. That experience continues today with the chefs of the Brigade, brought together to share their cooking on land and at sea.

With La Brigade des Chefs On Board, you have two options: catering delivered on board, or a private chef who sails with you. From a simple, convivial meal to a refined gastronomic experience, we adapt our cooking to your wishes, for an outing, an evening or a cruise.

The course

Three ways to bring the Brigade aboard

Waypoint 01 · Delivered buffet

A buffet to share on board

For a lunch at anchor or a day at sea, take along a buffet prepared by the Brigade and delivered on board. Sharing boards, salads, dishes and sweets: we put together a meal suited to your tastes, the number of guests and the equipment on the boat. From a simple, convivial buffet to something more refined, enjoy your outing with a meal that is ready to savour.

Waypoint 02 · Delivered sunset

A sunset to savour

As the sun goes down over the lagoon, share a gourmet selection prepared for your trip. Charcuterie and cheese boards, plant-based creations, canapés or verrines: the Brigade designs an option to suit your wishes, from simple pleasures to the most refined pairings. Delivered on board, it accompanies a special moment with friends, with family or for two.

Waypoint 03 · Chef on board

A chef on board, for the length of your trip

For a day, an evening or a cruise of several days, a chef from the Brigade can sail with you and look after your meals. Convivial or gastronomic menus, sharing dishes or plated service: we build the service around your tastes, your pace and the equipment on the boat. From writing the menus to organising the provisioning, the details are decided together so that you can make the most of your trip.

Your questions

Cast off, savour the moment

Where can the chef come aboard?

In New Caledonia or elsewhere, we look at each project with you. Tell us where you board, your dates and your itinerary: we adapt our organisation to what your trip allows and requires.

Which boats do you work on?

Catamarans and yachts. Describe the boat and the galley equipment available on board: we adapt the menu and our organisation.

Can we order catering without a chef on board?

Yes, our buffets and sunset platters are prepared and delivered at the agreed time, with no chef on board. We put the menu together according to your tastes, the number of guests and the equipment available on the boat. Dishes can be served cold or reheated by you. They are delivered in an insulated box, with storage and preparation instructions.

How does delivery on board work?

We agree with you on the place and time of delivery, taking your departure and access to the boat into account. Storage and preparation instructions are given to you when your order is handed over.

How much does a service on board cost?

The price depends on the option chosen (delivered catering or a private chef on board), the length of the trip, the number of guests and the services you want. Each request receives a personalised quote.

Your stopover

Where will you drop anchor?

Tell us the boat, the dates and the number of guests: Élodie will call you back to write the menu with you.

We reply within two working days. Your details are only used to answer you.
