Private Chef
Dynamic Homes Start in the Kitchen
At Oceanside, our personal chefs are trained to cook, prepare, and serve meals for clients in their homes, often based on the client's dietary needs and schedule.
Their responsibilities may include: menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and planning dinner parties. Many of our private chefs travel with their respective families to other residences or private Yachts, always providing 5-star service whether at home or on the go.
From weekday meals to grand gatherings—crafted with care and creativity.
