On April 3rd, nine chefs, all usually working on superyachts ranging from 36m to 97m, competed in an original event at the Yacht Club de Monaco. The event was based on improvisation, as the chefs only had five minutes to discover the mystery ingredients in their baskets to draw up their recipes. Anti-waste penalties were also implemented. It was enough to hold the large audience captive. especially as they were not just spectators. They could also spice up the competition with a surprise ingredient and vote for the best performance. After a three-way final, the international jury crowned Benjamin Ferrand from the M/Y Victoria Del Mar – 50 m, followed by Christoph Siebentritt (M/Y Synthesis – 74 m) and Gaetan Di Santo (M/Y Ocean One – 36 m). The victorious chef also received a well-deserved standing ovation from his crew.
