Languages Spoken : French, English, Basic Spanish
Amandine is a French self-taught chef whose journey into yachting is driven by a genuine, long-standing passion for both the sea and culinary arts. Originally trained as a French literature teacher and working as a sailing instructor during her studies, she chose to leave the traditional path behind in pursuit of a more hands-on, dynamic lifestyle.
She entered the yachting industry as a deck/stew/cook, gaining a solid understanding of life on board before progressively specializing as a chef.
Entirely self-taught, her cuisine reflects curiosity, discipline, and a constant desire to evolve. She has a particular passion for spices, fermentation techniques, and Asian cuisines (especially Japanese) while remaining deeply rooted in Mediterranean influences shaped by her French and Portuguese heritage.
Today, Amandine lives fully through her two greatest passions : the ocean and cooking. Whether in the galley or under sail, she brings energy, adaptability, and a strong work ethic, thriving in fast-paced environments and consistently striving for excellence. She has no intention of returning to teaching, having found her true calling at sea. And when she’s not in the galley, there’s a good chance she’s somewhere behind a kite, chasing the wind with the same passion she brings to her cooking.
