We see great menus on Caribbean yacht charter boats. We are not sure this next recipe hits with yacht charter chefs, however.
Florida marine conservationists have a simple “recipe.” They say, EAT the lionfish!
With few natural predators, Lionfish rapidly spread throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic. They voraciously prey on many things. For instance, local fish, shrimp, and crab populations across the region and in Florida are targets. Lionfish are a huge risk to the world-famous coral reefs of the south.
Bahamas yacht charter clients constantly see these venomous creatures.
The Key Largo-based REEF conservation organization released “The Lionfish Cookbook.” It is a collection of 45 recipes to combat the red lionfish.
There are no government funds available to provide bounties or removal programs. Conservationists hope to therefore create a commercial demand for the fish.
“It’s absolutely good eating — a delicacy. It’s delicately-flavored white meat, very buttery,” boasts Lad Akins. In fact, he directs special projects for the Reef Environmental Education Foundation. Akins authored the cookbook. He co-authored with professional chef, Tricia Ferguson.
Hurricane Andrew in 1992 – and as a result, an aquarium. Researchers believe that Hurricane Andrew caused red Lionfish to invade Florida waters. Specifically, an aquarium broke. At least six lionfish spilled into Miami’s Biscayne Bay. With no known predators, they freely breed and decimate sea creatures and corals. It seems like such a small thing to happen. It just goes to show you that 6 fish can destroy the ecology. Please be mindful of releasing exotic species.
The cookbook shares useful tips on collecting, handling, and preparing lionfish. Furthermore, it provides expert background on its ecological impact.

“We’re considering a New England yacht charter for this summer. Should we plan and budget to eat most dinners ashore at local hotspots and trendy restaurants?
Thanks, Penny R.”
Ricotta and wild mushroom lasagne entree
Dear Penny,
Many elements of a yachting holiday make the experience memorable. First, a clean, luxurious yacht. Second, a professional crew. Third, a great destination, like New England.
However, you’ll be happy to know that fourth, the meals and the total dining experience you enjoy onboard will also be part of your lasting memories!
The yacht charter chef on most yachts rivals the very best chefs around the world. The foodie meals they create are nothing short of amazing!
Peter Williams, the executive chef onboard the 191-foot motor yacht CARPE DIEM was kind enough to pass along some samples from his galley.
For instance,
For example,
The choice is yours! You plan your menu with your chef.
Vegetarian? No problem.
Kosher? Absolutely.
Low cholesterol? Certainly!
You decide what you want to eat.
You decide to have the same delicious homemade pizza every night? Fine! It is your choice! This is YOUR vacation! You can be as decadent as you want with menus and snacks. Your wish is your crew members’ command!

Some clients choose a vacation on a crewed catamaran in the Caribbean. Other clients choose a static event on a MIPIM yacht in Nice, France. The question we are most often asked is, “How is the food?”
We have over 30 years’ experience in the luxury mega yacht charter industry. We honestly answer questions about the food with a resounding, single word, “amazing!”
The reason that private yacht charter vacation food is so amazing is quite simple. With the largest yachts in the world competing for a handful of clients, the onboard meals and presentation is critical. It must rival the fare of the finest 3-star Michelin restaurants.
Wake up on your Monaco Grand Prix Yacht in Monte Carlo. A full day of sightseeing and F1 racing awaits you. You are hungry! Step into the galley and ask the chef what meals he or she has planned for the day.
We asked that of Chef Selina Stansfield onboard 180 foot superyacht MARIE. She responded with this decadent, Race Day sample dinner menu.
Salad of balsamic marinated Italian figs with mozzarella di buffalo.
Grilled Mediterranean Sea Bass, macadamia nut pesto, asparagus risotto.
Slow-baked hazelnut meringues with Valhrona chocolate mousse.
