I’m a luxury private yacht chef, and I create elevated dining on superyachts and charters across the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and beyond. I plan and provision with a strong focus on fresh seafood, seamless service, and multi-course deckside dinners for 4–20 guests—plus consistent, energizing crew meals under sail.

My style blends my Bulgarian roots with international technique shaped by 10+ years cooking in 20+ countries, including 4 years as a private chef in Copenhagen and 2 dedicated years mastering yacht galleys. I’m used to compact spaces, fast-changing conditions, and high expectations—so every charter becomes a smooth culinary adventure.
