Can dietary restrictions be accommodated on a charter?
The provisioning questionnaire
Before your charter, your chef sends every guest a detailed questionnaire covering allergies and food sensitivities, dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, keto, dairy-free), foods you dislike, and favorite dishes. The chef provisions the yacht based on these responses before you even arrive.
Multiple dietary needs in one group
It is very common for a group to include a vegetarian, a guest avoiding gluten, and someone with a shellfish allergy. The chef handles this without making it a production. The chef works to give every guest a satisfying meal, not an afterthought plate.
Severe allergies
If any guest has a severe or anaphylactic allergy, list it clearly on the questionnaire and mention it directly to the captain and chef when you board. The crew takes food safety seriously and manages cross-contamination appropriately in the galley.

How It Works Before You Board
Before your charter, every guest completes a provisioning questionnaire. Your chef reviews it, asks follow-up questions if needed, and provisions the boat accordingly. Nut allergies, keto preferences, and children's picky eating are typically accommodated with advance notice, so the chef can plan ahead rather than adjust on the fly.
Common Requests We Handle Regularly
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, kosher-style, low-sodium, keto, and paleo — all handled regularly, with no compromise on quality. If two guests in the group have different dietary needs, both get meals tailored to them. The chef does not cook one menu and modify it — they build separate preparations when needed.
If you have a severe allergy (shellfish, tree nuts, celiac), let us know at booking. The chef will ensure the galley is provisioned and prepared to avoid cross-contamination entirely.
