No Better Job Chef Interview - Superyacht Ulysses
There is no better job in the world than being a chef on a superyacht everyone loves food.'' Meet Shane, a Kiwi chef, who qualified 22 years ago at the Auckland Chef and Hotel Training School and is now head chef onboard the 65 metre M/Y Ulysses superyacht, one of the long-anticipated motor yachts on show at the Genoa Charter Show 2013. We were invited onboard by Gorm the captain to ask Shane a few questions about his experiences, his work, and what he liked cooking.
Nowadays I only work in the summer which means I get to spend more time with my family back home in New Zealand. Otherwise it's snowboarding and diving. I love my sport. Whenever I get time off and the boss is not onboard I head up to Alps D'Huez or Tignes in the French Alps to ride some fresh snow. I live near the mountains in NZ so it reminds me of home, plus the snow is better and the hills are higher. I also love to eat steak and drink red wine.'' Finding yachting has been the best thing in my life. I have met so many amazing people and been to so many amazing places. It has been a defining part of my life and one that I will always look back upon with fond memories.'' If you want to come and meet Shane, eat some outstanding fish, BBQ meat or try your hand at making pizzas, MY Ulysses is available for charter in the Mediterranean this summer with Fraser Yachts.
