CHEF
Matea Kosovic

Matea's culinary journey began in the heart of her home in Croatia, where cooking and sharing meals with loved ones sparked an early passion for food. Inspired by her mother's recipes, she took to the culinary arts on her own and developed a creative flair by adding unique twists to her mother's dishes. This early love for cooking set the foundation for her career.

Matea also developed an interest in health and fitness, prompting her to pursue a degree of Bachelor of Nutrition Science in Australia. That academic journey expanded her understanding of the intricate relationship between nutrition and culinary arts, fueling her passion even further. After completing her degree, she realized that her passion for cooking and food was something that could be pursued on the water. Her lifelong connection to the ocean influenced her decision to become a yacht chef back in her home country of Croatia.

Her dedication to cooking remains constant and ever-growing. Matea takes great pride in preparing meals with love and quality, ensuring that friends, family, and guests enjoy their dining experience and can appreciate food as much as she does. She especially cherishes the opportunity to share her love for food with others, bringing them together and creating memorable moments with the combined allure of her culinary creations and the ocean's beauty.
