Crew Competitions at the 2014 Newport Charter Show

On Monday 23rd June, chefs will compete for the title of ‘Best Charter Yacht Chef’. The participants will be given a mystery basked of ingredients and challenged to create four servings of an entrée that meets a specific dietary requirement. The competition is open to chefs on board all participating yachts and the winner will be chosen by a panel of culinary professionals.

Tuesday 24th June will see crew members compete either individually or as part of a team in the ‘Tablescaping and Healthy Beverage Challenges’. The ‘Tablescaping Challenge’ will test the interior crew in their ability to decorate their yacht’s dining tables, both inside and outside, using a combination of linen, china, tableware and other decorative items already on board the yacht. The participants will be judged by a panel of design professionals. The ‘Healthy Beverage Challenge’ will see participants create a juice or smoothie that will be judged on its taste and nutritional value. The winners of both challenges will be chosen in two classes – Premier, for crew on board yacht 99 feet and smaller, and Grande, for crew on board yachts of 100 feet and above.

On Wednesday 25th June, the ‘Sunset Canapé Challenge’ will see chefs put their own spin on the delicate canapé hors d’oeuvre. The competition is open to chefs on board participating yachts of 99 feet and under and will be judged on creativity and taste.
