Greg’s passion for cooking comes through in every dish he prepares, from classic French to modern Asian fusion cuisine.
He discovered his affinity for the kitchen whilst growing up on his grandparents farm on the mid north coast of New South Wales, Australia’s rich farming and agriculture lands. After completing his training in culinary arts at Sydney’s top catering college, he worked in some of Sydney’s most highly regarded restaurants and has been a personal chef for some of Australia’s most prominent families.
Greg's specialty is fresh seafood, and he insists on using only the freshest he can catch or buy, often directly from the fisherman. Having worked on yachts for more than a decade, Greg enjoys thoughtfully crafting menus to suit each guest’s preferences, and happily accommodate all special diets.

The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. Charter Index is a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed, it is not always clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we endeavour to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on Charter Index should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by the representatives of a yacht.
