Working with Atlantico was a truly refreshing experience. We needed a last-minute replacement for our head chef just before a busy charter season, and within 48 hours we had three perfectly matched candidates to choose from. The process was fast, transparent, and highly professional. Communication was smooth, and the candidate we hired turned out to be one of the best we’ve had on board in years. I’d absolutely recommend them to any captain or yacht owner looking for quality placements without the usual stress.

Atlantico’s approach is truly unique; they carefully listened to our needs and guided us in the right way. Thanks to them, we have been enjoying a delightful and seamless experience for two seasons now with a chef who fits perfectly into our team.

We were very pleased to work with Atlantico Consultancy on the delicate and important matter of finding and placing a yacht chef. The process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. The chef they introduced us to, with whom we still happily work, not only brings refinement, taste, and exceptional skills, but also fits in seamlessly with our family, guests, and the entire crew. I will gladly continue to recommend Atlantico.

We have been collaborating with Ms. Kurt from Atlantico for about five years in the chef recruitment processes for the yachts we manage. During this period, the diligence she has shown in the evaluation stages of the candidates she introduced to us, the complete delivery of all necessary information before employment, and the professional coordination of trial tastings have been extremely valuable to us.

Ms. Kurt carefully follows every detail, taking into account the unique structure and culinary preferences of each yacht; moreover, by staying in constant communication throughout long-term working relationships and sharing updates with us, she has significantly facilitated our operational processes.

The main reasons we have been working with her for so many years are her high level of empathy, her ability to accurately analyze our needs and deliver effective solutions, and her result-oriented approach. Thanks to her professionalism and reliability, we are confident that our collaboration will continue in the future

This year we had the opportunity to work with Atlantico and Ms. Deniz Kurt for the first time. In the yachting industry, every yacht owner knows the difficulty of finding not only a good chef, but one who is truly suitable for the yacht. It is not enough for the chef to be good; he or she must also adapt to the crew, the dynamics, and our own habits. We have had this yacht for 5 years, and I have been a yacht owner since my early youth, so I know these realities very well.

This year we found our chef through Atlantico, and we are so satisfied that we will continue with the same chef next season. Ms. Deniz Kurt understood our requests and the kind of chef we were looking for in a single phone call, gathered the right information from us, and placed the most suitable chef on our yacht. The process was easy and fast. We hope to always work together.

What makes Atlantico truly stand out is that they didn’t just look at my CV — they really took the time to understand me as a person. Thanks to this, they matched me with a yacht where my character and style fit perfectly. That personal touch made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for their support.

I would like to thank Atlantico for supporting me in securing yacht positions that have allowed me to further develop myself professionally in countless seasons. Since the 2022 season, Ms. Deniz Kurt has always been there for me, returning my calls in the shortest time. Atlantico has not only helped me find placements, but the trust and consistent support provided have always made a real difference. I look forward to achieving even greater things together in the seasons ahead.

I consider myself fortunate to have met Ms. Deniz and to have had the chance to work as a yacht chef through her guidance. Having walked this path before us, she truly understands chefs, their experiences, and the challenges we may face along the way. She is a former chef herself, which allows her to relate to our journey on a deeper level. Even after placing you in a job, she never stops checking in—her follow-ups and feedback ensure everything is running smoothly. Before this, I never had the opportunity to work with an agency. Atlantico, however, manages the process seamlessly, with Ms. Deniz personally taking care of every detail. In my opinion, what Atlantico does best is matching the right chef with the right yacht. They carefully align the yacht’s dynamics with the chef’s needs and expectations, making sure it’s the perfect fit. This thoughtful approach not only sets the stage for success but also allows chefs to enjoy the satisfaction of delivering excellent work afterwards. I truly hope to continue working with Atlantico for many more years to come.

I was able to turn my dreams of becoming a yacht chef into reality thanks to Atlantico Yachting. Throughout the placement process, I truly felt their years of experience and professionalism at every step. For building a career at sea, they are the most reliable partner. I have now successfully completed my first season on board a 25m M/Y.

I met Ms. Kurt in the second year after stepping into this sector. Although I had worked with different agencies, whenever I was in contact with her, I always felt safe thanks to her protection of crew rights, her vast knowledge of the industry, and her professional approach. With its disciplined structure and wide portfolio, Atlantico holds an important place in the sector, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all my friends who wish to take a step into this field. I would like to thank her for all her support and contributions.

I have worked with many agencies and placement companies before. Atlantico Yachting is definitely the most attentive, the most reliable, and the fastest. From the very first contact until the day I joined the yacht – and even during the entire seasons – they were always by my side at every stage. They found a position that perfectly matched my requests and personal qualities, exactly what I was looking for. They make a complete match according to the yacht owner’s, crew’s, and chefs’ requirements and expectations. I started working as a chef on a 36-meter private S/Y, and I have been here for 3 years now, very satisfied. The team harmony, friendship, communication, and process management are all excellent. My advice to chefs and stewardess friends who are looking for a job is definitely Atlantico Yachting.

After my graduation from the Culinary Arts Academy and my restaurant experiences, I stepped into the yachting industry thanks to Ms. Kurt. During this process, she supported me not only in improving my professional skills but also in getting to know the industry closely. Especially in my first year, she was always by my side—both in demonstrating the right communication with yacht owners and guests, and in helping me learn the practical aspects of the job.Atlantico Yachting and Ms. Kurt opened the doors to a new career path for me and guided my professional development. Thanks to their mentorship, today I continue my journey as a much more equipped, confident, and creative chef. This journey has been not just a job for me, but also an inspiring learning process. I sincerely thank Atlantico Yachting and Ms. Kurt for this valuable opportunity and the trust they have shown.

Since 2018, Atlantico Yachting has played a major role in my safe progress within the industry. They provided me with very detailed information through both comprehensive training programs and individual consultancy. Their constant accessibility, deep understanding of a chef’s perspective, and ability to provide fast and practical solutions whenever needed have made them a truly reliable agency for me. During the placement process on a 26-meter motor yacht—where I was able to gain so much in a short time—they supported me at every stage, from the job interview to stepping on board. They stand out not only for their professionalism but also for their visionary approach. It is an effective and forward-thinking agency that I have enjoyed being a part of for a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wishes to advance in this sector.

I have been in the yachting industry for many years, and when I decided to change my job, I worked with Atlantico. I never imagined that I would receive such a quick response—the whole process developed incredibly fast and smoothly for me. They carefully listened to what kind of job and conditions I wanted, and helped me find exactly the position I was looking for. Even after my placement, they did not forget to check in and ask about my satisfaction.I am very happy to have joined this yacht, and I am now working as the SOLE CHEF on a 40m private motor yacht owned by a very established family. I sincerely thank Atlantico for their support.

I started my first yacht experience with Atlantico Yachting as a chef on the 24-meter motor yacht Player. From the beginning of the process until the day I stepped on board, Atlantico supported me at every stage. In my very first yacht experience, I progressed with confidence and opened a new career path for myself. I definitely recommend Atlantico to anyone who wants to enter the yachting sector.
