The Nomad Chef — Luigi Fumarola | Private Chef & Yacht Chef Worldwide

Private chef and yacht chef worldwide

MORE
THAN
A MEAL.

I BRING PASSION TO EVERYTHING I DO — COOKING FOR PRIVATE RESIDENCES AND ABOARD PRIVATE AND CHARTER YACHTS. YEARS OF TRAVELLING THE WORLD FOR MY CLIENTS, ON LAND AND AT SEA, HAVE SHAPED THE WAY I COOK AND THE WAY I TAKE CARE OF MY GUESTS.

Experiences

Dining, your way

Tasting Menu

A refined sequence of smaller, individually plated courses. The menu is planned with you and shaped around your preferences and the occasion, from an intimate dinner to a special celebration.

Sharing Table

Generous dishes served at the centre of the table, family-style, for relaxed lunches and dinners. Everyone can share and choose at their own pace, making it especially enjoyable for families and younger guests.

Omakase

A course-by-course Japanese menu featuring sushi, sashimi, crudo and cooked dishes. Each experience is built around the freshest fish and seasonal ingredients available at the time.

Fresh & Light

Fresh, balanced menus centred on seasonal produce, vibrant salads, lean proteins and lighter preparations. Each menu can be adapted to specific dietary needs and discussed with you in advance.

Services

Three ways to set the table

Villas

From a single dinner to a full stay, menus are planned around your preferences and ingredients sourced accordingly. We handle the shopping and cooking, leaving the kitchen clean and everything in its place, so you can simply enjoy your stay.

Yachts

Private and charter cruising, with chefs who understand provisioning, galley constraints and guest rhythm — many of us built our careers aboard superyachts, including vessels over 100 metres.

Events

From intimate dinners to larger celebrations: we arrange the chef and service staff, with local concierge and event partners available when needed.

The chef

Luigi Fumarola

Private Chef & Yacht Head Chef

I'm an Italian chef with over twenty years of international culinary experience, shaped by Michelin-starred restaurants in England, France and Spain, as well as luxury private residences. I have spent more than a decade aboard private and charter superyachts, with head chef roles on vessels up to 115 metres.

The Nomad Chef brings together that experience and the professional relationships built along the way. I remain an active chef, and that first-hand understanding of the work guides how I choose the chefs who join our network.
