CHEF
Kate Brittain
After seven years working in the corporate world of private equity, I am
now pursuing a long-held passion for food, travel, and life at sea through a
career as a yacht chef. Though I’m new to the yachting industry, I bring a
strong work ethic, a genuine love for hospitality, and a diverse cultural
background that has shaped both my worldview and my approach to food.
Born in the Cotswolds and currently based in London, I also spent four
formative years living in Singapore as a child. This early exposure to a wide
range of cuisines and cultures sparked my fascination with global flavors
and ignited my desire to explore the world—something I’ve continued to do
through extensive personal travel. These experiences have given me a deep
appreciation for the connection between food and culture, and a curiosity
that I bring into the kitchen.
During school and university, I worked part-time in hospitality, including
roles at a busy gastropub and with a high-end private catering company. In
both, I supported food service and also assisted with food preparation,
developing a practical understanding of kitchen operations, service
excellence, and working under pressure.
To formalize my transition into yachting, I recently completed a two-week
yacht chef training course in Mallorca with Anchor & Apron. The course
covered galley operations, provisioning, food safety, and producing high-
quality, beautifully plated meals at sea. It confirmed not only my capability
but also my passion for this career path.
Beyond the galley, I have always felt a strong connection to the ocean, demonstrated by completing my Advanced PADI scuba certification.

Reviews
Since we arrived at the port of Tortola, we had the pleasure of having Franky as our captain and Kate as our chef. They met all of our expectations, plus some! Every meal was delicious and there was plenty of it. Captain cocktail hour was something we looked forward to at the end of the day. Kate's food was fabulous and different very day. Franky's knowledge of the BVI area was very professional. The excursions they booked for us were over the opt! One of our favorites as the conch island. We had a vacation of a lifetime and will be returning. We highly recommend sailing on the Alora! Cam on as strangers, leaving as friends.

Franky, the Captain, was awesome and took us to some great spots for snorkeling, wave and paddle board, hiking and beaches.
Kate, the cook, prepared the 5 star meals with a presentation that was over the top.
We’d do it again with this boat and crew .
Paige and Rorke are truly a delight to be with, and provided a level of service well above and beyond our expectations. This has definitely been the dream trip I hoped it would be!
The food was amazing and presentation was incredible. Our family could not have had a better time, cannot recommend enough!
Our experience aboard the Alora was nothing short of exceptional, Thanks to the outstanding care and professionalism of Rorke and Paige!
Rorke, as captain, displayed a high level of maturity and expertise handling the vessel. He also led our fishing adventures with great success – barracuda, a bonito, and more.
Paige is an incredible host and chef, preparing meals, snacks and drinks every day. Everyone was delighted and satisfied and full!
Together they created a warm and fun atmosphere, The four of us consider it an all – time favorite experience. We highly recommend them specifically for a terrific adventure.
