Antigua Charter Yacht Show celebrates exquisite cuisine with 2023 Concours de Chef and Tablescaping Competitions

Annually attracting in the region of 75 luxury charter yachts, the Antigua Charter Yacht Show aims to inspire and educate brokers and the local industry on the premium superyachts and the opportunities of embarking on Antigua yacht charters, and indeed exploring the Caribbean. Now looking forward to its 63rd edition in 2024, the Leeward Island event is highly anticipated every year and is set to once again commend the best Chefs and Stewards in the Caribbean.

Now a predominant feature of the annual Antigua Charter Yacht Show, superyacht chefs and chief stewards from attending sailing and motor yachts are presented with the task of proving themselves as the best in the Caribbean charter fleet. Each year the competitions follow a different theme, allowing each competitor to unleash their creativity and create a unique and showstopping three-course meal and tablescape. The primary theme for the 2023 event covered round-the-world cuisine with nods to sustainability.

Meticulously judged by an independent panel, the winners of the 2023 Concours de Chef and Tablescaping competitions have earned much more than bragging rights as they prove why their associated luxury charter yachts are the crème de la crème of the charter market.
