What employers look forFrom the Chef de Partie / Third Chef guide
Captains and head chefs hire Third Chefs with real kitchen training. Two or three years in a good restaurant or hotel, ideally at chef de partie level, counts for more than yacht time. Clean, consistent crew food matters a lot, because the crew eat it every day and complain loudly when it slips. A pastry background is a strong selling point, as are plant-based and allergy-aware cooking. Calm under pressure and tidy habits are tested within the first week.
