Chef Brendan Ward
Brendan Ward's cuisine is a masterclass in high-stakes culinary excellence. From Superyachts to Your Table. This is the environment where Executive Chef Brendan Ward honed his craft, serving the world's most discerning palates on superyachts across the globe.
Today, he brings that same level of “Dining five-star” excellence on the ocean from behind Brendan's kitchen aboard the Mermaid Spirit. Brendan's creations made like a world table. His journey through international waters required more than just cooking — it demanded a mastery of logistics, an obsession with ingredient sourcing, and the ability to deliver extraordinary results at a moment's notice.
His approach has always been defined by one thing: bringing the high-end service of luxury yachting into a seamless mobile catering experience. He brings the skill, the skill on the cream — leaving hosts with nothing to do but enjoy.
Enjoy a Moment Under the Sunset. As we traverse the delightful dishes and watch the horizon fade, before the horizon you'll enjoy an assortment of loose bread rolls served with butter, making the dining experience cozy and family-friendly.
With a return to the dock at 7:30 PM, you'll carry stories to relate, laugh, and make lasting memories together as the sky transitions into a canvas of colour. This is the perfect chance to unwind and connect with the ones you love while experiencing the beauty of the Gold Coast at dusk.
