At Chef Patrick, we specialize in transforming galley operations into culinary hubs of excellence. With years of experience in both the professional culinary world and the unique maritime environment, we understand the day-to-day realities aboard merchant ships.
Our services are rooted in real-world insight, ongoing chef engagement, and constant dialogue with both crew and management—ashore and onboard.
We identify needs through personal interaction, surveys, focus groups, conversations with management, Captains and galley members, and strategic onboard visits. This allows us to build tailored programs that deliver measurable impact, real support, and long-ter
Certified. Practical. Impactful.
Our remote culinary training program is designed specifically for maritime chief cooks.
This is not just a course—it’s an investment in your crew’s nutrition.
Our vibrant online community is the beating heart of everything we do.
Led by professional chefs and community managers, it connects cooks from around the world—each working alone in their Galley, but never truly alone.
We support communication on any platform—WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, or client-specific tools—ensuring full access and inclusion, wherever your teams operate.
Led by experienced chefs, our online community is where ideas are shared, challenges are solved, and culinary passion is kept alive:
All materials—like new challenges, contents, recipes, etc. —are shared through the community and also available in our Knowledge Base.

“Where community thrives, success follows.”
We provide structured best-practice tools and ready-made templates that bring clarity, logic, and efficiency into every Galley.
With our guidance and continuous support, Galleys can be better managed, meals can become more personalized, and management can gain better control and visibility over day-to-day operations.
By implementing structured galley management, crews enjoy more personalized and culturally relevant meals, Galley teams master the core professional skills, and companies can benefit from greater efficiency, reduced waste, improved operational control, and happier and more satisfactory employees.
Every month, we launch a new culinary masterclass focused on a specific theme—ranging from ingredient groups to global cooking techniques.
Each masterclass includes a curated selection of recipes, some of which come with video tutorials.
At the end of each challenge, participating chefs receive an official Chef Patrick certificate recognizing their achievement.
Our masterclasses are continuously updated to stay relevant, engaging, and diverse—and can be fully customized to reflect your company’s cultural needs, culinary goals, and available onboard ingredients.
It’s not just about learning—it’s about growth, pride, and connection.
Each client receives personal login access to our digital platform—a centralized space for everything your cooks need to grow, learn, and plan smarter.
Inside the platform, you’ll find:
Whether they’re planning a menu, improving hygiene routines, preparing for a celebration, or simply looking to grow—your chefs can access everything in one smart, structured, and user-friendly hub.
The Messmen Development Program is a hands-on, fleet-ready initiative designed to upskill galley assistants into capable future Chief Cooks.
This isn’t just training – it’s a career-transforming initiative designed for motivated galley assistants ready to grow, and aspiring to become Chief Cooks.
This program also benefits the Chief Cooks, empowers them to take on leadership roles as mentors, lightens their day-to-day workload, and helps establish a stronger, more capable Galley team, and even allows them to take well-deserved rest, knowing the galley is in safe hands.
By turning potential into performance, we’re building stronger teams, boosting morale, and creating a sustainable pipeline of talent, now successfully implemented fleet-wide across our partner vessels.
We don’t just develop skills – we cultivate leadership, loyalty, and long-term impact.
Optional, but highly recommended: Vessel visits
Our vessel visits provide an unmatched, hands-on perspective that no video call can replicate.
By stepping into your galley, we help bridge the gap between theory and daily reality—providing tailored recommendations and immediate value you can feel.
When our team sees your Galley in action, real change begins.
We specialize in designing modern galleys for both new builds and retrofits, fully tailored to the unique limitations and operational realities of merchant vessels.
Our designs combine form and function—making the most of every square meter, optimizing crew workflow, and ensuring long-term durability in the demanding conditions at sea.
What you get:
Far more than modern galleys, our designs are high-performance workspaces—crafted to support sustainability, inspire forward-thinking innovation, and enhance life at sea
