Chef Willy grew up in France where he developed a passion for cooking traditional and gourmet cuisine. He has worked and gained invaluable experience in prestigious restaurants from Paris to St Barth - Plaza Athénée, Eden Roc, Isle de France, and Nikki Beach Saint-Tropez to name a few. From using local and seasonal produce, Willy finds a tremendous amount of inspiration and creativity that adds to his culinary repertoire, especially fusion and Mediterranean cuisines.
Since embarking on life at sea he has travelled to the Caribbean, Asia, USA, Middle East and Europe, always continuing to learn and capture new recipes wherever he goes. When he does leave the galley, he enjoys travelling and exploring the local areas, wherever he may be.
