TOY OF THE MONTH MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF
Feeling peckish?
Perhaps ‘toy’ is the wrong word, and you can’t actually buy one, but if you charter the 70m (230ft) superyacht Sherakhan, the inventory includes Michelin-starred chef Toine Smulders and his two ‘fellow galley professionals’ among its 19-strong crew. Smulders has daily meetings with the yacht’s hotel manager Manonde Wit, planning each meal, including where it will be served, themes and wine pairings to ensure
‘the ultimate dining experience’. There are plenty of choices too, from the multiple outdoor decks with beautiful landscape views to the show-stopping double-height dining room with a galleried atrium and skylight from the glass-bottomed sundeck jacuzzi. The latter (Smulders’s favourite place on Sherakhan to create an ‘unforgettable dining experience’) seats 26 guests at an enormous curved table with custom-made chandeliers and sumptuous surroundings. If you’re quick you can even charter at winter rates, just $425,000 a week (plus expenses such as fuel and provisions). PRICE from: $425,000 per week
