Yacht Catering Gold Coast

Start With the Vessel, Then Build the Menu.

Yacht catering needs to work with the setting as well as the guest list. Private Plating can review Gold Coast yacht catering enquiries around the vessel, marina requirements, timing, guest count and available facilities before confirming whether the occasion can be accommodated.

Private Plating brings the agreed ingredients, prepares and plates the food on site, and cleans the cooking and preparation areas used during the experience. The aim is for the host to stay present with guests while the food is handled with care.

Private Plating

A Clear Way to Plan the Occasion.

Access, onboard kitchen equipment, refrigeration, service areas, weather contingencies and marina rules can all affect what is practical. Sharing these details before menu planning is essential, particularly for a food experience that needs to remain polished while guests are on the water.

Start with the date, location, guest count and the kind of occasion you are planning. From there, we can discuss availability, menu direction, dietary requirements, service style and any practical details before a quote or booking is confirmed.

Food That Works With the Day, Not Against It.

Depending on the brief and practical set-up, canapé service, generous sharing dishes or a smaller-course format may be considered. We will discuss what is appropriate for the vessel and event rather than promise a format before the conditions are understood.

Advertised prices are starting prices and a $1,000 minimum booking applies to Canapé Experiences, Shared Feasts, Three-Course Feasts and Private Degustations. Final scope, staffing, travel and menu requirements are confirmed for the specific event before the booking is secured.

Plan with confidence

What Is Confirmed Before You Book.

Every event is scoped around the actual occasion, so the final quote reflects the date, guests, venue and agreed food experience.

Included as agreed
The confirmed quote sets out the menu planning, ingredient sourcing, on-site preparation, food service and clean-down responsibilities for the areas used during the experience.
Format and courses
Canapé, sharing or smaller-course formats may be considered after the vessel, facilities and event plan have been reviewed. The final menu and service sequence are agreed before the booking is secured.
Minimum booking
A $1,000 minimum booking applies to Canapé Experiences, Shared Feasts, Three-Course Feasts and Private Degustations.
Staffing and service
Service requirements, any additional staff and the level of on-site support are scoped to the guest count, selected format and venue before final pricing is confirmed.
Travel and venue factors
Brisbane and the Gold Coast are the primary service areas. Travel, venue access, equipment, public-holiday or bespoke requirements may affect the final quote.
What to share with us
Your date, location or suburb, guest count, occasion, dietary requirements and any venue or kitchen-access considerations are the best starting point.
Kind words from the table

Service With Care in Every Detail.

Selected five-star reviews from private dining and catering experiences delivered by Chef Justin and his former team.

★★★★★
“I shared the house space at a private home with Justin and his team at a recent wedding. I observed that the team were all so lovely, and passionate about ‘getting it right’ for the guests. I overheard several guests rave over the food too. I had the slow cooked lamb myself, and it was absolutely amazing - would recommend!”
