Chef Devaney -
Dev brings a warm, creative, and highly intuitive approach to the charter experience, elevating every meal into a thoughtful and memorable part of life onboard. Having completed over 50 charters, she’s experienced anticipating guests' culinary desires.
Dev’s journey to yachting is uniquely well-rounded, hailing from Fish Hoek, South Africa. She studied a double major in Art History and English, disciplines that continue to shape her culinary style today. Her approach to cooking is expressive and artistic, treating each plate as a carefully composed experience rather than something routine or predictable. Flavors, textures, and presentation are thoughtfully balanced, resulting in cuisine that is refined yet approachable and always made with intention and care.

"We are leaving reluctantly after a splendid time aboard Solaire. Chef Jammi exceeded all our expectations. Captain Matt made us all feel so welcomed and relaxed!! Happy to have had this chance to break in a beautiful boat as its first charter." "Thank you to the chill crew! We felt so relaxed aboard the boat - amazing food! Perfect swim and ski sports! What more can we ask for?!" "It was wonderful to meet you both! You are a fantastic crew and super laid back. Thank you so much for making our vacation excellent! Until next time!" January 2026
