There are four things that make a cruise experience truly memorable. 

~a Gorgeous Yacht  √

~Fantastic Service √

~Amazing Cuisine √

~And those with whom you share it. √

Because we are privately owned, we can offer you many different options to customize your cruise experience on ShipsAhoy! You can even choose to bring your own food- which means, let's face it, less time relaxing. But if you are really serious about making this an experience you will place within your top ten adventures of all time, you need to consider reserving Chef Cheryl for your event. Rarely do you find a chef whose food is as delicious as it is beautiful. She brings years of professional training and experience to the table, and... that little extra something that you just have to be born with.

Below, you will find a selection of her menu items. Contact us to book your cruise and we will be happy to coordinate your schedule with Chef Cheryl's availability.

You can also access her website here, (Contact her directly for current pricing.)
