Co-creating the Luxury Culinary Experiences

Jasper Weseman

Chapter 6 in Co-creating Luxury Customer Experiences in Tourism, 2026, pp 111-123 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers an exploration of the co-creation of luxury culinary experiences on board luxury yachts. The professional experience and background of the author as a luxury yacht chef are shared with the reader to provide practical insights into the role of a chef’s knowledge and skills in the provision of what, for many, is an inaccessible luxury culinary experience. The chapter discusses the range of related activities including communicating guests’ preferences and expectations, general approaches to planning menus, guest-chef co-creation of culinary experiences and guests working with charter brokers in preparation for the charter. The chapter utilises a qualitative methodology approach using lifecourse researcher ethnographic methods to offer first-hand luxury yacht practitioner knowledge. The chapter is positioned as a practitioner–academic piece.
