Bespoke cuisinelocal and seasonal& tailored to your preferences
Originally from Biarritz, Laurine Dufrenne is a private chef based between the Caribbean islands of Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy, while travelling worldwide to create bespoke culinary experiences aboard yachts, in private villas, and for exclusive events.
After several years in luxury culinary events and private dining, she spent seasons sailing through the Caribbean and the Mediterranean as head chef aboard private catamarans.

Blending French techniques with Mediterranean influences and Caribbean flavors, every menu is thoughtfully tailored to each guest, offering an elegant, generous, and memorable dining experience.
