I am pleased to offer my endorsement of your skills as a chef, and someone totally dedicated to his craft. My family had the great good fortune to experience your cooking during a recent yacht charter and your food was magnificent in every way. The variety, preparation, and execution of all you your dishes was exceptional and can be favorably compared with any five-star restaurant. And finally, you seem to do it all well. Your baking, pastries, cakes and deserts were just as good as your entrées. There seemed to be nothing that you couldn’t do and every meal prepared was always the best.~ Mike C.

J’ai eu le grand plaisir de savourer la cuisine de Benjamin : inspirée, évolutive elle nous confirme qu’elle est faite pour nous personnellement tant le chef est attentif à nos goûts, à nos envies. Il arrive également à nous entraîner dans sa soif de découvertes, toujours en quête d’apprendre, d’évoluer pour enrichir ses propositions. À la cuisine française, il ajoute des saveurs italiennes, asiatiques et nous gratifie par son apprentissage de la boulangerie de pains aussi bons que variés. S’inspirant des grands pâtissiers il sait également adoucir la fin du repas avec des desserts légers, raisonnables en sucre et toujours à base de produits frais et gourmands. À l’écoute, lui et le client c’est une histoire d’équipe.~ D.F.
Benjamin Ferrand was embarked from 1st May 2014 to 15th October 2014 on board M/Y GOOD LIFE, an 85 feet motor yacht. We did 9 weeks of charter and 4 weeks owner. Benjamin is a perfect Chef, his level of skills is really high. In any situation or any guest expectation, he has always the solution to provide the best meal for charterers. He is also always in a good mood. I would recommend him to any bigger and busy charter yacht; I will be always available to confirm this reference letter.Anyway, the owner and I will be very happy to welcome him on board next season.

Benjamin cooked four excellent meals for us while were skiing. The menus were thoughtful with interesting combinations of flavours and herbs. Everything was well cooked, nicely presented and courteously served. Our big after skiing appetites were definitely satisfied too. Benjamin also gave us wine recommendations which complemented the food extremely well. All the best with your website. ~ P.B.
The yacht was a perfect choice for what we needed – perfect size, style, layout… Everyone loved it! The entire crew was excellent – great service, phenomenal attitude, great energy, very professional. Food selection and preparation was first class, way beyond our expectations. Our team and clients felt like they are enjoying a Michelin Star restaurant. Thank you very much – we have a very happy client!! ~ Miha
Mr Benjamin Ferrand has been part of my crew since 2010. He has been working season after season as Chef on board MY 4 FUN then on MY GRAND CRU III. The yachts operate privately and charter in the Med to the highest standards. Mr Benjamin Ferrand is a key factor in the success of the running of the yacht.Mr Benjamin Ferrand’s cuisine has been, if I dare to say, more than appreciated by the charterers and the owners. In the meantime, the crew has never been left behind. Benjamin taking a good care of the crew: a token to a positive atmosphere on board favorable for an active business. Benjamin Ferrand is a real crew member; I mean by “real” that he is team player and his natural happiness and positive attitude are contagious and spread a nice spirit on board. It would be fastidious to describe precisely his professional qualities here but a few words are a good introduction to describe them: French training Cuisine, Michelin Star achievements, work ethics, honesty, hard work. He permanently seeks to improve and researches the finest flavors and tastes.I invite you to contact me. I have no hesitation to recommend Mr Benjamin Ferrand. He is one to cope with the highest challenges and he worth it. Myself, I am looking forward collaborating with Benjamin Ferrand on an adequate project. Read the full reference letter.~ Alain Combes
