Our Story

Image of owners Kevin and Maureen in their kitchen

At Floating Cookery, we didn’t just stumble upon our dream—we crafted it with intention and heart. With Kevin’s decade of yachting experience and Maureen’s expertise in hospitality and passion for wellness, we set out to create something that would allow us to give back to our community, one meal at a time.

Floating Cookery is the culmination of years spent perfecting the art of service, both on land and sea. Our mission is simple: to craft meals that are not only delicious but also nourishing for the body. We believe that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to create joy, build community, and celebrate life.

​

Our name, Floating Cookery, is a nod to our yachting roots and our ability to move effortlessly from one kitchen to another, creating experiences that help people slow down, connect, and enjoy life’s best moments.

​

What makes this journey even more special is that it’s ours to share—not just as business partners, but as life partners who fell deeper in love while crafting unforgettable experiences for others. For us, Floating Cookery is about more than just food—it’s about making life’s moments a little more joyful, a little more connected, and a lot more delicious.

Meet Chef Kevin

Kevin has a unique ability to turn every meal into a culinary adventure. With over 8 years of experience in the yachting industry, he’s honed his craft in dynamic environments, focusing on quality, sustainability, and creativity. As a self-taught chef, Kevin loves to explore flavors from around the world, bringing cultural diversity to the dishes he creates and customizing them to suit each guest’s tastes.

​

Whether he’s preparing a meal inspired by global cuisine or crafting a classic fine dining experience, Kevin’s thoughtful approach ensures that every dish is just right. He’s equally skilled at creating familiar, comforting meals as he is at introducing new and exciting flavors, making sure that every guest feels at home, no matter their palate. Kevin’s talent for anticipating the needs of his guests, always thinking a step ahead, creates a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. His warmth and dedication to his craft make every meal memorable, and with Floating Cookery, he’s excited to bring this level of care and passion to your table, offering dishes that nourish both the body and soul.

​

When Kevin isn’t cooking up a storm, you’ll likely find him out in nature or building something with his hands. He loves to surf, sail, hike and travel, often exploring new places and learning along the way. Kevin also enjoys creating ferments from the home garden and is currently diving into the art of foraging, adding yet another layer of creativity to his culinary adventures.

Meet Maureen

Maureen brings a deep passion for wellness, nutrition, and hospitality to Floating Cookery, working in tandem with Kevin to craft holistic and enriching dining experiences. With over a decade of experience in hospitality, sales, and human resources, she is the driving force behind the seamless operations and thoughtful touches that make every event memorable. Her commitment to healthy living goes beyond the kitchen, as she weaves her expertise as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist in training into every menu and experience at Floating Cookery.

​

As a natural connector, Maureen ensures that every guest feels welcomed and cared for, whether through the ambiance, the conversation cards, or the subtle details that transform a meal into a truly special occasion. Outside of Floating Cookery, Maureen loves to surf, garden, explore in her campervan, and embark on adventures with Kevin and their Moroccan rescue dog, Zahira. Together, they are building a life centered around good food, meaningful connections, and a shared love for holistic wellness.

"We had the Floating Cookery duo with us throughout our vacation at a remote lake house, and it made the trip SO much more relaxing. No scrambling to cook or figure out where to eat, just amazing meals every day. The quality of the food was unbelievable, and everything was tailored to our preferences. We didn’t have to lift a finger in the kitchen, and the whole experience felt like luxury on another level."
