Our Story
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.
