Professional Fresh Pasta for Superyacht Chefs

I did the Food Safety Level 2 course with instructor Mark, and had a great experience! Mark kept us entertained the whole day with his enthusiasm, style of teaching and ability to convey important information in a way that really highlighted the main takeaway of the course! He has a genuine passion for teaching and helping his students along their way into yachting with real-world advice and examples relevant to the course information.

“Mark was AMAZING – he was energetic, knowledgeable, had information pouring out his mouth and was super helpful with any questions we had. He clearly explained everything, and I wish he could teach me every day. Very good course!!!”

" I realised how important it is for every yacht chef to do their ship's cook assessment as I almost lost an amazing job opportunity due to not having my certificate. Thankfully Oceanwave managed to fit me in very last minute but only because they had a cancellation BUT this left me very unprepared. They helped me through the whole process and pushed and guided me through when I was so nervous. I can highly recommend all you yacht chefs to book your ship's cook assessment at ocean wave ASAP so you don’t have to loose any amazing opportunities. Thank you so much Claire and Mark, I wouldn’t have wanted to do my assessment anywhere else but with you guys."

“Mark is a very nice and professional teacher, with awesome humour. He made the course funny, dynamic and enjoyable. He understands yachting and crew life, it was very easy for me to empathise and do the course. I would recommend Mr. Cox to my crew without hesitation.”

“Excellent course. Mark did an excellent job running the course, it was timely, enthusiastic and made interesting! Course material covered many topics and hands-on examples. Kept the classes attention and participation. Would happily recommend Ocean Wave Monaco to others in the future!”

“Mark was amazing. Very captivating and funny. He actually made a PowerPoint presentation enjoyable. Thank you. Thank you!!!”

“Alan is a WONDERFUL instructor. Amazing is an understatement. He is funny, driven, kind and incredibly passionate about his job. I am so grateful I have met him and done this course. Thanks to Claire and Alan”

“Both Mark & Duncan were very helpful when it came to explaining the importance of a chef’s role on a yacht. In two days, not only have they assessed me professionally but taught me or helped me understand more. Clearly the safety for myself and others. Great guys. “

“Ce fait une très belle expérience, Mark soit instauré une belle ambiance et je salut la qualité de son enseignement ‘’

"Alan was great! Really got the key points across in a fun and professional manner!"

"Everything was perfect. From the moment I have asked for information to Claire, to the moment we finished the course with Mark."

"I can honestly say that I have no constructive recommendations for improvement. The course content, value for money and the priceless advice and guidance makes all the difference!"

I am a yacht Chef and I had the chance to do my ship’s cook certificate with Oceanwave Monaco and they are the best training center if you are looking to do it. Claire and Mark make everything easy for you as they take care of the paperwork from start to finish, you won’t even need to apply for your certificate! They have many years of experience in the maritime industry and the energy they put in making the course being such a good experience is just amazing. I will definitely recommend them as the top company for any chef willing to do their ship’s cook certificate.

I had a great experience doing my Ship’s Cook certification with Ocean Wave! Great coaching, communication was always clear and everyone was super supportive throughout. I truly appreciated the guidance and positive energy throughout the process. Highly recommend!

I recently completed the course in Antibes with Oceanwave Monaco. Claire and Mark were absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They created such a positive and professional learning environment that made the whole experience enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking to upskill or start their yachting journey!

RYA Powerboat Level 2 Training with Oceanwave was a brilliant experience. We packed loads of practice into two days alongside useful theory, and I left feeling confident and excited to steer independently. Mark was great fun to train with, I’ll definitely come back for future training.
