CHEF
Cian Browne
Cian trained at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, graduating with first-class honours. The farm-to-fork ethos there gave him a deep respect for ingredients, seasonality, and the power of simple food cooked with care. During his time, he also worked service at Ballymaloe House, plating five-course dinners for over 80 covers a night - an experience that sharpened both his technical skills and his ability to thrive under pressure.
He went on to do stages at Margaret’s and Quay in Sydney, both 2- and 3-hatted restaurants, where he gained invaluable insight into fine dining kitchens at the highest level.
Since then, Cian has cooked across a wide range of kitchens and settings. He has worked as a private chef, designing bespoke menus and catering events, and more recently spent a winter season in the French Alps, running chalets and preparing multi-course meals for new groups of guests each week. That role taught him how to adapt quickly, balance precision with warmth, and bring a restaurant-level standard to a homely setting.
Most recently, he joined The Yacht Week, cooking on board for groups of 8 - 10 guests in Croatia. Life at sea demanded flexibility, creativity, and the ability to design menus that suited diverse tastes and dietary needs - all in the tightest of kitchens. It was as much about creating an experience as it was about the food, which is exactly what he loves about this career.
Alongside his chef work, Cian also works as a freelance MC and event manager, a role that has honed his skills in performance, organization, and creating energy and connection for groups - qualities that naturally flow into his cooking and hospitality.
Originally from Ireland, he has lived and cooked in Australia, England, France, and back home again. His journey has always been about chasing great food and even better craic, and for him, cooking is about more than flavour - it’s about people, memories, and shared experiences.

Island Standard Time Guest Reviews
February 2025
We are grateful for this incredible week spent with Caydon and Tash! They took us back to some of our favorite places while introducing us to new ones. We loved the itinerary and every day was a great adventure.
Every meal Tash prepared was a culinary masterpiece! She even made fresh bread throughout the week and catered to our preferences. One of our favorites was a breakfast of freshly made bagels with lox - delicious! One of our shared favorite memories was when we had an opportunity to play pickleball at Peter Island Resort followed up with a beautiful hike. Tash had snacks and drinks ready for us when we got back which was the perfect welcoming for us. As we sit here on our last day in the BVI, we look back on fantastic memories made alongside two new friends. Many thanks to Caydon and Tash!!
February 2025
What a wonderful week with Tash and Caydon! Such a fun, courteous and skilled crew. Joyfully helped us with anything we asked. Always felt safe with Caydon’s sailing skill and knowledge. And Tash and her food creations . . . all better than any restaurant in our hometown. Truly spoiled us daily with culinary treats and works of art beyond our expectations. Thank you both for a fun and memorable week.
January 2025
Caydon & Tash – It is hard to articulate what an amazing week this was! I’m sure it’s hard to have a “bad” week in the BVI’s but I’m also certain you two are the reason we enjoyed ourselves so much! With Caydon in charge, we were able to relax & not worry about safety or being able to see the best of the islands. The one-liners kept us laughing! Perfect mix of interaction & privacy! The food… oh my! Tash’s meals made us regret that we did half board! She is so talented, and we can’t wait to buy her cookbook! Hope we didn’t stress you guys out too much! We are counting down the days until we can join you all again on your next adventure!
January 2025
Wow what a wonderful week of sailing, snorkeling, incredible food, laughter and special islands to visit. The six of us couldn’t have asked for a more memorable holiday. Tash – please come home with us. We have never had such delicious meals. What will we do without you. Caydon – you are very masterful and knowledgeable about all things sailing island history. Where the best place is to go. Hopefully we will sail with you again.
December 2024
Dear Caydon & Tash, We filled our bingo card! Thank you for an incredible week aboard Island Standard Time. This has easily become our top family getaway & filled us with so many lifetime memories. Your kindness, humor & thoughtfulness set the pace for a charmed & entertaining week for which we will be forever grateful. Caydon – You are a natural on the water & a trusted captain. Thank you for a beautiful sail to Anegada & finding the perfect spot every day. Tash – You exceeded our expectations with every extraordinary meal! Thank you for your endless creativity & sharing your passion for food & flavors! You two are a wonderful team. Thank you for your dedication & commitment to excellence every day!

We are so grateful to you both for your amazing kindness, expertise and patience in helping us have the trip of a lifetime for Daniela´s 50th birthday. You are two very skilled professionals who kept us safe, entertained and well fed!! Every meal was delicious with the service and ambiance of an award winning restaurant. We all had our favorite meals and I think the poke bowl won first place. Tasha, you must write a cook book for sailing and landlubbers too. Caydon, you are a fantastic captain and your bartending is superb. You both make those around you feel so much joy while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We wish you much success, happiness, love, laughter and a long, healthy life.
