Chef Chris Jackman’s culinary journey began on a horse farm in Coventry, Rhode Island, where he developed a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for quality ingredients. After earning his Bachelor´s Degree in Culinary and Food Service Management from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Chris honed his skills working in restaurants in the vibrant Providence food scene. He then spent six seasons at the Outermost Inn on Martha´s Vineyard, where his passion for cooking evolved into a refined culinary style.

His career also includes assisting with the opening of several restaurants and working alongside three Michelin-starred chefs in South Florida. A Traveling Chef for two universities and a prestigious Country Club, Chris further expanded his repertoire before transitioning into yachting through connections made from his previous culinary ventures.

Outside of the galley, Chef Chris enjoys traveling and embracing new cultures, drawing inspiration for his culinary creations. He is also a proud cat owner of Clyde, and when he´s not creating gourmet meals, you can find him indulging in his love of baking.
