Navigating Abundance this charter season

Hey Crew !

Charter season is a whirlwind—long hours, endless guest requests, and the constant temptation of leftover breakfast platters and charcuterie boards. While these spreads can feel like lifesavers, they can also lead to mindless eating and stress-fuelled food choices that don't serve your long-term goals.

The secret? An abundance mindset.

Why It Matters

When you're surrounded by food, it's easy to feel the pressure to eat it now, worried you won't get another chance. But remember: there will always be more amazing food tomorrow. Shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance helps you enjoy what you eat mindfully, without guilt or overindulgence.

Practical Tips for Staying Mindful During Charter

1. Pause Before You Pick
   Before diving into the guest food, ask yourself: Am I truly hungry, or just stressed/tired or maybe just excited about the array of options? If it’s stress, take a deep breath, hydrate, or leave the crew mess for a moment.

2. Make It a Meal, Not a Graze
   Instead of snacking mindlessly, create a balanced plate from what's available:

   • Protein (e.g., cold cuts, smoked salmon)

   • Healthy fats (e.g., nuts, avocado)

   • Fresh veggies or fruit

     ⚡️ Plating up food helps you visualise what you are consuming instead of mindlessly grabbing what’s in front of you.

3. Prioritise Hydration
   It’s easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Start with water or tea before reaching for the platter. If you are running around a lot onboard, add electrolytes to your water to ensure you are replenishing any lost trace minerals.

4. Celebrate the Culinary Experience
   Allow yourself to enjoy food made by a superyacht chef, no need to restrict yourself from all the goodness! Slow down, savour the flavours, and remind yourself that there’s always more to enjoy tomorrow.

5. Build a Buffer
   If stress eating feels inevitable, plan your indulgences. For example, allow yourself a treat during the afternoon break or a taste of the dessert during dinner service but stick to nourishing meals the rest of the day.

Embrace the Abundance

Remember, having an abundance of delicious food is a blessing. By being mindful of your choices and honouring your body’s needs, you can enjoy the chef's creations while maintaining balance—both physically and mentally.

You’ve got this. Chef’s next treat is just around the corner.
