A Culinary Journey at Sea

Ocean Live Cooking

Ocean Live Cooking is not just a chef preparing food on board — it is a carefully curated experience that celebrates the soul of Cretan tradition, enhanced by the elegance of fine dining.

We use earthy, authentic cooking tools and presentation elements inspired by the natural beauty of Crete — wood, stone, ceramics — to create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and refined. The dishes are prepared live, in front of our guests, using fresh, local ingredients and age-old recipes that tell the story of our land.

This is not just a meal — it’s a culinary journey that honors Cretan treasures, combining heartfelt hospitality, thoughtful storytelling, and high-quality service.

Discover the taste of Crete through a unique experience that brings together tradition, nature, and refined simplicity.

Ocean Cooking Experience – A Feast of the Senses

At Spinalonga Yachting, we believe that the true essence of Crete is best experienced through its flavors, traditions, and the warmth of its hospitality. That’s why our cruises go beyond the breathtaking landscapes and take you on a culinary journey like no other.

Imagine dining where the horizon meets the deep blue, with the gentle rhythm of the waves as your backdrop and the aroma of fresh seafood sizzling on the grill. At Spinalonga Yachting, we don’t just serve meals—we create a gastronomic experience woven into the magic of the sea. Our Ocean Live Cooking brings together the finest local ingredients, traditional Cretan recipes, and the immersive charm of dining in the open air, making every bite a memory of the journey itself.

Let the sea set the stage, the ingredients tell the story, and the hospitality make you feel at home. The Ocean Cooking Experience is more than a meal—it’s a moment of indulgence, a fusion of adventure and flavor, and a true taste of Crete’s soul.

Rooted in Tradition, Elevated by Creativity

Is not just rustic cooking. It’s an elevated experience, where every dish is plated with fine-dining finesse and served with stories — stories of the land, the people, and the flavors that have defined Cretan life for generations. The table becomes a stage, the chef a storyteller, and every course a chapter of your sea-bound journey.
