RADIANCE ヨットチャーター

Chef Shannon Sanderson
American chef Shannon spent most of her life working in the hospitality and tourism industries on the New England Atlantic coastal island of Martha’s Vineyard. She began to focus on food service by working in front of the house operations in busy restaurants doing everything from bartending to waiting tables. Through this restaurant experience Shannon soon discovered her true passion – the kitchens of these fine restaurants where she apprenticed under several great chefs. Shannon soon turned this experience into her career and learned that she could combine her love of travel and sailing, by working as a chef on board yachts. She started as a stewardess & crew chef on large motor yachts where she always offered to help the owner & guest chef in the galley and continued to learn as much as possible. Since joining RADIANCE, Shannon has been expanding her skill set further and is currently working on perfecting authentic Italian cuisine while also learning to speak Italian. According to Shannon – being able to enjoy a career on the water while giving others a memorable experience through food, travel and laughter is something she truly values more than anything else. Shannon speaks English & Italian.
