CHEF – Kate VanVorst
Nationality: American
STCW 95
Languages: English,

Chef Kate’s relationship with sea and seafood began in her childhood on the mid-Atlantic coast.

She began working in restaurants in her teens, learning from chefs in both pizza kitchens and private country clubs.
Valuing food for its prismatic ability to nurture, entertain, and bring people together, she has long enjoyed cooking for others.

After two seasons as logistics coordinator for a live-aboard summer camp in St. Martin, Kate returned to North Carolina and ran a small concert venue and bar for five years. But the ocean was calling, and Kate returned to the Caribbean as a yacht chef.

4 years and 10,000 nautical miles later, she brings her experience to Namaste.

Outside the galley, Kate loves to hike, swim, and is learning to kite surf.
