01 — About Troy
The chef who builds the galley,
Troy Davidson is a New Zealand superyacht chef and galley consultant with a rare double fluency — the artistry of world-class cuisine and the engineering of the kitchen it comes from.
Over twenty-five years, Troy has delivered refined, high-end cuisine across superyachts, luxury villas, private jets and estates worldwide — from a 110m build to a boutique tasting — bringing calm leadership, logistical precision and consistently beautiful food to the table.
He served more than a decade as executive chef to a UHNW family, running global culinary operations across their 60m Feadship, 83m Abeking & Rasmussen and 110m Oceanco, plus residences in Las Vegas, Beverly Hills and the Caribbean. He has led full galley fit-outs with Feadship, Lürssen and Oceanco — equipment, provisioning systems, uniforms and full crew hires.
At the Sydney Olympic Games he ran kitchen production for a 50-plus chef brigade, serving up to 6,000 covers a day for major sponsors. He knows what works onboard — and what doesn't.
