ASHORE
Fort Lauderdale · to · Miami
Private chefs and estate staff, from the yacht corridor.
Most agencies hide their fee and start searching the day you sign. We do the opposite.
20% of first-year salary, paid only when your hire completes their trial. Travel and rotational roles 22%; international searches from 25%. No retainer, no minimum.
We don't start searching when you sign — we start matching. Our bench is vetted in advance, so you see real candidates within 72 hours and a full shortlist within 7 days.
The best chefs talk to each other, and they send their friends to the people who treat them well. That's why our bench reaches talent other agencies can't.
South Florida's best private-service professionals move between yachts and estates. We're built around that corridor — chef-led, kitchen and interior only.
We stay in one lane — kitchen and interior — so our bench runs deep where it counts. We don't place nannies, gardeners, or drivers.
Our home and our talent engine is South Florida — but our clients aren't only there, and neither are our searches.
Jupiter Island, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami — where the world's yacht crew comes ashore. It's our home turf and the deepest part of our bench.
We run searches for households well beyond Florida, placing locally work-authorized chefs and crew wherever our clients call home.
20 minutes on the phone — role, household rhythm, cuisine, formality, travel. No retainer, no commitment.
Profiles from our vetted bench, matched to your brief — not a job posting and a wait.
Reference-checked candidates, with interviews and tastings arranged around your schedule.
Your hire starts a 3-week working trial. Our fee is due only when it succeeds. If they leave within 75 days, we replace them free.
flat — and nothing owed until your hire sticks.
Yacht desk runs on a separate, owner-paid schedule (industry norms). Crew are never charged.
Ashore places private chefs and the housekeepers, butlers, and crew who run serious households — on land and at sea. We work the Fort Lauderdale–to–Miami corridor primarily, plus London and Monaco and other markets as we grow. We keep a vetted bench of candidates, so you see your first people within about 72 hours and a full shortlist within the week. That's the whole focus: a deep bench in one lane, and people who actually pick up the phone.
Coming off a charter season, leaving the brigade, or ready to swap the crew mess for your own cottage on the property — we place chefs, stews, housekeepers, and butlers with serious households from Jupiter Island to Miami, and on the boats in between.
