Odyssia is a yacht catering company in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and cooking for a yacht is not cooking for a restaurant: limited galley space, guests moving between decks and a sunset that sets the timing. Our menus are led by Executive Chef Leonardo Maltese of Roberto’s, whose team has catered more than 200 private yacht events, and are planned around the yacht, the guest list and the format of the day.
Odyssia handles the menu, the waiters, the bar and the timing, so the food arrives exactly when the moment calls for it.
