Dining on ETERNAL SPARK During the San Remo Yacht Show

On the evening of March 27th, just one day before the San Remo Yacht Show officially opened, ETERNAL SPARK yacht hosted a private dinner on board. The purpose was simple but important: to run a full rehearsal of the yacht’s dining service before welcoming charter guests for the upcoming season. And from the guest perspective, the result was a seamless, confident performance by a crew that clearly understands what high-end hospitality should feel like.

The setting was the aft deck of ETERNAL SPARK, styled for a formal evening at sea. The table decor struck a balance between structure and warmth — crisp linen, elegant glassware, subtle florals, and marine-inspired tones that complemented the yacht’s interior palette.

Lighting was understated, designed to highlight the table without competing with the harbour view. The overall feel was professional without being rigid, which would set the tone for the entire evening.

The Tasting Menu: Precision Over Flash

The dinner unfolded across five courses, each focused on balance, clarity, and execution.  The lobster bisque arrived hot, not warm, a subtle but telling sign of a crew that understands service timing. It was plated cleanly, with no need for embellishment.

Next came a scallop dish, lightly seared and served with a delicate reduction. The sauce wasn’t overpowering — just enough to bring warmth and structure to the plate. The scallops were consistent in size and texture, handled with precision and confidence.

The third course served as a palate cleanser: a crisp lime and green salad. The dressing was bright but not acidic, and the greens were cold and fresh. There was no complexity here, nor did there need to be. It functioned exactly as intended — a reset between seafood courses, allowing the conversation and wine to flow naturally in between.

The fourth course was pasta, paired with a medley of shellfish. While the exact types weren’t announced, the dish leaned Mediterranean in character — likely clams and mussels — set in a light broth that respected the ingredients. The pasta was properly al dente, the shellfish tender, and the portion just right for the pacing of the evening. It was the most substantial course, though still comfortably light.

Dessert followed shortly: a handmade vanilla ice cream served alongside a slice of house-made cake. The ice cream had noticeable density and flavor — clearly not from a carton — and the cake was moist with a restrained sweetness. Together, they closed the meal on a calm and satisfying note.

A Crew That Understands Charter Standards

From the guest’s seat, what stood out most wasn’t the menu — but the way it was delivered. The crew worked as a coordinated unit, staying alert but never intrusive. Dishes were served in unison, cleared promptly, and wine was refilled without asking. The service felt natural, not rehearsed, and each guest was allowed to relax into the evening without interruption.

These are the service details that separate a good charter from a great one. And on ETERNAL SPARK, that standard appears to be embedded into the culture.

What to Expect When You Charter ETERNAL SPARK

For anyone considering a charter, this dinner offers a clear preview of what the onboard experience looks and feels like. It’s not about flashy plating or culinary theatrics — it’s about calm, elegant dining where every detail is under control. Guests can expect proper pacing, excellent service awareness, and food that’s clean, well-made, and well-timed.

The crew’s ability to manage the flow of a multi-course meal while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere is especially valuable, particularly on longer itineraries where consistency matters.

The dinner also confirmed another strength of ETERNAL SPARK: her ability to host.
