WELCOME ABOARD
Hi I’m Bea, the face behind The Rolling Galley.
My passion for cooking came alive in the early 2000s while working as a stew/cook aboard a private sportfishing vessel. I never imagined 18 years later after having a family and running our own fishing charter business and lodge I’d find myself back living on the ocean full time. This time aboard our own 46-foot catamaran, with my partner Tony and our two water kids Sami and Brooke.
Life on the water has brought me back to the things I love most, cooking, creating, and making the most out of what we have left in the cupboards.
Living and travelling aboard our floating home means fresh produce can be hard to find, supplies need to last for weeks, and every meal is made with what we have on hand. From simply boiling the perfect egg to making a beautiful Mexican flan, I’ve learned that cooking in a tiny galley doesn’t mean compromising on good nutritious food.
As our family sails around the world, exploring new countries and cultures, I’m constantly inspired by the food, flavours and experiences along the way. Some days we’re cooking at anchor in paradise, other days we’re rolling at sea and making do with whatever is in the fridge.
This is real food, real life and living off grid — from my rolling galley to yours.
