With over 45,000 residential yachts and over 100 marinas, Ft. Lauderdale is known as the yachting capital of the world. Provisioning here is relatively easy with many of the local businesses catering specifically to the Yachting community.
Here is a list of some of the provisioning companies that will deliver everything directly to your yacht or estate as well as some of the local businesses often frequented by Chefs.
Provide & Supply
I have been using Greg and his staff at P&S for years and their products are some of the best available! Prompt service, fair prices, quick delivery and being the only authorized D' Artagnan yacht provisioner are what gives them the top spot on my list...
"Since 2014, Provide and Supply has serviced and catered to the yachting community. Our clients, chefs and owners alike continue to fall in love with our products and services. We have expanded our services beyond the yacht community and into the home kitchen."
Publix on 17th street
On any given day you will find several Chefs at this Publix stocking provisions for their yacht. The staff here is very familiar with yachting and are always helpful when you are shopping. This is a great go to if you have a short period of time to shop and need to get almost everything in one stop.
Finster Murphy's Seafood Market on 17th street
This conveniently located fish market gets fresh deliveries daily and the only complaint I have is they are closed Mondays. Every time I have been they have had a broad selection of fresh seafood available. They are also very good at packaging the product to my exact specifications. Give them a day or two to get specialty seafood and crazy big orders but they also have a large enough selection for you to walk in and stock up great product for a last minute week long guest trip.
Owen Doyle Provisions
I have used products from this provisioner that where already on board when I arrived for my trip. I found them to be of a great quality. He has an extensive product list available if you call or email him. 26 years in the business and he also ships to Europe. email requests to info@odp.co or call 1-561-266-9855
Delaware chicken
Delaware Chicken Farm and Seafood are purveyors of fine, fresh seafood, quality hormone free poultry, gourmet meats and specialty game products. From fresh Florida stone crabs shipped throughout the world to Yacht Provisioning and prepared foods, Delaware Chicken, in business since 1951 has it.
Crossian-Time french bakery
I have personally used this bakery for purchasing bread, pastries and croissants for boats I have worked on. Depending on your order you can get same day or one day turnaround for most items. I appreciate the fact that they will make my complete order and freeze it before anything proofs so I can save space and still have excellent fresh made bread and pastries available for my guests.
K&G Brothers Meat Wholesaler
I have never personally used K&G Brothers for my protein provisions but it has been recommended to me by other yacht Chefs. They do not have a website but after calling them I found out they carry Halperns' product line. They are located on 34th street and their phone # is 1-954-576-1505
National Marine suppliers
This is one of the largest companies in the world servicing all aspects of yachting needs. This includes provisions and they have been supplying yachts worldwide for 26years from their location on 2nd Ave in Ft. Lauderdale. If you have a particularly difficult provisioning request these guys although expensive can most likely make it happen.
Yacht Chandlers
Another large yachting needs company with a provisioning department that has been servicing yachts for over 21 years. Yacht Chandlers can handle almost any provisioning request. Their team is led by a 10 year yacht experienced Chef.
Whole foods
Whole foods on Federal Highway is experienced with yacht Chef needs and has a vast selection of provisions if you have the time and transportation to provision yourself.
