Chef - JEREMIAH BLANKENSHIP
A fourth generation Alaskan, Jeremiah Blankenship (who goes by "JB") grew up on the waters of Southeast Alaska. With his parents on their live-aboard boat, he began his life in Juneau and a lifelong love for all Alaskan seafood and wild game. His early working years began following the footsteps of several generations before him into commercial fishing and then as a shipyard welder. But Chef Jeremiah is innately driven by a passion for food and all things culinary. He developed skills in scratch cooking, catering, and perfecting his Alaskan seafood dishes.
After two decades in kitchens on land, JB found an opportunity to start crewing as a chef on various yachts in the late 2000's. Jeremiah completed additional Culinary Training in Seattle and went on to cook in several premiere Seattle kitchens where he worked alongside notable chefs. In his down time, JB cooks for friends and a very extended family, he volunteers his chef’s expertise for community events and causes, and he especially enjoys spending time with family and close friends fishing all throughout his beloved waters of Alaska’s panhandle.

The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. Charter Index is a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed, it is not always clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we endeavour to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on Charter Index should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by the representatives of a yacht.
