“Our guests turn to The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection for enriching sensory experiences, not only within the destinations we travel to but also throughout their time spent onboard,” expressed Jim Murren, executive chairman and CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “The internationally inspired culinary program on Ilma introduces yet another extraordinary dimension to our journey of discovery, reinforcing our dedication to unparalleled voyages at sea.”

 

Chef Fabio Trabocchi curated Seta su Ilma, a fine-dining modern Italian restaurant that draws inspiration from his heritage, while Chef Michael Mina collaborated on Beach House, an open-air eatery with a Pan-Latin and Caribbean menu. These outlets mark both chefs first ventures at sea. The restaurants join Memorī, serving Pan-Asian; Mistral, boasting Mediterranean flavors; and Tides, with a regionally inspired menu.

“The Seta su Ilma experience will be inspired by my love for the sea in the magnificent setting of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. The exquisite Italian coastal cuisine will be our inspiration for a journey of elegance and timeless beauty as part of La Dolce Vita,” said Trabocchi.

 

Ilma is set to sail its maiden voyage from Monte Carlo to Rome on Sept. 2.

 

“The Beach House will be the ultimate culinary complement to Ilma,” said Mina. “I have always been fascinated with the powerful flavors and vibrant energy of the countries that make up Latin America and the Caribbean, and I have dreamed of bringing an array of their ingredients together one day. I am thrilled to be collaborating with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to introduce this new restaurant to Ilma’s guests.”
