Chef Sandra “Sandy” Ochoa
Raised in Key West, Florida, Chef Sandy Ochoa began her journey in hospitality at just 14 years old, quickly discovering a passion that would shape her career. From an early age, she was drawn to the way food brings people together — a universal language that connects across cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

At 19, Sandy moved to Maui, Hawaii, where she trained under multiple chefs and further developed her culinary skills. She also gained valuable experience working at a zero-waste vegetarian restaurant, strengthening her ability to create thoughtful and delicious dishes for vegan, gluten-free, and celiac diets, as well as accommodating a variety of dietary preferences and sensitivities.

Her culinary style is rooted in tropical ingredients and coastal cuisine, inspired by the regions she has lived and worked in. Most recently, Sandy spent two years in Charleston, South Carolina, serving as Head Chef at LTLE FISH, a speakeasy-style raw bar in the heart of the city, where she refined her approach to fresh seafood and innovative presentations.

Sandy’s connection to the water runs deep. In her late teens, she spent time living aboard a 30-foot monohull, embracing a minimalist lifestyle and learning to create flavorful meals with limited resources — an experience that sparked her dream of becoming a yacht chef.

Passionate, creative, and adaptable, Chef Sandy brings warmth, intention, and bold flavor to every meal, creating memorable dining experiences that reflect her love for the ocean and the people she serves.
