In the world of luxury travel, gastronomy transcends mere sustenance—it becomes an integral part of the adventure. Italy, with its rich culinary heritage and dynamic regional flavours, offers a beautiful backdrop for epicurean experiences, especially for those on board yachts or in villas.
Picture yourself relaxing on the aft deck of a superyacht as the sun dips below the horizon. The heady fragrance of freshly baked focaccia—its golden crust still warm from the oven—fills the air as you take your seat at the table. A chef prepares fresh pesto to accompany grilled vegetables. Your palate honed on perfectly seared fish, its delicate texture boosted by the zest of Amalfi lemons, paired with a glass of chilled Vermentino, its citrus aroma and floral notes mingling with hints of herbs. The crisp crack of a shell as you open a lobster tail, revealing the sweet, tender meat inside. The scent of agrume-infused olive oil, mixed with the sharpness of aged balsamic vinegar, ignites your anticipation for the meal ahead.
Given the diversity of Soluce’s clientele, provisioning is more than just sourcing and delivering food; it’s a sensory experience. In Italy, a country where gastronomy is an art form, Soluce invites you to slow down and indulge in the finer things in life.
Sustainability at our core: More than just provisioning
Covering superyacht and villa provisioning in one blog does create a challenge! However, the core elements that have never floundered have been our principles of transparency, in-depth knowledge of regional and international providers and sustainable practices.
Whether it’s finding the best Parmigiano-Reggiano aged to perfection, selecting rare truffles from Piedmont, or supplying the freshest catch from the coast, our network of trusted suppliers guarantees world-class quality. We’re committed to excellence, beginning the moment you contact us.
We offer full or partial provisioning for superyachts and villas in Italy, with practical choices that align with our clients’ daily routines. From succulent meats such as lamb, beef or veal straight from the farm, Wagyu, game meats, to dry foods, Livornese eggs, wines, Champagnes, floral arrangements, specialty items or the freshest fish and seafood such as premium crab meat, black cod or King scallops in shell. For those with dietary needs, Soluce is efficient at sourcing and preparing provisions that meet specific requests. Whether you’re seeking halal or kosher meats, or organic food and superfoods, every delivery respects individual preferences.
Timing is crucial and our attention to detail goes beyond essential ingredients. Soluce’s on-demand provisioning ensures that everything will arrive packed exactly to specification. Meat and fish can be jointed, filleted or pin boned, and we can snap freeze or deliver sous vide preparations – directly to you on board or at your villa.
We take great care to ensure that products are sustainably farmed, ethically sourced, and come with a pedigree of provenance. By sourcing locally, often from within a 0 km radius, we reduce the environmental impact of shipping, whilst ensure that provisions are not only fresh but also support local businesses and traditions. This approach guarantees that every ingredient has a story, connecting clients to the land and its farmers, fishermen and market growers. Every delivery to a Soluce-provisioned yacht or villa is our commitment to preserving Italy’s culinary heritage.
Private dining experiences in Italy
Dining preferences do tend to change when people travel – they can develop new food routines – combined with time constraints and availability of ingredients. These are the moments where our local knowledge is encyclopaedic—managing luxury provisioning or sourcing world-class chefs.
Every memorable dish starts with great produce, however food isn’t just about taste; it’s also about nourishment and enjoying an experience that should match the surroundings of your yacht or villa. Great food is a facilitator to ignite memories, and shared meals not only remind people of history and traditions, but give daily doses of delicious inspiration.
From the fresh, grassy notes of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to the earthy scent of truffles, each ingredient makes up a journey through Italy’s diverse regions. For those seeking something beyond the ordinary, Soluce arranges private gastronomic experiences that demonstrate a deep respect for the aromas and flavours of Italy’s cuisine. Explore hillsides terraced with small plots of vines highlighting centuries of viticulture, while a sommelier guides you through a curated wine tasting paired with a Tuscan feast of local delicacies. So many cellar doors, so little time.
Or perhaps a private chef, handpicked for your Amalfi Coast villa, makes a multi-course feast showcasing the creamy texture of buffalo mozzarella from Campania, the high-quality vegetables from Lazio or heirloom tomatoes from Sicily. The real highlight of being located near to the coast is that seafood also features prominently in dishes with salt-crusted sea bass, anchovies, clams, pesce crudo, and oysters.
