Mile Marker 61
Private Chef in Duck Key
Resort-style private dining on a secluded island paradise — in-villa meals crafted with fresh local seafood.
Duck Key is one of the Florida Keys' most exclusive island communities — a small, private enclave at Mile Marker 61 connected to the Overseas Highway by a single causeway. Home to the iconic Hawks Cay Resort and dozens of stunning waterfront vacation rentals, it's the kind of place where you come to disconnect from the world and reconnect with the people who matter most.
A private chef on Duck Key means you never have to leave the island. We bring fresh local seafood, custom menus, and a full-service dining experience directly to your villa, rental home, or resort suite — and leave your kitchen spotless when we're done.
Why Duck Key
Hawks Cay Resort
One of the premier family resorts in the Florida Keys, with world-class marina, pools, and vacation villas perfect for private dining.
Private Marina
Duck Key's deep-water marina draws boaters and fishing enthusiasts — return from the water to a meal already prepared.
Dolphin Encounters
Swim with dolphins at the resort's Dolphin Connection. After a day of island adventures, a private chef dinner is the perfect ending.
Secluded Island Living
A small causeway separates Duck Key from the highway. Limited restaurants make a private chef essential for luxury stays.

We had Chef come to our rental on Duck Key three nights in a row. The kids were in the pool, we were on the deck with wine, and dinner just appeared. It was the best family vacation we've ever had.
Private Client, Duck Key
Your Duck Key Advantage
Duck Key is just minutes from our home base in Marathon — which means no travel surcharges and maximum flexibility. We know the island, we know the kitchens in the rentals, and we know where to source the freshest catch from the local docks. Whether you're at Hawks Cay or in a private waterfront home on the south side of the island, we've cooked there.
With only a handful of dining options on the island itself, a private chef isn't just a luxury on Duck Key — it's the smartest way to eat. Skip the drive back to the highway. We bring the restaurant to you.
