Chef: Jacobo Montero Parguina
Nationality: Spanish

In 2023 Jura II spent the winter in La Coruna, Spain. While there, the owners discovered many wonderful restaurants in the city. Returning to one in particular which they had enjoyed, they met the owner and chef, Jacobo. In conversation, Jacobo confessed a desire to go to sea as a Chef aboard a private yacht. Two months later Jacobo was aboard Jura II!

Running his own successful restaurant in La Coruna, where the standard of cuisine is extremely high, he developed a true passion for food preparation. He loves different cuisines from around the world and will delight you with his international cuisine, from Spanish Paella to Thailand Pad Thai. His greatest satisfaction is, when guests come to the galley to tell him they how happy they are with the food he has presented. If you see him jumping off the boat as soon as we touch land, be assured he is off to the local market to find something fresh and delicious for us all to enjoy.
