Driven by passion and backed by science, The Yacht Nutritionist was created with a clear purpose: to help yacht crew reclaim the wellness and confidence they deserve—both with food and their bodies—not just onboard but for life.

Founded by Katrina d’Artois, a former yacht crew member and BSc certified nutritionist, Katrina built this brand as an extension of her personal journey. With her own struggles with food and body image most of her life, working on yachts made it all worse, she was determined to change her story, she decided to dive deep into the science world of nutrition.

First, taking a year to study Naturopathy, then completing a BSc in Human Nutrition. During her studies, she saw that many yacht crew were dealing with the same issues she had faced, but now she had the answers

Originally from Montreal, Quebec, her journey into yachting began in 2012 when a yacht captain, after taking some of her yoga classes, offered her a position on his 40-meter yacht.

Katrina spent three years on that boat but was quickly faced with a tough reality: the food environment onboard was challenging for her.

She gained 10kg during her first Med season, which brought emotional ups and downs and made the job even more stressful. It became clear that her struggles were not just about the environment but also about her restrictive mindset and lack of nutritional knowledge at the time and following the latest diet trends.

“I do what I do because I’ve been where my clients are—struggling with food, battling body image issues, and feeling lost in the search for balance. As a former yacht crew member, I know how isolating and overwhelming it can be to juggle the demands of the job while trying to stay healthy. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others break the cycle of obsessing about food and discover a healthier, more empowered and peaceful way to live. I’ve experienced firsthand the transformation that comes from building a better relationship with food, and my mission is to guide others on that same journey, offering support, science, and my proven method every step of the way.” – Katrina d’Artois​

“That was a turning point for me — I realized I had the chance to help others who were struggling just like I had, and I had to help.”
