Private & Luxury Events
Yacht, Private Jet and VIP Catering in Medellín
Medellin Elite Catering prepares yacht, private jet and VIP catering in Medellín for clients who need excellent food delivered somewhere unusual, on a strict schedule and without anyone talking about it afterward. We cook in our own production kitchen and deliver to the aircraft handover point, the boat dock or the private residence.
Our VIP work covers executives flying in and out of José María Córdova and Olaya Herrera, families chartering boats on the Guatapé reservoir, and public figures who want a private dinner in a villa rather than a restaurant table. Every request is handled by one bilingual coordinator from first message to last tray.
We have catered in Medellín since 2019, and VIP orders are the ones where precision matters most. A meal for a flight has to survive hours in a galley, a boat menu has to wait in a cooler, and a private dinner has to stay private.

Plan your event
Our VIP and Luxury Catering
Our VIP and luxury catering covers three services: meal trays for private flights, cooler-ready menus for boat charters, and discreet staffed events for executives and public figures. Each order is quoted individually, with the menu, packaging and logistics built around the client.
What ties them together is control: one coordinator, a small team drawn from our regular staff, allergen labels on every item and a confirmed timeline. We work directly with your assistant, pilot, captain or security lead, in English or Spanish.
For a private dinner at a villa without the aviation or boat logistics, our dinner party catering is the closer match. Most of those dinners take place in the penthouses and villas covered by our catering in El Poblado service.
Private Jet Catering
We prepare private jet catering for flights leaving Olaya Herrera, in the city, and José María Córdova in Rionegro, delivered to the handling agent or FBO your crew uses. Our team does not go airside: we hand the order to the crew or the handling company at the agreed point and time.
Olaya Herrera sits beside Belén, 15 to 30 minutes from our kitchen, while José María Córdova is about an hour or more away through the Túnel de Oriente or over the Las Palmas road, so we leave early. Delivery is timed to reach the handover point 60 to 90 minutes before departure, unless the crew asks otherwise. For flights at short notice, put the departure time at the top of the quote form so the coordinator can prioritize it.
Hot dishes are cooked, chilled below 5 °C in our blast chiller and packed in sealed, labeled containers with reheating notes for the galley oven. Cold items, fruit and cheese plates travel in insulated carriers, and every container lists its allergens.
Boat and Yacht Catering in Guatapé
For boat charters on the Peñol-Guatapé reservoir, we prepare cooler-ready menus that stay cold for hours and are easy to serve on deck. We deliver to the dock or the charter's meeting point in Guatapé, and the boat's crew takes it from there.
Guatapé is about 2 hours from our kitchen, so the van leaves in the early morning for midday departures. Food rides in insulated carriers with ice packs, below 5 °C, with a simple serving plan for the crew.
The best boat menus need no cooking on board: ceviche and tiradito, cold lobster or langostinos, sushi, grain salads, cheese boards, wraps and fresh fruit with lime. Drinks come in sealed bottles and cans with shatterproof glasses for the deck, and leftovers and trash are bagged to travel back with you.
VIP Events and Security
Yes, we sign NDAs and work alongside your security team for high-profile events. Only the coordinator and the assigned staff know the client's identity and address, and nobody on our team takes photos or posts about the event.
We staff VIP events from our regular team rather than temporary hires, and send the security lead each staff member's full name and cédula number in advance for the access list. On the day, the team follows the security plan: agreed entry points, a fixed headcount, personal devices stored during service if requested, and no unannounced deliveries.
If the event is in a gated community or a hotel suite, we register our van and staff with building or hotel security a day ahead. Guests with severe allergies are handled under the same protocols as our allergy-friendly catering, with separate preparation and labeled plates.
Luxury Menus
Our luxury menus are written for each client, around premium ingredients such as caviar, fresh seafood from both Colombian coasts, wagyu or dry-aged beef and seasonal Colombian produce. If you have a favorite dish, a rider or a dietary protocol, we cook to it.
Caviar is served on ice with blinis and crème fraîche, and seafood can include Pacific langostinos, octopus, corvina and Caribbean lobster when it is in season. Imported items such as caviar and wagyu are sourced per order, so we confirm availability before quoting.
We pair the menu with fine wines, champagne or aged rum, and every bottle of spirits carries the Antioquia tax stamp. International guests also enjoy Colombian luxury touches: a tasting of specialty coffees, artisan chocolate made from Colombian cacao, or a refined bandeja paisa served as small plates.
Questions and answers
VIP FAQs
What notice do you need for a jet order?
We ask for 48 hours' notice for private jet orders, the same as our other drop-off orders, so the kitchen can source and prepare everything properly. With less notice, send the departure time, airport and passenger count and we will tell you what the kitchen can still deliver.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, we sign your NDA before we receive the passenger list, guest list or address. It covers our coordinator and every staff member assigned to the event, and no photos or client details ever appear in our marketing.
