I suggest that what your potential clients are talking about is a good

Yes, and on a 70 footer should also have a chef's hat and clean white
aprons. :-)

If in doubt, give the clients a choice of several with
resumes/references/price, and let them pick. If your friend with the
boat has a wife who cooks well and likes to entertain, then she would
be the ideal candidate assuming that he is going along as yacht
master.
