About Us

Our story begins with a seasoned gourmet yacht chef who, throughout a distinguished career on mega yachts, often struggled to find local suppliers capable of meeting the high standards required for gourmet meals.

Under star-filled skies, the crew would often share dreams of "life after yachting." It was during these late-night conversations that the idea to provide premium quality and reliable provisioning services to yacht chefs and their guests took shape.

After hanging up his chef's jacket, he journeyed to Los Sueños at Herradura on Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast. The year-round availability of fresh fruits and vegetables in the area made the dream feasible. When a dockside store at Los Suenos Marina became available, the vision became a reality, and in May 2007, a new provisioning service opened its doors ¨JimmyT´s¨ gourmet market.

Since then, the business has evolved, adding private chef services, catering and even a pizzeria. 

In 2024, it will be rebranded as Pura Provisions, unifying all its great services under a single, clearly defined brand that embodies the best of two cultures: the warmth of Costa Rica's inhabitants and the quality of US service.

    We host catered dinners often in our Los Sueños residence and the staff from Pura Provisions has always been excellent. They are willing to prepare a personalized menu, and the preparation and quality of the food has always been outstanding. The events manager is a pleasure to work with and she makes sure every guest has a great time.

    First and foremost, I would like to introduce myself. I am Eduardo Pulles, an Aviation Engineer who travels worldwide for a living. Recently, I had the privilege of vacationing in Los Sueños with my entire family of 16. The experience provided by Events Manager in food and beverage and managing the store was exceptional. Their unique approach and dedication set them apart. I can't praise your team in Los Sueños enough! Nowhere else in the world have I encountered such phenomenal treatment as I did with your team. Congratulations to your team for providing my family with such a wonderful experience THANK YOU on behalf of my entire family!

    We recently hired Pura Provisions Chef Services in Los Sueños, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. The quality of the food was exceptional-every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive, with the team being attentive, professional, and accommodating to our needs. Pura Provisions truly delivered a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!
