Yacht wine supply in Antigua & Barbuda

Antigua holds a very special place in the heart of our founders, Jess and Edward Dunnett, who spent five winters there on board yachts exploring the Caribbean. This firsthand experience gives us an unmatched understanding of what yacht crews and owners need when provisioning in Antigua.

With its 365 beaches and world-class sailing conditions, Antigua is one of the Caribbean's premier yachting destinations. English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour, and Jolly Harbour attract superyachts from around the globe, particularly during the Antigua Charter Yacht Show and Antigua Sailing Week. Nelson's Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains one of the most iconic yacht destinations in the world.

Onshore Cellars delivers wines and spirits to yachts throughout Antigua and Barbuda. We coordinate shipments to arrive before your yacht, ensuring your wine cellar is fully stocked for Caribbean entertaining. From crisp whites and refreshing rosés perfect for beach barbecues to grand cru Champagnes for sunset celebrations, our selection covers every occasion.

We understand the logistics of Caribbean provisioning, including customs clearance and duty considerations. Our team handles all the details so your crew can focus on delivering exceptional service to guests.

FAQs

A yacht wine supplier (also called a yacht wine provisioner) is a specialist merchant that sources, curates, and delivers wines and spirits directly to yachts. Unlike a regular wine shop, a yacht wine supplier understands the unique demands of superyacht provisioning, tight turnaround times, international delivery logistics, onboard storage constraints, and the exacting standards of yacht owners and charter guests.

Onshore Cellars is the leading yacht wine supplier based in the South of France, delivering premium wines, champagne, and spirits to superyachts in Antigua & Barbuda and worldwide. We combine former yacht crew experience with deep wine expertise to deliver the right wines, at the right price, on time.

Our delivery network covers same-day service across the French Riviera (Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez), next-day throughout France and the EU, and worldwide shipping via specialist freight partners experienced in yacht provisioning logistics. We deliver directly to your yacht at the dock or through your port agent.

Our provisioning process is designed for speed and simplicity:

1. Browse and order, Shop our full range of 3,000+ wines and spirits online, download our wine list PDF, or email us your requirements. Many clients send guest preferences or a charter brief and we build a tailored proposal.

We provide detailed tasting notes, serving temperatures, decanting recommendations, and food pairing suggestions for every wine we sell. These are available to download from each product page on our website, perfect for chief stewardesses preparing wine service for a charter.

Tax-free provisioning may be available for qualifying yachts under EU customs regulations. Yachts departing EU waters could be exempt from VAT on wines and spirits provisioned before departure, which can represent significant savings on larger orders.
