Your yacht's wine supplier

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, duty-free customs procedures, 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, serving superyachts, motor yachts, and sailing yachts worldwide. We combine former yacht crew experience with deep wine expertise to deliver premium wines, champagne, and spirits to any port or marina in the Mediterranean and beyond.

We deliver to all major Mediterranean ports and marinas, with same-day delivery across the French Riviera including Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Villefranche, and Port Vauban. Our regular delivery routes also cover Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Genoa, La Spezia, Naples, Sardinia, and all ports along the Côte d'Azur.

For worldwide delivery, we ship to the Caribbean (St Barts, Antigua, Sint Maarten), the Middle East (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), Greece (Athens, Mykonos, Santorini), Turkey, Croatia, Montenegro, and any other port your yacht is visiting. We work with specialist freight partners experienced in yacht provisioning logistics to ensure your wine arrives in perfect condition.

Our yacht provisioning process is designed for speed and simplicity:

3. Fast delivery, Same-day delivery across the Côte d'Azur, next-day throughout France and the EU, or worldwide shipping. We deliver directly to your yacht at the dock, marina, or through your yacht agent.

4. Ongoing support, Reorder online anytime, access your order history through our customer portal, track deliveries, and download invoices. We also offer wine storage during yard periods and WSET training for crew.

Yes, charter yacht provisioning is one of our core specialities. We work with charter management companies, captains, and chief stewardesses to supply wines and spirits for every charter. Our service includes:

• Charter-specific wine lists tailored to guest nationality, dietary preferences, itinerary, and budget
• Rapid turnaround between charters with same-day delivery on the Côte d'Azur
• Flexible ordering, top up mid-charter with additional wines delivered to your next port of call
• Tax-free provisioning for qualifying vessels departing EU ports
• Returns of unopened stock for better cost management between charters

Many charter yachts use us as their sole wine supplier season after season because of our reliability, competitive pricing, and understanding of guest expectations.

A reliable starting point from our own order data: across 24 months of charter provisioning, the median wine order is around 36 bottles, typically for 8 guests over 7 nights, roughly 0.6–0.7 bottles per guest per night. If all meals are taken aboard, plan for about half as much again.

The typical charter mix is around 28% white, 24% red, 23% rosé, 19% champagne, with the balance other sparkling wines, though this shifts with season, itinerary, and guest preferences.

Our charter wine builder applies these ratios automatically: enter guests and nights and it suggests quantities and a starting list built from what yachts actually order, which you can then adjust bottle by bottle.

We stock over 1,500 different wines, champagnes and spirits from all major wine-producing regions worldwide. Our range is specifically curated for the yacht market and includes:

• French wines, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Rhône Valley, Provence rosé, Loire, Alsace
• Italian wines, Tuscany (Brunello, Super Tuscans), Piedmont (Barolo, Barbaresco), Veneto (Amarone)
• New World wines, California (Napa Valley), Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, South Africa
• Champagne, Dom Pérignon, Krug, Ruinart, Billecart-Salmon, Salon, and grower champagnes
• Spirits, Premium whisky, gin, vodka, rum, tequila, cognac, and liqueurs
• Cocktail ingredients, Mixers, bitters, vermouths, and everything for a professional yacht bar

We can also source rare vintages, large format bottles, and hard-to-find wines through our network of producers and negociants.

Absolutely, food and wine pairing is one of our strengths. Send us your chef's menu and we'll recommend specific wines for each course, with alternatives at different price points. Our team includes WSET-qualified wine professionals who understand fine dining service.

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.

We handle all the customs documentation required for duty-free yacht provisioning. This is subject to strict conditions and eligibility. Contact us to find out whether your yacht qualifies.

We offer multiple ways to order, designed to fit how yacht crew actually work:

Yes. Our yacht bar builder stocks the whole bar in one visit: twelve aisles from vodka to vermouth, best sellers first, with origin and price filters. Describe what you're serving, “margaritas and negronis for ten”, and our AI proposes a complete, in-stock bar list you can adjust line by line.

The bar builder shares a cart with the charter wine builder, so one checkout or one quote covers wines, champagne, and spirits together.

Former yacht crew: We founded Onshore Cellars because we experienced the frustrations of unreliable wine suppliers first-hand while working on yachts. Our team understands turnaround pressures, guest expectations, and the operational reality of life on board.

Expert curation: We don't just sell wine, we recommend the right wines for your specific situation. Our WSET-qualified team provides genuine sommelier-level guidance, not just a product catalogue.

Our regular delivery routes cover the Western Mediterranean (France, Spain, Italy, Sardinia, Corsica) and we arrange freight to Eastern Mediterranean ports (Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Turkey) via our logistics partners.

Whether your yacht is in Palma de Mallorca, Porto Cervo, Mykonos, or Bodrum, we can deliver wines and spirits in perfect condition with full chain-of-custody from our temperature-controlled warehouse.

A superyacht wine programme requires a completely different approach from standard wine retail. Yacht owners and charter guests expect exceptional quality, flawless presentation, and wines that match their preferences, often across multiple cuisines and occasions during a single voyage.

At Onshore Cellars, our superyacht wine supply service includes:

• Owner profiling, We learn each owner's preferences, favourite producers, preferred regions, and budget expectations
• Charter guest briefing, We help chief stewardesses prepare wine selections based on guest nationality, dietary requirements, and charter itinerary
• Cellar management, We track your yacht's wine inventory, suggest replenishment, and manage storage during yard periods
• Allocation access, Priority access to limited-production wines, prestige cuvées, and rare vintages through our direct producer relationships

A yacht provisioner (also called a yacht provisioning company) typically supplies everything a yacht needs, food, beverages, cleaning supplies, deck equipment, and more. A yacht wine supplier is a specialist merchant focused exclusively on wines, champagne, spirits, and beverages.

Onshore Cellars is a specialist yacht wine and spirits supplier, this is all we do, and we do it exceptionally well. Our advantage over general provisioners is deep wine expertise: WSET-qualified staff, direct producer relationships, expert food pairing advice, and a curated range of over 1,500 products in stock specifically selected for the yacht market. Many general provisioners subcontract their wine orders to us.

We work alongside your existing provisioner or yacht management company, handling the wine and spirits while they handle food and other supplies.

Absolutely. While we're known for superyacht wine provisioning, we supply wines and spirits to vessels of all sizes, from 30-foot sailing yachts to 150-metre megayachts. There's no minimum vessel size, and our minimum order is just €200 for delivery on the French Riviera (no minimum for collection from our South of France warehouse).

Whether you're provisioning a day charter, a weekend sailing trip, or a transatlantic crossing, our team will help you choose the right wines for your voyage. We can suggest wines that travel well, recommend robust bottles that handle the motion of smaller vessels, and advise on proper onboard storage to keep your wines in the best possible condition.
