Every bottle, every document, every answer — ready before you ask.

The most integrated yacht wine supplier on the water. Built by former crew, trusted by captains, chosen by owners.

Twenty reasons yachts choose Onshore Cellars

From the vineyards of the South of France to the deck of your yacht, we've built our service around one promise: less admin for you, more expertise from us. Here's what that looks like in practice — twenty concrete ways we make the life of a yacht stew, captain, owner, or broker a little easier, every single day.

Speed & Discovery

01. Snap a label. Order the bottle. In seconds.

Your chief stew photographs a wine a guest loved last night. Before the next service, it's identified, priced, and on its way to the dock. No typing, no guessing, no "I'll get back to you tomorrow."

02. Your cellar. Every yacht. Always in your pocket.

Whether your fleet is two boats or twenty, every bottle on every vessel is tracked, counted, and a tap away. Never double-order. Never discover an empty cellar at the worst moment. Your wine inventory finally keeps up with your yacht.

03. Charter quotes in minutes — not days.

Tell us the guest count, the itinerary, and the budget. We build the wine list, check every bottle against your delivery date, and flag anything that won't make it in time. You send it to your client before they've finished their coffee.

04. Filter 3,000 wines like a Michelin sommelier.

Parker 93+. Burgundy. 2019. Under €150. Biodynamic. In stock. Four clicks from 3,000 bottles to exactly what you need. Your clients don't want to scroll. They want the answer.

Service & Expertise

05. Every bottle, briefed.

Every wine we sell comes with a one-page briefing — tasting notes, pairing suggestions, serving temperature, the producer's story. Your chief stew hands it to the guest. The guest thinks you're a genius. You just look good.

06. Turn any wine list into a client-ready PDF. Instantly.

"Rosés under €40 for summer." "All Champagne available by Friday." "Every Burgundy in stock above 93 points." Whatever filter you build, we turn it into a beautifully branded catalogue in one click. Ready to forward to your client. Ready to impress.

07. Your order history. Your reorder button.

The case that worked last summer? One tap. The Champagne the owner never tires of? Reordered in seconds. Your past becomes your shortcut — and our system remembers so you don't have to.

08. Track every bottle to the dock. Live.

See the driver on the map. Watch the ETA tick down. Know the exact minute the delivery hits your marina — so the crew, the chef, and the guest schedule all align. No phone tag. No guessing. No nasty surprises.

Global Reach & Reliability

09. A sommelier on board. 24 hours a day.

Is the wine corked? What pairs with the chef's tasting menu tonight? What can I make from the spirits on board? Our AI sommelier answers every question, every time, in seconds — trained specifically on the realities of yacht service.

10. Speaks your crew's language. Pays in your owner's currency.

English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese. Euros, sterling, dollars. From the Caribbean to the Côte d'Azur, nobody in your operation has to translate, convert, or explain. Everyone just works.

11. Any document. Any format. In 200 milliseconds.

Tasting notes, formal quotes, packing slips, delivery notes, customs declarations, year-end statements, cellar inventories, cocktail recipes, filtered wine lists. Whatever your client needs, whatever format they want — it's ready before they finish asking. Seventeen types of document. One click each.

12. The stock you see is the stock you get.

When we say it's in stock, it's actually in stock — updated every thirty minutes across every screen, every list, every quote. No more "sorry, we just ran out" on charter turnaround day. When we promise it, we mean it.

Behind the Scenes

13. Packed and ready before you've confirmed the order.

The moment your order is placed, the system builds the perfect shipping configuration — heavy cases grouped, fragile Champagne protected, packing slips printed. Every box is optimised before a human lifts a bottle. Faster shipping. Fewer breakages. Nothing missing at the dock.

14. We know your yacht. Before you call.

Tell us the vessel name, or just the MMSI. We already have the history, the crew notes, the owner's preferences, and the last twenty-four orders on the screen. We can see where you are right now. When you phone us, you're not explaining yourself. You're picking up a conversation.

15. Our systems do the admin. Our people do the wine.

Most wine suppliers bury their sales team in paperwork. Ours automates it. Thirty-plus background tasks run around the clock so your account manager has one job: knowing you, understanding your charter, and finding the perfect bottle. Less email. More expertise. Every call feels personal because it is.

16. From producer allocation to your yacht's deck — in one hand.

Because we're based in the South of France and have direct relationships with producers across France, Italy, and the New World, we access wines that most suppliers can't even order. Rare vintages. Prestige cuvées. Limited releases. If it's made, we can probably find it.

Partnership & People

17. Founded by former yacht crew. Built around the realities of life on board.

We've lived the 6am charter turnaround. The unreliable supplier. The guest who changed their mind at 11pm. The customs drama in a new port. Every feature in our service exists because someone on our team was once a chief stew wishing it did.

18. Your wine, our warehouse, your schedule.

Too much cellar during the yard period? We hold it — temperature-controlled, inventoried, insured — and release it back to your yacht on your timeline. Your storage inventory syncs directly to a document you control. Withdraw a case with one click.

19. WSET-trained crew. On your yacht. Your schedule.

Our WSET wine courses are designed specifically for yacht crew — stewardesses, pursers, captains — and can run at our South of France base or on board your vessel. Because a trained crew serves better, sells better, and keeps guests happier.

20. Forty-plus tools. One phone call. One account manager.

Everything on this page — the AI sommelier, the label scanner, the quote builder, the cellar inventory, the live tracking, the seventeen PDF formats, the multi-language everything — all behind one relationship. You don't juggle tools. You don't switch systems. You just call us, and it works.
