Rhodes & Kos

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 Rhodes & Kos and worldwide. We combine former yacht crew experience with deep wine expertise to deliver the right wines, at the right price, on time.

Yes, Onshore Cellars delivers wines and spirits to yachts in Rhodes & Kos and all major Mediterranean ports and marinas. We also deliver to the Caribbean, Middle East, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Montenegro, and any other port your yacht is visiting.
