Onshore Cellars

Specialist Yacht Wine & Spirits Supplier — South of France

Onshore Cellars is the leading specialist supplier of fine wine, champagne, and spirits to superyachts, motor yachts, and sailing yachts worldwide. Founded in 2015 by former yacht crew members Ed and Jess Dunnett, and based in the South of France, the company brings together first-hand knowledge of life on board with deep wine expertise and WSET-qualified sommelier guidance. With over 3,000 wines and spirits in stock and a reputation built over a decade of serving some of the world's most prestigious superyachts, Onshore Cellars is the go-to provisioner for captains, chief stewardesses, pursers, and yacht management companies seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive wine supply.

Because Onshore Cellars was founded by people who have worked on yachts, the service is built around the realities of the job: last-minute charter turnarounds, precise guest preferences, tight delivery windows, and the need for a supplier who picks up the phone. Their warehouse in the South of France enables same-day wine and spirits delivery across the French Riviera, next-day delivery throughout France and the EU, and worldwide shipping to any port or marina your yacht is visiting.

Services Offered by Onshore Cellars

Onshore Cellars offers a comprehensive range of wine and spirits services tailored to the yachting industry. Whether you are provisioning a superyacht for a season, stocking a charter yacht for a single week, or seeking expert guidance on building an owner's wine cellar, their team can assist with every aspect of yacht beverage supply.

Yacht Wine & Spirits Provisioning — A curated selection of over 3,000 wines, champagnes, and spirits sourced from the world's leading wine regions. Onshore Cellars supplies French Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, and Provence rosé alongside Italian fine wines, New World selections, premium spirits, and cocktail ingredients for yacht bars. Orders can be placed online, by email, by phone, or via WhatsApp for urgent requests.

Charter Yacht Wine Packages — Charter-specific wine lists tailored to guest nationality, dietary preferences, itinerary, and budget. Onshore Cellars handles rapid turnaround provisioning between charters and can replenish stock mid-charter at the next port of call.

Tax-Free Yacht Provisioning — Substantial savings are available for qualifying yachts departing EU ports under customs regulations. Onshore Cellars manages all documentation for duty-free wine and spirits orders, subject to eligibility.

Wine Storage & Cellar Management — Climate-controlled, temperature-stable wine storage for yacht owners during yard periods, refits, or between seasons. Onshore Cellars manages inventory, receives deliveries, and prepares provisions for the next voyage.

WSET Wine Training for Yacht Crew — Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certified wine courses designed specifically for yacht crew, stewardesses, pursers, and captains. Courses cover wine styles, food pairing, professional service, and tasting technique — relevant, practical, and internationally recognised. Courses run regularly in the South of France and can be arranged on board.

Why Choose Onshore Cellars for Yacht Wine Supply?

Onshore Cellars stands apart from general wine merchants and provisioners because wine and spirits for yachts is all they do — and they do it at the highest level. Their WSET-qualified team provides genuine sommelier-level guidance rather than a generic product catalogue: send a chef's menu and they will recommend specific wines for each course, with tasting notes, serving temperatures, and decanting recommendations ready for yacht wine service. Direct relationships with producers and négociants across France, Italy, and the New World mean competitive pricing without compromising on quality. A decade of serving some of the world's largest and most well-known superyachts — and a repeat client rate that reflects it — confirms Onshore Cellars as a trusted, long-term provisioning partner rather than a one-off supplier.
