Delivered in 2023, the new, upgraded Port to Vino is ready to welcome you to your home on the water for your sailing vacation. Every inch of the boat is designed with guest comfort in mind, from the spacious covered flybridge with sun loungers to the forward door accessing the sunken cockpit seating on the bow. Your group will be able to spread out and relax in style no matter where they get comfortable on the boat with stunning views of the islands under sail.
The interior of the boat offers all the comforts of home, but on a luxury yacht. She has four queen staterooms each with its own ensuite bath including one larger owner's suite with walk out to the cockpit. Port to Vino will accommodate 6-8 guests comfortably. The welcoming salon featuring the galley up allows for guests to watch their gourmet meals being made while they relax on the couch. Meals are served al fresco on the back deck where you can take in views of the coastline and enjoy the sea breezes.
Port to Vino's outdoor deck areas offer plenty of flexible space. Pass the day reading, sunbathing, or relaxing on the flybridge. The forward trampolines, forward sunken seating area, and aft deck lounge and dining areas extend your living area and give easy access to the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. All of the boat toys are available to make your fun on the water even better. There is something for everyone as you sail in pristine waters.

Thank you for an incredible week!
You all have been phenomonial and made this trip one to remember. Your kindness and hardwork has not gone unnoticed! I cannot express how enjoyable this trip has been and a large part of it that all thanks to you! The only problem has been how fast time has gone by. Grayson
Y'all are seriously the best crew ever! The food was absolutely amazing and I'm pretty sure not a single plate was left empty. So thank you Vera! Lastly, thank you Derek for teaching me some tricks to photography, and for searching and rescuing my phone for me. I'm forever greatful and will never understand how you spotted it. Thank you so much for a memorable trip; I can't believe how fast it flew by . Thank you again, Isabella
Thank you again for an amazing family vacation. Every thing was well thought out and made for an incredible experience that we will continue to remember for a lifetime. We are sad to be leaving so soon as seven days went by way too fast. Please let us know if you would ever like to visit us in Houston. We would love to show you around. Hope that our paths will meet again soon.... The Petree Party

I can't say enough about Caitlin's attitude and service! We had our 7 year old grandson and she took him under her wing and taught him to snorkel and introduced new foods that he would otherwise not have ever tried! She totally understood our needs as a multigenerational family and planned our meals accordingly. The food was delicious! We were not looking for gourmet meals but it felt over the top special with her hand made pasta dishes and variety of meals. She even had the kids help her make pasta. Jeff was very professional and we always felt we were being cared for and in safe hands. And he is an incredible grillmaster!
The yacht was extremely comfortable and well organized.
We had 4 children ages 7-15 and they all had a wonderful time on their first Caribbean cruise! The parents were also able to relax thanks to Jeff and Caitlin and their attention.
As an extra bonus, Caitlin's knowledge of marine biology added fun to our snorkels! We loved her energy and engaging personality!
It was a fabulous week!
