We've recently been able to secure a vintage Stephens flush deck motoryacht which left the Stockton yard in 1960. One of the last sedans with a flybridge, it boasts lots of room above, with a great salon and unusual enclosed aft deck. Replete with an interesting history, it was owned and lovingly maintained by the same family in Sacramento for several decades.
When aboard one of our vessels in Napa Valley, the focus is always on the journey rather than the destination. That's because, only at a slow cruising speed can you really enjoy and experience the subtlties of the various vineyards and how they wind around between Cuttings Wharf, Downtown Napa, and one of our favorite destinations, the Napa Valley Yacht Club. Gatsby will also be available for overnights and special events.
Whether you are wine tasting at the docks of the yacht club, or simply cruising down the river as the sun sets, Napa Valley is always an interesting experience from the water. And it looks surprisingly similar now as it did when our motoryachts were commissioned and built a generation ago!
“I believe that the responsibility of the winemaker is to take that fruit and get it into the bottle as the most natural and purest expression of that vineyard, of the grape varietal or blend, and of the vintage.” Robert M. Parker, Jr., Founder of the Wine Advocate
