our story
Imagine sitting at a bar on a rooftop in St Barts overlooking a marina filled with superyachts. As you swivel on your bar stool, you take in the sights. The yacht captain toasting his crew for another job well done. A yacht owner emerging onto the sundeck with a martini in hand to watch the waterways and catch the sunset. A seasoned couple at the bar toasting their anniversary, enjoying a milestone occasion with classic martinis and a group of chic partygoers beginning the evening with trendy cocktails and shots before hitting the clubs. The one thing they all have in common? They’re drinking Yacht Life Vodka. You turn to the bartender and say, “I’ll have a Yachtini please”, and you think to yourself – THIS is a taste of the good life…
