A huge part of the yachting experience comes from the food you have on the cruise. The open water, the fresh air, and the relaxing feeling that comes with it only multiplies with the right food and alcohol.
The menu on a yacht is carefully curated to avoid seasickness. Each food item can and should be paired with the appropriate alcohol to elevate your entire experience. There are some food and alcohol pairings you simply cannot miss when you’re out on a yacht. Here are just some of them!
Chardonnay with Grilled Salmon
Salmon makes a light and hearty meal—something you need when you’re out on open waters. Grilled salmon with proper seasoning and delicious sides pair well with a Chardonnay. An oaky Chard lends a richer taste to salmon, taking your tastebuds on a journey of their own.
Whiskey with Smoked Chicken
Whiskey with smoked chicken works especially well if you’re out in the cold. The smokiness of the chicken mixes with the strong notes of whiskey seamlessly. Whiskey is definitely going to hit you harder later, so if you’re not used to it make sure you pace yourself. The last thing you want is to get sick while you’re out on the water.
Red Wine with Medium Rare Steak
The golden rule for a steak pairing with red wine exists for a reason: It works on all levels. From the taste to the feel, you simply cannot go wrong with this classic combination. When choosing wine to go with your steak, the safest choice is to go for a Cabernet. They’re generally liked by most people and is one of the most palatable wines available.
Champagne with Oysters
If your yacht trip is a romantic getaway, we highly recommend you try oysters and pair it with champagne. Not only are oysters well-reputed aphrodisiacs, they also pair amazingly well with the rich flavor of champagne. Word of caution: beware oysters if they tend to make you sick.
Vodka with Caviar
If you’re feeling fancy, you must try some caviar. The best alcohol to pair with caviar is vodka. The sharp taste of vodka cuts right through the silkiness of caviar. It also goes well with caviar’s saltiness. The best part is you don’t have to be seated on a table to enjoy this; you can have it anywhere on the yacht and enjoy the scenery to its fullest.
Beer with Roasted Pork
If all else fails, you can always fall back on good old beer. While beer goes with many foods, it works especially well with simple roasted pork. The well-seasoned roast pairs well with the earthy and hearty notes of beer.
