Gourmet provisioning, interior and housekeeping stores, deck consumables and engine-room spares for motor yachts, charter yachts, superyachts and mega yachts at US marinas and shipyards.
Alpha Ship Supplies supports yacht captains, chief stewards, chefs and engineers with yacht supplies that meet owner and guest expectations. Every request is coordinated from our Houston office and delivered to the marina, shipyard or berth confirmed with the captain or yacht manager. Galley, interior, deck and engine-room lists are quoted separately on one order, so each department can check its own items before you confirm.

Yacht purchasing is spread across several people on board and ashore. We work with captains, chief stewards and stewardesses, chefs, chief engineers, yacht managers and charter brokers. Each brings a different list: the galley needs specific brands and grades of produce, the interior team needs cleaning products safe for the yacht’s finishes, and the engine room needs filters, impellers and consumables matched to the installed equipment.
Yacht crews work with us because:
We keep these lists separate in our quotation so each department can check its own items before the order is confirmed. For yachts that return regularly, we keep notes on preferred brands, cleaning products approved for the yacht’s surfaces and engine models on board, which makes the next order quicker and more accurate.
Owners and managers also appreciate clear invoices split by department, which makes charter accounting and budget tracking simpler at the end of each season.
Send the yacht name, marina, guest dates and department lists. We confirm sourcing and a delivery time with the captain.
Yacht provisioning is closer to private hospitality than to commercial ship supply. Guests and owners often have precise preferences, dietary requirements and brand choices. When you send a provisioning list, include brand names, pack sizes, cuts, ripeness requirements and acceptable substitutes.
Perishables are delivered as close to departure as practical, packed by temperature and labeled for the galley.
Crew food matters as much as guest food on a busy yacht. We plan crew provisions separately, with staples, snacks and nationality-specific items, so the guest budget and the crew budget stay clear on the invoice.
Send the beverage list with brands, vintages and quantities. Where an item is unavailable, we suggest alternatives for approval rather than substituting without asking.
Motor yachts and sport fishing yachts usually need quick top-ups of provisions, cleaning products and engine consumables between trips. Charter yachts need full guest provisioning against preference sheets, plus crew food and interior stores turned around between charters. Superyachts and mega yachts with large crews need structured orders across galley, interior, deck and engineering departments, often during shipyard periods. Expedition and explorer yachts preparing for long passages need extended provisioning and critical spares planned for remote cruising. Each request is read with the yacht’s size, crew and itinerary in mind.
For yachts in a shipyard for maintenance or refit, larger orders of paint, sealants, filters and spares can be planned around the yard schedule, so the crew receives them when there is space and time to check them.
Most yacht orders combine several departments. We quote them on one order with separate sections and deliver them together.
Whether you run a 30-meter motor yacht or a large superyacht with a full interior team, the order is structured the same way: clear sections, clear substitutes and one delivery.
Guest and crew provisions sourced to brand and specification, with substitutes listed for approval before delivery. See provision stores.
Cleaning products safe for fine finishes, linen care, toiletries, paper goods and laundry supplies for the interior team.
Mooring lines, fenders, cleaning and polishing products, teak care and deck hardware for the deck crew. See deck stores.
Filters, impellers, belts, anodes and consumables matched to engine and generator models. See engine parts and anodes.
Lighting, breakers, cable and electronic parts sourced by maker reference. See electronics.
Paints, varnishes, sealants and maintenance materials for yard periods and touch-up work. See paint and maintenance.
Yacht deliveries depend on where the yacht is and what the captain prefers.
We agree delivery time and dock access with the captain or marina office. Items are labeled by department so the crew can stow them quickly.
During refits and yard periods, deliveries follow yard access rules. Larger maintenance and technical orders are often timed for yard periods when the crew has space to receive them.
For yachts lying at commercial ports, gate access and paperwork are confirmed with the agent or captain before dispatch.
Between charters, time is short. Send the next guest preference sheet early and we plan provisioning to arrive close to boarding.
Fragile items, fine foods and interior products are packed carefully and labeled by department and storage area, such as galley fridge, freezer, pantry, laundry or engine room. That helps the crew stow everything quickly without disturbing guests.
Every delivery comes with a delivery note by department and an invoice with matching lines, which makes it easy for the captain or manager to reconcile charter accounts.
Consumables for tenders and water toys, such as fuel filters, impellers, cleaning products and small hardware, can be added to the deck section of the same order.
Send the updated preference sheet. We adjust the order and confirm what can still be sourced in time.
Late changes to dietary needs or guest numbers are common. Tell us as soon as you know and we confirm what can be changed before dispatch.
Guests change plans and equipment fails at inconvenient times. Mark the request URGENT with the departure time and marina, and we will tell you quickly what can realistically be sourced and delivered before you sail. Requests can be sent through our form at any time and urgent ones are prioritized by departure time.
For guest arrivals within hours, send the most important items first. We confirm what is achievable and keep you updated until the delivery reaches the yacht.
Many yachts cruising US waters are flagged or managed in the Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, Malta, the United Kingdom and other yachting centers, with crews from Europe, Australia, South Africa and beyond. We work by email and messaging across time zones and send clear quotations that captains and managers can approve quickly.
Crew provisioning is planned around crew nationalities and preferences, alongside guest provisioning to the owner’s standards.
Yachts often move between the Northeast and Florida with the seasons, or prepare for the Caribbean. Tell us the itinerary and we help plan which items to buy before departure and which to leave for the next port.
A little preparation makes yacht provisioning smoother and avoids last-minute substitutions.
Share the guest preference sheet early, including allergies, dietary needs, favorite brands and wine choices.
Give brand, pack size, cut, grade and ripeness. List acceptable substitutes so we can confirm alternatives quickly if an item is unavailable.
Send galley, interior, deck and engine lists separately or clearly labeled. Each section is quoted for its head of department.
Agree delivery time with the captain. Perishables arrive as close to departure as practical.
Send notes on what worked and what did not. We keep them on file so the next provisioning order is even closer to the owner’s and guests’ expectations.
Vessel name, IMO, berth or terminal, ETA/ETD, agent details and the item list with quantities. For spares add maker, model and part number.
Every line priced, substitutes and long-lead items flagged, and delivery or launch charges confirmed up front.
Approve by email or purchase order. Suppliers and transport are booked the same day.
Stores arrive in the agreed slot at your marina, shipyard or berth at any U.S. port we serve with a delivery note matching your requisition.
Invoice and supporting documents for your accounts, audits and vessel records.
Sending the marina, guest dates and department lists with the request is the fastest route to an accurate quotation. Every delivery is checked against the order before dispatch, and any substitution is shown before the captain signs.
