Since rebuilding their classic sailboat, The Wildflower, and securing another retro vessel, The Sunflower, Captain Nate and Shane have chartered courses through the romantic waters surrounding Naples and Alamitos Bay for wine- and cuisine-augmented expeditions. Up to six guests claim their seat atop crimson-cushioned couches, useful for lower-back support and defense during mid-journey pillow fights, as the U.S. Coast Guard–approved captain throws off the ropes and glides into picturesque waters. During the one-hour mimosa cruise, each passenger sips three flights of sparkling wine paired with two appetizers while absorbing the stunning shoreline sights and magnificent private space-shuttle launch pads of the Naples and Treasure Island areas. Ninety-minute mixers/couples cruises supply guests with four vegetarian appetizers and four distinct wine flights, poured into stemware that accentuates each varietal’s aroma and flavor. Pairings include pinot noir with mediterranean hummus and pita bread, and cabernet sauvignon with a pesto loaf, layered with provolone cheese, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto sauce. Corks Away can customize offerings by request, substituting all red or white wines, or replacing libations with Juicy Juice.
