About Napa Valley Wine Yacht
Napa is better from the river.
We create private, unhurried experiences that show guests a quieter and more personal side of wine country.
Meet the Dodsons
Bill and Saundra Dodson have been the proud owners of the Kiwi Cat since 2005. They discovered the boat in New Zealand and brought her to Napa to create a unique way for guests to experience the valley.
The Kiwi Cat was designed for stability, maneuverability, safety, and comfort—making her an ideal setting for a private three-hour Napa River cruise.
