Yacht Rock Goes Disco—and The Yachties Are at the Helm

What is Yacht Rock, anyway? Picture this: a sunset cruise on a platinum ocean, soft synths floating through the air, a sea breeze catching your feathered hair… and the faint sound of Michael McDonald’s falsetto harmonizing with the shimmer of a disco ball.

Yacht Rock was born in the late '70s and early '80s—a genre drenched in smooth sax solos, jazzy keyboards, and soulful vocals. It’s the sonic equivalent of silk shirts, top-shelf rum, and that slow-motion strut across the dance floor. Artists like Toto, Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, and Christopher Cross turned soft rock into a luxurious lifestyle soundtrack.

But here’s the kicker: The term "Yacht Rock" didn’t even exist until 2005, when a parody web series gave this breezy genre its cheeky name. Since then, it's become the ultimate retro revival — and now it’s colliding head-on with disco sparkle.

The Yachties: Your Captains of Smooth & Sparkle

Enter The Yachties, your glitter-clad guides to the ultimate yacht rock & disco fusion. They’re not just reviving the genre — they’re reimagining it with sequins, strobes, and funk-fueled attitude. Think Bee Gees basslines, Donna Summer drama, and Loggins-level harmony — all rolled into one velvet-drenched, neon-lit live experience.

Whether they’re giving Rich Girl a bass-thumping disco twist or dropping a surprise keytar solo mid-Africa, The Yachties blend the suave coolness of yacht rock with the infectious pulse of a disco inferno. It's Yacht Rock meets Saturday Night Fever!
