About Vendor  

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Stay Classy! Yachty By Nature is THE SMOOTHEST Yacht Rock band in Southern California. We play all your favorite 70's and 80's soft rock hits and bring the Yachtical vibe, fun, and grooviness :) We are a mobile Yacht Party and you'll be grooving to the fun-filled hits of your favorite era. Get Yachty with us and we'll provide the Sax Appeal to any event and make it a groovy Pleasure Cruise to the years between 1975 and 1985. Yacht Rock is embodied by the groovy, soulful and smooth hits that you would listen to while sipping champagne on your yacht. Indeed, it is the Ron Burgundy playlist and all the fun and Yachtical pleasure of a cruise in the harbor. Listening to Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, Ambrosia, Steely Dan, Toto, Bee Gees, the Eagles and much more will provide the California sound to your Yacht Party and have your crowd shaking a booty just like Lionel Richie: All Night Long!!!!!!!! Just remember, we were the first Yacht Rock Band in Southern California to play shows around the country. We keep it totally REAL and don't play to backing tracks. Yachty By Nature's seasoned pro musicians offer expert musicality and fun improvisation to difficult songs that often times are covered by bands with pre-recorded tracks. We really play those notes, sing those lines, and bring the fun, funk, and vibe of 1978 Marina del Rey to your concert, party, wedding, or any event. Yachty by Nature is extremely professional, flexible, and pride ourselves in working closely with the client to make every event as fun and YACHTY as it can be. Feel free to Google us and check our social media for the fun stuff we are up to as well! #yachtrock #yachtrockband #yachtybynature

Yacht Rock Bands – Yachty by Nature

Yacht rock bands – yachty by nature.

Ahoy all Southern California yacht rockers!  Yachty by Nature is not just one of many yacht rock bands out there.

As you may well know, Yachty by Nature has been around now for 8 years and very proud of the LIVE music we bring you.  In addition, we not only look back at some amazing shows and awesome venues but the LIVING tribute that we are.  Importantly, we live for yacht rock, we work hard to play it live and we are so excited about the future of yacht rock bands like us.

Yacht Rock Pedigree

Moreover, the music is special, the calendar is only getting more fun, and our fans have been so enthusiastic about it all.  WE LOVE PLAYING FOR YOU!  Additionally, take a look at the pedigree of yacht rock below.  You won’t find many yacht rock bands in the country that have accomplished so much:

• The band is now 8 years old established in January 2016
• the second to play in Los Angeles after Harbor Party
• the second to play in San Diego after High Tide Society
• play Nationally in North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Iowa, Texas, Colorado, and Florida
• do 80 plus shows a year
• wear the BRONER captain’s hat
• appear on National TV on the Rich Eisen show
• play the world famous Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood
• Open for Snoop Dogg at Sea Legs in Huntington Beach
• One of ONLY three ALL LIVE yacht rock bands in California (High Tide Society and Harbor Party also play LIVE without backing tracks)
• Increasing our set list all the time with new and extremely yachty tracks

Go! Yacht Rock Bands

So, thanks for your patronage and continue to celebrate smooth music with us!  And as always, please let us know which yacht rock songs float your boat.  Moreover, did you know we just added some new songs.  Physical by Olivia Newton John, Love Will Keep us Together, Lotta Love by Nicolette Larson and Guilty (Barry Gibbs & Barbra Streisand).  Adding Julie McCoy to our roster this year in 2024 has been an AMAZING add to our live show.  Our new cruise director, Julie has taken our vocals to the next level and what about those spectacular dance moves?  Julie McCoy is the REAL McCoy!

Catalina Breeze 2020

Back when we originally posted this blog update, it was 2020.  Continue reading to hear what we were doing just before Covid 19 in the 4th year of this yacht rock bands existence.

Now, coming up this month we are truly setting sail!  In fact, the band sails to Catalina Island for the second time as we play March 28 in the historic Casino Ballroom in Avalon .  The Catalina Concert Series will feature Yachty by Nature and our support act Elton the Early Years with Kenny Metcalf.  Get your Two Tickets to Paradise and get yachty with us on Catalina.  In fact, it’ll be our own Catalina Wine Mixer!

Yacht Rock bands in Arizona!

Importantly, we are coming back to Arizona on March 14 for the Scottsdale Arts Festival!  In fact, we headline the event on Saturday and play at 4pm.  In fact, this is Yachty by Nature’s 5th trip to Arizona and leading the smooth movement out there.  From Topgolf, the Arizona State Fair, to the Strong Beer Festival and now Scottsdale Arts Festival, we are keeping Arizona smooth.  In addition, it seems we’re circling in the same orbit as the “yacht fathers” Yacht Rock Revue.

Last month, we attended their concert in Fort Lauderdale ahead of our show for the Emeril Lagasse foundation.  Additionally, they’ll appear in Phoenix this weekend March 7 at the Van Buren and March 8 in Tucson at the Rialto Theater.  Yacht Rock Revue is based in Atlanta and the self proclaimed “Greatest Show on Surf” has played with John Oates and many of the original smooth artists.  In fact, they got in early on this genre of cruise music way back in 2009.

Yacht Rock Revue

Speaking of yacht rock bands like us, Captain Carl attended the Yacht Rock Revue show again in Los Angeles last night.  In fact, the guys were kind enough to comp us and they crushed it.  The Wiltern Theater was a fabulous venue and the crowd was decked out in yachty gear and feeling the smooth.  Moreover, I’d have to say that opening with Greatest American Hero theme and closing with She’s Gone were killer song choices.  In addition, it’s always fun to be noticed in the crowd for playing in Yachty by Nature.  Of course, with a pink hawaiian shirt

and matching pink pants, I was easy to find!

Importantly, the highlight of the night was Peter Beckett, Eliot Lurie, and Matthew Wilder taking the stage as original artists.  The song Baby Come Back was especially emphatic, emotional, and an interesting ending and the crowd went nuts.  All in all, we’re really stoked for the biggest yacht rock band in the U.S. to be doing well and even coming out with an original album.

Los Angeles Yacht Rock bands

Ahoy Los Angeles!  Hey, we really look forward to playing in Los Angeles a bunch more this summer!  In fact, we have been way overdue to play more public shows in the metropolitan area.  Increasingly, it seems we play Las Vegas and out of state gigs more than we play LA but that is changing.  Incoming shows at Canyon Club, The Rose and Marina del Rey.

Spring 2020 Calendar

Moreover, our Los Angeles people have spoken and Yachty by Nature is coming to town more often this summer:

• April 11 at Canyon Club, Agoura Hills
• May 15 – the Rose in Pasadena
• June 14 – ArtSea, Mother’s Beach in Marina del Rey
• July 11 – Gaslamp in Long Beach
• July 16 – Santa Clarita block party
• July 17 – Canyon Montclair
• August 2 – City of Calabasas concert series
• August 8 – Canyon Santa Clarita
• August 9 – El Segundo concert series

We are so pumped to bring 100% LIVE yacht rock to Los Angeles.  Our show at Whisky a Go Go in December was spectacular and has us wanting more.  In addition, we apologize for not making the trek up from the OC more often.  I know we’ve left you underserved!

Lastly, there’s been a bit of confusion in Los Angeles about yacht rock bands.  Harbor Party is the band that started it all playing yacht rock in Southern California around 2015.  Then came Yachty by Nature in 2016.  In fact, Yacht Rock Revue and Mustache Harbor would make some trips to play shows in LA as well.  And then Yachtley Crew came later on by playing shows in 2017.

Additionally, only Harbor Party, High Tide Society and Yachty by Nature play 100% live in all of Southern California.  These three bands do not use pre-recorded backing tracks.  Thank you to all the fans that know the difference between LIVE and MEMOREX 🙂

Midwest tour!

In conclusion, we’re heading back to the Midwest in June.  First up is our private party in Kansas City, MO and then a wedding in Okoboji (Arnold’s Park), Iowa.  Bon Voyage!  Don’t forget to buy your tickets early and Get Yachty with us early and often.  Most importantly, thanks for reading here and thanks for supporting the band.  Keep it Smooth!

Yacht rock’s ultimate party band.

We are Southern California’s first yacht rock band to play coast to coast and all points in between.

Come Sail Away with Southern California’s SMOOTHEST Yacht Rock band. A crew of six talented musicians taking you on a sunset cruise to the guilty pleasures of 70’s and 80’s smooth soft rock. Don’t miss the boat, Captain Carl steers us toward Pleasure Town and Scotty McYachty crushes the vocals on the playlist of your life. Ultimately, pop the champagne, your smooth grooves await. Set a course for adventure as Yachty by Nature treats you to the smooth and groovy California sound that conjures up palm trees swaying, cruising the boulevard, yacht parties, and love lost and found. The captain’s hats, nautical attire and Ron Burgundy vibe will get the party started. We play all your favorite hits from Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Toto, Christopher Cross, Ambrosia, & Lionel Richie will have you dancing the night away. In addition, it’s the playlist of your life, so whether you’re on land or sea, we’ll bring the yacht party to you! Yachty by Nature is a 6 piece tribute to the 70’s and 80’s soft rock movement. Importantly, we bring together a CREW of expert musicians and kick-ass vocals to groove you to those favorite Yacht Rock hits. Rest assured, we don’t play to those backing tracks that some bands have to use to recreate those groovy vinyl cuts. In fact, WE PLAY 100% LIVE and respect those classics too much to fake it. For instance, we’re the only Yacht Rock band in the Southland playing it live & playing to audiences all over the country.

Furthermore, we’ve played in North Carolina, Vegas (Brooklyn Bowl & TopGolf), Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, & much more! As you may know, our band comes from a long background of musical talent and success and will not only wow your audiences with our Rock-the-Boat jams. Lastly, our Yacht Party sails on the Ron Burgundy playlist with fun, funk, vibe, and swagger. Thus, get ready for a SMOOTH pleasure cruise with plenty of sax appeal. Above all, stay smooth.
