In fact, if Michael McDonald or Kenny Loggins are not at the helm, you got some figuring to do! For more on this, feel free to check our set list under the Song List tab. But, again, the Yachtski Scale is clear on the defining characteristics of smooth. It is true that yacht music often drifts close to the ports and coastal inlets of R&B, jazz, rock, classic rock, prog, and other mid 70’s and 80’s grooves. Indeed both types of music hit the charts hard in the 1970’s and 1980’s. To be exact, Soft Rock Songs can be yachty as heck, or not even close to being on the boat. As you can imagine, tunes like Sailing, Steal Away, and Toto’s 99 are certified smooth yacht.
But no other music muddies the smooth seas of yacht like its kissin’ cousin: soft rock. Whereas, the public and yacht rock radio have an ever shifting understanding of true yachtiness. Moreover, the inventors of the genre have a strict rating system for Yacht Rock.
In fact, we get a lot of uncertainty from audiences and social media alike. Diving into the yacht rock genre, it can be rough seas navigating which tunes are actually on the Yacht.
