About this Event

San Diego Yacht Rock Festival Returns!


CLICK HERE TO GET TICKETS!
Just announced: "Yacht Rock Gold Experience" + Host "Captain Adam from Yacht Rock Radio" at the helm.

One of the top Yacht Rock bands in the country, Yacht Rock Gold Experience, hailing from the east coast, delivers a first-class live show built on soaring harmonies, iconic grooves, and pure feel-good energy. With four lead vocalists and a full 11-piece band, they bring smooth to life with perfection.

As curators of the largest Yacht Rock Festival in the country, we sail coast to coast in search of the smoothest bands in the genre. What we’ve assembled is a true Coast to Coast Yacht Rock lineup, featuring world-class musicians in remarkable bands — discovered across the country and flown in to San Diego just for you.

This isn’t the same rotation you see over and over. It’s a carefully curated collection of extraordinary Yacht Rock talent, brought together to create an experience that feels fresh, elevated, and unmistakably smooth.

🎶 Live Performances

Sail into unforgettable sets from the worlds best Yacht Rock bands. Each band will bring their strongest material to the stage, delivering a full day and evening of silky harmonies and timeless classics — powered by a full-size concert stage, professional line-array sound, and immersive festival lighting.

🥂 An Elevated Food & Drink Experience 🍽️

You spoke, and we listened. This year brings more GA bars, expanded VIP bar service, faster pours, and plenty to choose from in our Premium Food & Wine Pavilion.

Raise a glass with select wines, celebratory champagne, craft beers, and cocktails worthy of the captain’s table — all paired with carefully curated coastal cuisine designed to match the moment, the music, and the view.

🌊 Your Festival Experience
From standing-room-only areas up front near the stage to relaxed zones where you can stretch out a beach towel or settle into a low-profile chair, there’s a perfect spot for every member of the crew.


FAQs

Can I bring a chair?
Yes please! Guests may bring low-profile beach chairs for comfort. To keep sightlines clear, chairs must sit no higher than 9 inches off the ground, with a backrest no taller than 32 inches. Standard camping or lawn chairs aren’t permitted.

Can I bring a blanket or towel?
Yes — but only normal beach towel–sized blankets are allowed. Oversized picnic blankets or mats won’t be permitted, as they take up too much space on the grassy deck. Think of a beach towel that comfortably fits one or two people.

Is re-entry allowed?
No. For the safety and security of all guests, re-entry is not permitted once you leave the event.

Can I bring in outside food or drinks?
For the safety and comfort of all guests, outside food and beverages are not permitted inside the event. A variety of food and drink options will be available for purchase on site.
