Yächtley Crëw, the undisputed captains of the yacht rock revival, are back to spread holiday cheer with their new EP, Seas And Greetings. This festive collection features five shimmering renditions of Christmas classics, reimagined with the band’s signature soft-rock sophistication. With tracks originally made famous by Wizzard, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Status Quo, and the Eagles, the EP decks the halls with Yächtley Crëw’s smooth, seafaring style.

Casting off from Southern California in 2017, Yächtley Crëw quickly gained a loyal following, selling out venues and inspiring a nationwide yacht rock renaissance. Their irresistible sound caught the attention of the late Jimmy Buffett, who signed them to his Mailboat Records before they inked their current deal with Earache. Along the way, they’ve become the face of a cultural phenomenon, blending nostalgia and top-tier musicianship into an unforgettable experience.

“It would be tempting to describe Yächtley Crëw simply as a cover band. But it is more. It is a trend-setter, a movement, an ocean spray to the face during the torrid summer months,” wrote the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Their breakout Seas The Day EP, released in 2003, established their reputation as masters of the genre with faithful renditions of soft rock staples like Boz Scaggs’ “Lido Shuffle,” Christopher Cross’ “Ride Like The Wind,” and the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love.” The record also introduced their first original song, “Sex On The Beach,” produced by Grammy-winning Chris Lord-Alge.

Yächtley Crëw’s live shows are legendary, packed with singalong hits like Toto’s “Africa,” Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Piña Colada Song),” and Looking Glass’ “Brandy.” Their performances have reached audiences around the world, including a celebrated appearance on SiriusXM’s Yacht Rock Radio and a New Year’s Eve broadcast that was watched by over 16.5 million landlubbers.

For those unacquainted, yacht rock is more than just a genre—it’s a summer-never-ends experience. A tribute to the breezy, sun-soaked hits of the late ’70s and early ’80s, the movement has spawned a dedicated fanbase ready to don captain’s hats and join the revelry.
