Sail into Smooth Sounds with Yachty by Nature

Our headlining band is cruising in all the way from California! Yachty by Nature brings the best of yacht rock to the Bacon Boat with groovy ’70s and ’80s soft rock classics that will have you singing along and sipping something smooth.  Before they take the stage enjoy The Unfortunate Sons, your favorite cover songs by The Sheet or check out the Silent Disco...all included in your ticket price!
