Yachtley Crew

Yachtley Crew (stylized as Yächtley Crëw, with a metal umlaut over the a and e) is an American yacht rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2017. The band is known for wearing nautical attire on stage while playing 1970s and 1980s soft rock hits.

Soon after forming, Yachtley Crew quickly gained recognition and was voted 2018's "Best Cover Band" by OC Weekly who dubbed them "the Steel Panther of the high seas". On several occasions, they played with the original artists of the songs they frequently perform including Elliot Lurie of Looking Glass and Peter Beckett of Player. Las Vegas Review Journal hailed "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."

After limited touring in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band played their first national tour to sold out crowds across the United States in 2021. In 2022, Yachtley Crew announced that they had signed a record deal with Jimmy Buffett owned label Mailboat Records. On July 14, 2023, they released their first record "Seas the Day". It was produced and mixed by the legendary Chris Lord-Alge.
