Each year SiriusXM’s Yacht Rock Radio reignites some ongoing, mostly playful skirmishes among radio people and music fans. Is “Yacht Rock” what the term’s creators define it as — ’70s/early-’80s soft rock with some element of R&B/jazz/disco fusion? Is it what SXM plays — a wider version of soft pop from the late ’70s/early ’80s? Why are we canonizing this music from pop music’s doldrums in the first place?
But if you’re eager to play along with that discussion, SXM has just launched Yacht Soul, as a pop-up format currently appearing on SiriusXM’s channel 105 through July 8, after which time it will remain available on the SXM app. The channel is hosted by George Benson, whose reminiscences about songs and artists are interspersed several times an hour.
The new channel is a reminder of R&B’s place at the center of yacht rock. However much weight you want to put on them at a fraught time for pop music, I’d rather hear Benson’s “Give Me the Night” or “Turn Your Love Around” than a lot of other hits from the same period. In turn, Benson, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, and George Duke & Stanley Clarke were chief among the artists who were able to cross over during the worst moments of the “disco backlash” that kept other great things happening in R&B away from pop radio in 1980-82.
Like SXM’s Yacht Rock Radio, Yacht Soul is a broad mix of mellow R&B from the same era. The hook promos include some things that seem defining (Dennis Edwards’ “Don’t Look Any Further,” Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do for Love,” Chaka Khan’s “Through the Fire”) and others that feel less likely (Evelyn King’s “Love Come Down,” Diana Ross’ “Love Hangover,” Natalie Cole’s “Sophisticated Lady”). Chances are you just disagreed with at least one of my characterizations. Such is the discussion.
Here’s Yacht Soul at 9:30 a.m. on July 3:
- Fourplay, “101 Eastbound” — early ’90s instrumental that seems like more of a fit for Smooth Jazz
- Brothers Johnson, “Strawberry Letter 23”
- Quincy Jones f/Patti Austin, “Something Special”
- Kool & the Gang, “Too Hot” — preceded by a vignette of George Benson talking about witnessing the band’s ascent
- Brenda Russell, “New York Bars” — her hits (“So Good So Right” and “Piano in the Dark”) were nearly a decade apart, in 1979 and 1988; this is from a 1983 album
- Bill Withers, “Lovely Day”
- Patti Labelle, “New Attitude”
- Manhattans, “Shining Star”
- Average White Band, “School Boy Crush”
- L.T.D., “Love Ballad” — Benson talks about hearing the original for the first time: “One of the best songs I ever heard.” Later, he would have a 1979 hit with his own uptempo version
- Atlanta Rhythm Section, “So Into You” — It did crack the R&B chart (No. 93) in 1977. Not the hit single, but what sounded like a longer album version
- William DeVaughn, “Be Thankful for What You Got” — 1974 hit that seems prescient in this context
- Bee Gees, “How Deep Is Your Love”
- Lionel Richie, “All Night Long (All Night)”
- El DeBarge, “Someone”
- George Benson, “This Masquerade” — Benson talks about not knowing the Leon Russell original, or Russell, when the song was brought to him, and his initial reluctance to cover it, or include a vocal on the Breezin’ album

Remember Me
Hey Sean, Checking out Yacht Soul a bit. A little surprised to hear some cover versions (Everbody Plays The Fool – Aaron Neville and I Never Can Say Goodbye – Issac Hayes), but they are smooth and the channel is inyeresting and easy to listen to. JH
Caught Yacht Rock Radio for the first time, today. Channel 311, had to go looking. In 45 minutes’ time, listening….never heard a single female singer.
I like the mix mainly because it stretches about 25 years, more than double the approximate 10 years of traditional yacht rock. My only complaint so far is “Caravan of Love” being listed as by the Isley Bros.

Yacht rock; the secret soundtrack to summer
The sound started in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was categorized as adult-oriented rock, dominating the dial in your dad’s old Dodge.
Today, it’s called Yacht Rock and it dominates summer days on the boat and summer nights around the fire pit.
Yacht rock is known by its smooth, mellow sound, often featuring catchy melodies, soft rock instrumentation, and polished production.
What channel is Yacht Rock Radio?
Every summer, SiriusXM offers a dedicated channel for yacht rock enthusiasts. The channel, known as “Yacht Rock Radio,” is available on SiriusXM from Memorial Day through Labor Day, so you still have several weeks of easy listening to enjoy.
This year, Yacht Rock Radio is on SiriusXM Channel 17. You can also search the SiriusXM app for Yacht Rock Radio.
Boat music?
Yacht rock offers an easy soundtrack for a leisurely day on the water, a laid-back summer evening, or chill day at the beach.
Yacht rock — your less hip friends might call it boat music — features a variety of artists and hits from the late ’70s and early ’80s, including some quintessential tracks:
- “Sailing” by Christopher Cross - A classic yacht rock anthem
- “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers - Featuring Michael McDonald’s signature vocals, this song defines yacht rock.
- “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross - Another hit by Cross, this song is a yacht rock favorite.
- “Africa” by Toto - This track has become an iconic yacht rock tune.
- “Rosanna” by Toto - Known for its rhythm and harmonies, this song is typical of yacht rock.
- “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree - This track’s breezy sound and catchy hook make it a yacht rock staple.
- “You Make My Dreams” by Hall & Oates - Known for its upbeat tempo and infectious chorus, this song is a yacht rock must.
New yacht rock songs; what is nu yacht
Despite the late 20 century nostalgia most yacht rock evokes, new artists are making music inspired by the yacht rock genre, often referred to as "nu yacht" or "yacht rock revival."
Here’s a few new yacht rock artists to check out:
- Young Gun Silver Fox: This duo marries the essence of the classic yacht rock sound with modern production techniques. Check out: "Emilia," "Lenny," "Midnight in Richmond"
- Tuxedo: Tuxedo blends yacht rock with funk for a modern twist. Check out: "Do It," "Number One," "Shy"
- Thundercat: Thundercat's music gives off yacht rock-inspired vibes. Check out: "Show You the Way" (featuring Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins), "Them Changes," "Dragonball Durag"
- Poolside: Poolside's music often gives off the laid-back vibe associated with yacht rock. Check out: "Harvest Moon," "California Sunset," "Feel Alright"
Does SiriusXM have a Halloween channel?
Seriously? We’re just getting into the swing of summer and you’re thinking about doing the Monster Mash?
Yes. SiriusXM does have a Halloween station . SCREAM radio last year aired on SiriusXM Channel 107, though the satellite radio company hasn’t yet announced information on SCREAM 2024, including a start date.
The spooky songs, ghost stories and Halloween antics usually go live in early October and last through mid November.
What channel is SiriusXM Holly?
Christmas, already? Well, we are nearing Christmas in July, so it makes sense.
The annual winter holiday channel lineup features a selection of stations for different genres of holiday music.
The mainstay, Holly plays modern Christmas and winter holiday songs. Last year, Holly went live in early November and ended on the day after Christmas.
No announcement has been made yet on what channel Holly will land on this year.

What is yacht rock?
Yacht rock is more than just a musical style; it represents an era of laid-back sophistication and an easy-going lifestyle. While we may not all have a yacht, with yacht rock, we can still experience the vibes.
A genre of music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, yacht rock is characterized by its smooth melodies and polished production popular among yacht-owning individuals during this era. The music often features lush arrangements and a clean, polished sound that is easy on the ears, with catchy lyrics and harmonious vocals. The overall feel is relaxed and laid-back, suitable for leisurely activities — like sailing on a yacht.
Yacht rock often incorporates elements of jazz and R&B. Saxophone solos and Fender Rhodes electric piano are common. The lyrics in yacht rock songs often explore themes of romance, introspection, and escapism. The tone is generally positive and reflective, matching the easy-going nature of the music.
Some of the most iconic yacht rock artists include Steely Dan, Toto, Michael McDonald (both solo and with The Doobie Brothers), Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, and Hall & Oates.
Today, yacht rock continues to be celebrated for its timeless appeal. Its smooth sounds continue to evoke a sense of nostalgia and relaxation, making it a beloved genre for many music enthusiasts.
