The Yachties | Yacht Rock & Disco band

Overview

The Yachties | Smooth Grooves. Disco Moves. Get Yachtie.

​Step onto the deck with the national touring yacht rock band, The Yachties! We deliver yacht grooves, big singalongs, and dance floors that never slow down. At our shows, strangers become singing buddies, dance moves get bolder, and the party rolls long after the last song ends. The Yachties were voted #1 tribute band in our home base of Kansas City, but we enjoy bringing our own twist on yacht rock from sea to shining sea!

What to expect

Why Audiences Love Us
​Fans call our shows “the ultimate throwback dance party” and “a perfect mix of nostalgia and nonstop fun.” From private events and weddings to city festivals and corporate parties, The Yachties bring the soundtrack that keeps every crowd singing, swaying, and moving.

About

The Yachties were born out of Kansas City and Springfield's thriving live music scenes, anchored by founding members of The M80s and Innuendo, two bands known for their powerhouse shows and devoted followings. To elevate the sound, we added the sparkle of dynamic vocalists from Atlantic Express and City Girls, blending seasoned musicianship with disco-fueled energy.

​Originally known as Yachtly Groove, the band soon evolved into The Yachties, reflecting a bigger vision: a crew dedicated to smooth yacht rock grooves, glittering disco rhythms, and unforgettable live performances that keep every crowd moving.
