SAIL the French
Côte d’Azur
A YACHT ROCK SPECIAL !
with
Lebo (ALO)
and
Capt. Eddie Roberts
(New Mastersounds / The Breaks)
WE'RE GOING SAILING AGAIN!!!
And this time it's to France's Côte d'Azur!
Set sail for a week of Yacht Rock, Riviera glamour, live music, and endless summer.
Think sun-drenched afternoons, sublime Mediterranean sunsets, chilled natural wine, Provençal feasts, and the unmistakable sounds of the ’70s and ’80s drifting across the water. Picture St-Tropez, Antibes, Cannes and Nice — experienced from the best seat in the house: your own yacht.
Our journey begins in Hyères, on the south coast of France — a beautiful Mediterranean town famous for its palm-lined shores, golden beaches, and its position as the gateway to the spectacular Îles d’Hyères.
As we settle into our floating home for the week, we'll cruise along the Côte d’Azur, exploring some of the French Riviera’s most glamorous and historic coastal towns. Days are made for swimming, sailing, lunching and lazy afternoons on deck; evenings for wandering ashore, lingering over dinner, and then returning to the yacht for something truly special.
Every night, the yacht becomes our own floating music venue.
As the sun sets over the Mediterranean, we’ll gather on deck for live performances inspired by the golden age of Yacht Rock — smooth grooves, soulful harmonies, irresistible melodies and the timeless songs that defined the ’70s and ’80s. Good music, great company, a glass of something cold in hand, and the Côte d’Azur shimmering all around us.
And, of course, there’s the food and wine.
Expect the very best of Provence — vibrant market produce, local delicacies and exceptional French natural wines.
This is sailing with a soundtrack — where the sea, sunsets, food, wine, music and friendship all come together.

Come sail with us!
Dan and Eddie met many years ago at Hight Sierra Music Festival (probably 2006 or 7!). Their musical friendship was evident from the first notes they shared together on stage. 20 years of sit ins, Jam cruises and festival hangs later, they will be solidifying and exploring that musical connection on an intimate sail along the Côte d'Azur.
“I don't think there's any guitar player out there that compliments my style and approach than Dan. We both have unorthodox technique, and we meld into each others sounds when we're trading licks together on stage.. it's magical and such a mutual appreciation” says Eddie.
