Yacht Rock Radio

Yacht Rock Radio is an internet radio station from the New York region that runs around the clock and dedicates itself entirely to the gentle soft rock of the 1970s. The program is received as a livestream in the browser; it is free and available without a subscription. The station describes itself with the motto “Nothing but Smooth Breezes Ahead”, meaning only gentle breezes ahead.

At the center are artists associated with the style: Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Toto, and Hall & Oates. On the website, there is also a section with listener wishes and dedications that appear directly in the program. Additionally, the station publishes articles about bands and albums of the era, including a series about the most famous songs of the genre.

The website bears the addition “Smooth | Yacht Rock Radio Sailing…” and presents the station as an accompaniment to summer mood on the water, which is also reflected in the imagery and beach sections.
