If the current ‘Stay at Home’ ruling has taught us anything, it has to be just how important music and online content can be. From helping you graft better, to helping you unwind and relax or setting up the night for a good old family house party, music is the way to set your heart alight.

We’ve gone through our playlists and streams to share our favourite playlists from local artists and international sailing vlogs and blogs with you.

Since we can’t go out and listen to our favourite local bands in our favourite local bars, and we can’t be out on the water blasting our best sailing tunes… why not sit back at home and enjoy our compilation of tunes for whatever mood you find yourself in!

We want to shine a spotlight on local art and further support its growth in the local market, so please support our local musicians and enjoy their works below!

Find your favourite local indie/alternative, artists under SA Rock Essentials or Chilled Vibes playlists or SAlt on Spotify.

Anyone keeping track on our ‘How to Guide’ will know that we have a super special place in our hearts for Elayna and Riley from Sailing La Vagabonde, so naturally their epic music selections have to be included in this list.

They have a great page on their website with a list of music links to the artists they have collaborated with in their videos and since Elayna is also a musician you can find some of her songs and covers on their YouTube Channel

But For now!

These are our two favourite playlists from them so far on Spotify - for more of their tunes click here

SAILING LA VAGABONDE OFFICIAL

CRAZY NEW BEGINNING

SAILING FORTUITOUS is the boat log, or 'blog' if you will, of the sailboat Fortuitous, where this avid sailor reflects on their sails, screwups, and their thoughts about nautical things.

From time to time they mention their sailing playlists. Encompassing the entire continuum of smooth music, from canonical Yacht Rock to Daft Punk’s reboot of 70s smooth. These playlists have gone through steady changes over the years.

Lucky for us, the wonderful people from this great blog thought it would be nice to have them in one place, for us to enjoy.

Not all of the songs they normally listen to are available on Spotify, so there are some missing items here, but you probably get the idea.
