Yachts Landing

I’m on a Boat

In all, thanks for your patience, support, understanding and love.  Yachty by Nature has been adding songs and working hard to be back soon.  In addition, we played a private show in Ladera Ranch last Friday and enjoyed the love fest.  In fact, the cul-de-sac party featured some pretty awesome kids dancing their hearts out with full synchronized moves!  Who knew that yacht rock could bring out the fun in our epic dance crew.  It felt amazing to feel alive again and bring smooth music and good vibes to our crowd.

Ultimately, music was in the air of south Orange County again.  In fact, even the Ladera buzz on Facebook spread the good word of life coming out of Covid 19.  Music on the streets of Ladera Ranch, how festive.  Cheers to the silver linings!  They must’ve heard Footloose and seen some of the Solid Gold dance crew moves.  Our new tunes were on full display.  And, lemme tell ya, Scotty McYachty and Courtney Cruise’s vocals didn’t disappoint.

High Park Taphouse show!

In fact, we made it two weeks in a row when the Mission Viejo Connection on Facebook wondered where the great music was coming from.  Well, it was High Park Tap House’s outdoor parking lot concert on March 27.  We had a sold out show and even some die hard fans that camped out on the lawn next to the venue to enjoy our Yachts Landing.  Indeed, the anchor has dropped and at Spring Break 2021, the future is looking better and better.

Yachts Landing postponements

All in all, it was a rough year of Covid 19.  In fact, the band was slated for shows all over the country last year.  In addition, we scheduled a Lake Arrowhead 4th of July.  Moreso, all the Canyon Clubs and the Rose shows in LA had to be rescheduled.  Worse yet, our Catalina Island show was canceled.  Unfortunately, it appears that we won’t get a date to play in 2021.  But, rest assured, the hottest yacht rock band in the business is posting up new dates and rescheduled shows currently.  New tunes are coming on left and right and hitting the mark.  Southern California’s ORIGINAL yacht rock band is coming back.  Let’s take a look here for the upcoming calendar!

Yachts Landing Calendar

First of all, we’ve sold out the first shows of 2021:

March 17 St. Paddy’s Day sold out for a shamrock of a good time at Black Marlin in Tustin, CA.

March 27 we had a SOLD OUT show at High Park taphouse in Mission Viejo, CA.  As you know, the yacht concerts are outside, socially distanced and doing the best we can.  Really looking forward to this rescheduled event and sorry to those who couldn’t get tickets!

April 17 at OC Tavern is also SOLD OUT and a huge night for our San Clemente peeps.  This parking lot already has our people traveling down from Los Angeles to check us out!  Ahoy, indeed.

April 24 Private Country Club Party in Palm Desert.  In fact, we wish you were invited!

May 1 Sea Legs in Huntington Beach .  We are back to the beach and a strong return to our favorite beach side venue!  Mayday, mayday, we’ll be on a crash course for adventure as this Love Boat will surely float your boat.

May 7 Lake Havasu , the S.S. Yachty by Nature will see yachts landing out on the river.  It’s a small venue so get their early!  free show.

Yachty JUNE 2021

June 12 we penciled in a show but we can’t post until we get full confirmation.  Stay tuned.

June 19 private wedding in San Clemente

August 14 Private Party

August 28   Canyon Club Santa Clarita .  CANCELED so that we can do July 3 at Canyon Club Agoura Hills!

September 5 Delta Coves on the Sacramento River Delta .  Northern California, here we come!  Moreover, the band is stoked on seeing our yacht rock crowd back in the Bay Area again.  And a yachty boat show as well?  Just what the doctor ordered, and Gopher, and Isaac, and the whole Love Boat crew.  Yachts Landing for real.

Yachts Landing soon

As you can see, the future is looking better and better for LIVE yacht rock shows .  Make sure and stay tuned, stay yachty, and come sail away with us when you can.  It’s spring break now.  Moreover, check out our shows outside and distanced.  Summertime will surely see some inside venues open up hopefully.  The band is working hard, adding tunes, and honing our one-of-a-kind yacht rock experience.  Importantly, we’ll drop anchor in the next couple months on the sand in Huntington Beach, near the water in Lake Havasu, and hopefully a mountain lake here and there.

Courtney Cruise

Specially, our crowd has finally experienced the addition of Courtney Cruise on vocals.  Similar to last year, the yachty crew of peeps in the audience watched as Courtney transformed the venue.  With epic renditions of Ain’t Nobody, You’re so Vain, and Magic, the crew was swooning.  Well, it’s been a magical add to the S.S. Yachty by Nature and we appreciate the wonderful welcome she has received.  In fact, the band has had a blast playing some Olivia Newton John, Pointer Sisters, and Chaka Khan.  Also a thank you to KTLA for airing a couple videos of us during the pandemic as well!  Check out our growing list of amazing songs.  Yachts are Landing, come sail away with us.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
