Thanks again and I look forward to working with you for years to come!"

FROM OUR GOOGLE REVIEWS

"Having worked with a various yacht uniform suppliers this company has by far been the easiest and friendliest company to work with. They were very adaptable and patient with our requests and always replied within 48 hours. I communicated mostly with Farah who was a saviour as we had to order all new uniform mid season. She handled our crazy demands incredibly professionally and was always very helpful. I couldn't recommend this company enough !!"

Testimonials

S/Y Taipan 37M The team at Wave Uniform have been nothing short of brilliant! Following a name change we had to completely renew all the uniform in a brand new colour scheme and style and I couldn’t have asked for a better service. The end result was a great success to the point where guests were asking if they could please have another polo, hat or t-shirt. Everything was delivered well on time and they’ve been incredibly helpful with last minute requests and alterations. Their show room is ideally located and the stock they carry for sizing and getting an idea of style and material is extensive. I look forward to placing another order with Wave. Chief Steward Clara Solvinger

 S/Y ALL SMOKE 24M We have used Wave Uniforms for all our Race Gear so far this year, All ordering has gone very smoothly. They met their deadlines and delivered within the confirmed timeframe. All the embroidery, screen print and vinyl were exactly as they should have been after confirming all the storyboard that we received. We are happy with the end result of all our uniform. We will continue to use wave Uniforms for anything needed in the future. Captain Jurgen Feller

S/Y NGONI 58M The team at Wave Uniforms were brilliant right from the start.

I would highly recommend Wave Uniforms for any vessel wanting a good quality service with people that obviously have a passion for their job. Many thanks for your help guys. Captain Iain Cook

M/Y BARTALI 46M It is with pleasure I can recommend Wave Uniforms, who recently provided our entire uniform inventory for a 47m New Build MY. We had very specific items that the owner had requested and wave was the only supplier that went the extra mile to source every item. Sarah provides very personal and professional service and we will continue to use Wave for all our future uniform supplies. Captain Stewart McDonald 

S/Y BELLA PRINCIPESSA 19M Sarah and her team went above and beyond when we needed last minute new uniforms. Previously we had been using another longer running company. However it took ages to get back and they seemed not to care about the bit of urgency. Sarah and her team were prompt and positive and helped us right till the very end. I would highly recommend them for uniforms! Chief Stewardess Alexis Garrison

M/Y LIFE SAGA 65M Uniform orders can be stressful especially on a new build project, but the Wave Uniforms team made it so easy for me.

Chief Stewardess Hannah Brooks

M/Y AMEVI 80M Sarah & Garth have been such a pleasure to work with. They are efficient and friendly, they understand the craziness of yachting and just make uniform one less hassle.

Yachty by Nature

Yacht rock outfits, yacht rock outfits 101.

Whether you just discovered the art of smooth or been digging smooth soft rock for a while now, the subject of Yacht Rock Outfits is on your mind. Let me just say, for those about to dock, we salute you. There is an unmistakable moment when Yacht Rock is revealed to you. For me, it happened at a fancy industry party in LA. This fab girl came up and mic dropped it so smoothly to my then 80’s band, Neon Nation , saying “you guys play any yacht rock”? Holy crap, I pretty much spit out my drink and fell to the floor wondering what I was in for.

“You walked in to the party, like you were walking onto a yacht.”

Yachty Attire

The rest is history and I’m now well into 7 years of playing keyboards in a nationally successful yacht rock band, Yachty by Nature . No doubt, I’m living that dream and it goes without saying, I’m deep in the yacht myself. With weekly yacht party after monthly yacht wedding and more, I’m becoming a Yacht Attire expert in thought and practice and already guiding the band and others in this area of fashion.

Truly, if you get the clothing right, enough people with that common goal, just add yacht music and the fun ensues. Truth be told, I’ve watched as a room full of punk rockers that committed to the groovy, eclectic yacht rock dress code transformed like you wouldn’t believe.  They turned a simple celebration with a yacht rock band into a full scale 1978 throwback LOVE FEST and the clothes were off the hook. The energy, the vibe, the clothes, the music became something so magical all its own. Build the yacht and they will sail to it.

So, next time you are having a yacht party or watching your favorite yacht rock band indulge yourself with an epic outfit that will make all it happen. It’s not just the music, the band, the vibe, the look, the energy. It’s the sum of its parts and those smooth outfits have the mighty power to transfix your situation.

The Captain’s Hat…

Yep, you guessed it, the fastest coronation to yacht rock royalty is the Captain’s Hat.  Buy one, make one, bedazzle one or borrow one. In fact, the sky is the limit here so let your creativity reign if you are gonna go for it.  But, just get one somehow, some way and you are on the yacht. In fact, Broner makes a very comfortable, quality, straightforward and good looking hat that fits well.  Additionally, it avoids the cheap fit and look of those basic hats on Amazon. Do yourself a favor, get a hat or dig deep in the vault and find a classic, vintage, or authentic captain’s hat online. Additionally, we’ve seen some pretty cool and unique creations out there, but for simplicity, fit, and value, Broner is the answer.  Lastly, remember what Hefner did for the captains hat!

Yacht Rock Stripes get it done…

No matter what color, stripes will be the 2nd easiest way to begin your yacht fashion transformation. Put on a red and white striped shirt (or blue or black mainly) and you’ll be sailing in no time. In fact, stripes are probably the #1 most sighted outfit at a yacht rock party. Just know that it’s only the start. When you accessorize over the stripes with a complementary pant color or scarf, ascot, belt, and obviously the captain’s hat or more, you’ve earned your captain’s bars quicker than you can say Ship Shape! Don’t forget to keep it simple, too much or conflicting stripes will sink that ship just as fast.

That 70’s look…

Gettin’ Yachty @ Costello’s in Mission Viejo

Due to the strong connection between the silly, the goofy, the fun and the yacht party, going retro will set a course for adventure. Call it the Ron Burgundy effect or just throwing back to the 1977 duds they wore on Midnight Special , this look is uber sexy and may attract the opposite sex faster than any other yacht look. In fact, you don’t have to look too far to find polyester or denim clad jean meat at many yacht rock concerts. Additionally, the fake mustache works wonders whether you go 70’s vintage or any different yachty outfit.  More importantly, get bonus points on your yacht rock outfits if you can get the feathered hair going!  Polyester, print shirts, and for the ladies, buy that disco dress and some fabulous glasses and you’re ready to yacht!

The Yacht Club, Tennis Club, Golf Club…

Think Caddyshack, Marina del Rey, golfing, the harbor, and tennis. Moreso, put a tennis sweater over that polo or even better go up the ladder and put on that navy blue blazer with an ascot and some yellow glasses. Actually, that’s the calling card for us in Yachty by Nature! Pretend that you’re christening the Flying Wasp or dropping anchor with Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack and you’ll be flying indeed. Or even better, watch Caddyshack to get in the mood for your party and let inspiration take hold…and even a few classic movie lines. In fact, if you look around the golf club or yacht club scenes, your creativity is sparked immediately.  The outfits jump right off the screen and wreak of Yacht Club greatness.  Speaking of movies, we’ve even seen a die hard Yachty arrive in the Goldie Hawn outfit from the movie Overboard. Keep your yacht rock outfits classy San Diaaaaaago!

Go Hawaiian on your Yacht Rock outfits…

Get Nauti !

Lastly, this category is a catch all for everything nautical, yachty, and seaworthy.  Use your imagination or stick to the basics.  You can don the captain’s outfit with shoulder bars easily for the Love Boat vibe.  Or, you can just look like Charlie’s Angels coming off a yacht in 1978.  Literally any type of ocean, beach, seaside, or otherwise yachty type of clothing will do.  The scarf around the neck, the boat shorts and the Nantucket red pants and plaid shirt all qualify as supremely yachty fashion.  When in doubt, check yourself by asking, “would I wear this outfit in the summer in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard?”  Most importantly, if the answer is yes, you are yacht rock camera ready.  In fact, let’s not forget the boat shoes, deck shoes, or Sperry Top Siders all together.

Yacht Rock Outfits Wildcard…

Never forget that there’s really no authority on this subject so you can always just go for it.  Sometimes, the more uniform, standard, and strict we get on the yacht, the more mundane we become.  Therefore, don’t be afraid to dive into the vanity t-shirt, go stripes and ascot, and generally mix it up.  There are no hard and fast rules behind the Yacht Rock outfit, just your creativity and passion for the music.  From experience, we’ll go captain’s outfit one day and crazy boat shirt the next.  Ultimately, we’ve seen it all from the stage and relish the moments when people go wild with it.  In fact, there’s probably even a yacht rock adjacent area for the Pirate Party as well.  Captain Crunch sightings aside, those parties can really bring together the nauti, yachty, knotty by nature and then some.  In the end, go for it and see what happens.  It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eyepatch.  Honestly, it’s all about the fun so get Kraken!!!

As always, let the vibe be your guide.  Thus, for your next yacht rock themed party, concert, or just a Yachty night on the town, get your ensemble going.  Whether you are new to the yacht or an old deck hand, that outfit will crank up the experience.  So, commit to making that statement with your yacht clothing or up your game and improve on the garb you already have.  As we well know, you can never have enough options to mix it up for a fun night with Yachty by Nature or some other occasion.

Happy to be your guide here.  Feel free to comment and add some great ideas on this post or on social media. #yachtrock #yachtrockoutfits #yachtybynature #yachtattire #yachtrockfashion

About Author

Thanks for giving props to Tiki Caliente! I would like to point out that the most proper Hawaiian shirt to wear to a Yacht Rock concert is one that would have been for sale between 1978 and 1983! Think to yourself, would Magnum PI or Pablo Cruise wear this? And if so, bring it on! Most Magnum PI kind of Hawaiian shirts go great with a white jacket and white shorts. Vintage late ‘70s and early ‘80’s Hawaiian shirts can be found Online in Etsy yacht rock shops, and on eBay. Not expensive, and so ”vintage smooth”. Look like a pro, and be “era appropriate”. Girls can find vintage 70’s nautical dresses on Etsy, too!

THIS is everything!!! I love it Carl!!!

Ahoy Jenny! THanks so much for the kind compliment 🙂 As you know, we’re super inspired and love switching up the outfits, attire, clothing, and costumes. Yacht Rock rules!

Awesome show this past weekend at Circa Caliente glad the rain stopped so the show could go on.

Morgan stanley boss among 6 missing after yacht sinks off the coast of sicily.

Six individuals, including Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International bank, and Chris Morvillo, a lawyer from Clifford Chance, remain missing following the sinking of a luxury yacht off the Sicilian coast during a storm on Monday, according to Sicily's Civil Protection agency.

British technology mogul Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were initially reported missing after the incident about 700 meters from the Mediterranean island's shore.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter yacht, was carrying a total of 22 people – 12 passengers and 10 crew members – comprising British, United States, and Canadian nationals.

The luxury yacht went down near Palermo's coast at around 5 am local time, after a heavy storm caused waterspouts, or rotating columns of air and mist, reported the BBC.

Fifteen individuals were rescued, among them a 1-year-old British girl.

Sicily's Civil Protection Agency confirmed that the body of the ship's cook, a Canadian who had been residing in Antigua, had been recovered, according to Italian newspaper la Repubblica.

Italian news agency Ansa cited witnesses saying the Bayesian had its anchor down when the storm hit, resulting in the mast snapping and the vessel capsizing before sinking.

According to local media, Salvo Cocina of Sicily's Civil Protection Agency said: "They were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Specialized fire and rescue divers, experts in confined-space operations, were flown in from Rome and Sardinia on Monday, said the BBC.

However, their initial exploration of the sunken vessel, located approximately 50 meters beneath the surface, proved unsuccessful.

"Access was limited only to the bridge, with difficulty due to the presence of furniture obstructing passage," the Italian fire department stated in a social media post.

Mike Lynch, dubbed "the British Bill Gates" in media reports, is a technology entrepreneur, who recently celebrated his acquittal in a high-profile fraud case related to the $11 billion sale of his company, Autonomy, to US computing giant Hewlett-Packard, or HP. He had reportedly been facing two decades in jail, and invited his legal team aboard the yacht to celebrate the result of the case.

The incident in Sicily coincides with the death of Lynch's co-defendant in the fraud case, Stephen Chamberlain, after an accident in Cambridgeshire, in the United Kingdom on Saturday. Chamberlain was hit by a car while jogging.

Morvillo, a prominent lawyer, worked on Lynch's trial and the investigation into the 2001 9/11 New York terror attacks. Bloomer is the 70-year-old British chairman of Morgan Stanley International and of insurance company Hiscox. Both their wives are among the six missing individuals.

Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was rescued along with 14 others, including a mother who held her 1-year-old baby above the waves, reported Sky News.

A spokesperson for Morgan Stanley said the company was "deeply shocked and saddened" and added: "Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular the Bloomer family, as we all wait for further news from this terrible situation."
