Music

Every genre the club programs.

A yacht day is six hours with the same twelve people and no door policy, which makes it the most forgiving room in the city to program. SplitClub builds days around one sound rather than a mixed bill — and the cost of the vessel is split across the deck.

23 genres · 61 club days · 10 cities

Most boat parties are a boat with a speaker on it. The club programs the day as a room — the sound, the departure time, the route and the group are all chosen together, because a set that peaks at sunset has to leave the dock at the right hour to get there.

10 of the 23 formats below have already sailed. The rest are programmed on request: a member or a host proposes a date, and the club sources the vessel and the crew around it. Nothing here is a listing and nothing is user-generated — every day is built by the club end to end, and every member is reviewed before they step aboard.

Miami is the home port and the calendar runs weekly. The club has also programmed music days in Cannes, Capri, Dubai, Ibiza, Mallorca, Monaco, Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, Sydney. See the calendar →

House and its subgenres

House 118–126 BPM Four-on-the-floor kick, a swung hi-hat, and a bassline that carries the whole record. 9 club days Deep House 118–124 BPM Warmer and more patient than club house — Rhodes chords, muted sevenths, a bassline that sits back in the mix, and vocals used as texture more than as a hook. 1 club day Progressive House 122–128 BPM Built on the long form. On request Tech House 124–128 BPM The stripped, percussive middle ground between house and techno. On request Afro House 115–124 BPM House built on live-feeling percussion — congas, shakers, layered hand drums — with vocals often in Zulu, Xhosa, Portuguese or French, and a bassline that rolls rather than pumps. 1 club day Latin House 122–128 BPM House with Latin percussion in the foreground — timbales, congas and clave patterns cut against a four-on-the-floor kick, usually with Spanish-language vocals. 3 club days

Techno

Melodic House & Techno 120–126 BPM Darker and more cinematic than house, more musical than techno. On request Techno 130–145 BPM Machine music. On request

Latin

Reggaeton 88–96 BPM Built on dembow — the syncopated boom-ch-boom-chick that runs under essentially every record in the genre. 6 club days Salsa 150–250 (roughly 90 in dance time) BPM Live-band music built on clave, montuno piano and a full brass section. 4 club days Bachata 120–140 BPM Guitar-led, romantic and built on a four-count with an accented hip on the fourth. On request

Afro and Caribbean

Afrobeats 100–115 BPM West African pop — syncopated percussion, a light and open mix, melodic vocals in English, Pidgin, Yoruba or Twi, and an unhurried swing that never quite lands on the beat. 2 club days Amapiano 108–115 BPM Defined by the log drum — a deep, bending sub-bass hit that functions as both bassline and percussion — over jazzy piano chords, shakers and long, patient arrangements. 4 club days Dancehall & Soca 90–110 dancehall, 145–165 soca BPM Dancehall is Jamaican, built on riddims that dozens of artists voice separately, sparse and heavy. On request

Hip hop, R&B and Miami bass

Hip Hop 70–90 (140–170 half-time trap) BPM Rhythm and voice. On request R&B 60–100 BPM Voice first. On request Miami Bass 125–145 BPM The Roland TR-808 kick drum pushed until it distorts, fast breakbeats, and call-and-response vocals. On request

Everything else the club runs

Brazilian Funk 130–150 BPM Fast, raw and percussive — the tamborzão rhythm, heavily clipped drums, chanted Portuguese vocals. On request Disco, Funk & Soul 100–125 BPM Live rhythm section, string arrangements, a bassline you can sing. On request Drum & Bass 170–180 BPM Breakbeats at double tempo over a half-time sub-bass, so it reads as both extremely fast and quite slow at once. On request Trance 132–142 BPM Long melodic builds, a breakdown that removes the drums entirely, and a return that is the whole point of the record. On request Open Format varies BPM No genre. 17 club days Ambient & Sound Bath under 100 or none BPM Music with no rhythm section, or almost none. 5 club days

How a music day works

  1. The club programs the day. A specific vessel on a specific date, with the genre, the DJ, the route and the hours already decided.
  2. You claim one place. A single contribution for that one day. No initiation fee, no annual dues, no share of a boat.
  3. It only sails if it fills. Contributions are held through our state-of-the-art payment processing system until the day is fully funded. A day that does not fill does not sail, and nobody is charged.
  4. Everyone aboard is vetted. Application-only in every city — which is most of the point of programming by genre in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Can you have a DJ on a yacht in Miami?

Yes, and SplitClub supplies both. Open decks absorb low frequencies far faster than a room does, so the system is specified for the deck rather than carried out of a club — which is the single most common reason a boat party sounds thin.

What does a music day cost per person?

The vessel is arranged once and split across the people on it, so the number depends on the boat, the date and the number of places. Each day's activity contribution is shown in the app before you confirm.

Can I bring my own DJ?

On a member-hosted day, yes. Members who have been on a club day can propose and host their own; the club handles the vessel, the crew and the funding. How hosting works →

The European summer, from the water. Monaco, Cannes and Saint-Tropez on the water, and the Ibiza closings. Read the season letter →
