SplitClub has programmed 4 amapiano days across Capri, Miami and Saint-Tropez. The club arranges the vessel and the crew and programs the music; a vetted group claims the places and the cost of the day is split across the deck.
The sound
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. Slower than house and far more spacious than almost anything else in dance music.
Amapiano in Miami
Amapiano reached Miami through the same international Afro house circuit that brought South African headliners to the city's outdoor rooms, and it is now regularly programmed alongside Afro house and Afrobeats rather than separately.
How the club programs it
Among the best-suited genres the club programs. The log drum needs a system with real low end and a lot of air around it, and an open deck at moderate volume gives it both. Runs as a long afternoon rather than a peak-time set.
Every SplitClub day works the same way underneath the music. The club arranges one vessel for one date, with its captain and crew, and programs the route, the hours and the sound. Members claim single places rather than hiring a boat. Contributions are held through our state-of-the-art payment processing system until the day is fully funded — if it does not fill, it does not sail and nobody is charged.

Frequently asked questions
What is a log drum?
The bending sub-bass hit that defines the genre. It carries the bassline and the percussion at the same time, which is why Amapiano sounds so spacious.
Does SplitClub run Amapiano days?
Yes, usually combined with Afrobeats or Afro house. The club has run these in Miami, Capri and Saint-Tropez.
Is Amapiano slower than house?
Yes, noticeably — around 112 BPM against 124 for house. It reads as more relaxed even at high volume.
