Music · House and its subgenres

Deep House on the water.

The club's least aggressive music format and the one that most often sells out to groups who want to hear each other talk. Volume is deliberately set lower than a day party. Long afternoon at anchor, swim stop in the middle, set building only in the last two hours.

SplitClub has programmed 1 deep house day across Miami. 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

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. The genre rewards a good system at moderate volume, which makes it unusually well suited to a boat where conversation still matters.

Deep House in Miami

Deep house is the daytime end of Miami's dance scene rather than the after-hours end: it fills the hotel pool decks and the Sunday sessions along South Beach, and it is the sound most Miami rooftops default to before midnight. It is also the register most Miami Music Week pool parties open on before the tempo climbs.

How the club programs it

The club's least aggressive music format and the one that most often sells out to groups who want to hear each other talk. Volume is deliberately set lower than a day party. Long afternoon at anchor, swim stop in the middle, set building only in the last two hours.

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

Is deep house too quiet for a boat party?

That is usually the point. Deep house is programmed on days where the group wants music underneath the day rather than on top of it. For a louder room, the club runs tech house and open-format day parties instead.

What time do deep house days depart?

Most run as a midday or afternoon format, so the long flat middle of the day is spent at anchor. Sunset versions exist and depart late afternoon.

Can we request a specific deep house DJ?

Members who have been on a club day can propose and host their own, including bringing a DJ they know. The club handles the vessel, the crew and the funding.
