Music · Everything else the club runs

Open Format on the water.

The club's most-programmed music format by volume, and the right answer for a group that does not share one taste. Day party or sunset, depending on the date.

varies BPM · The American club DJ tradition

SplitClub has programmed 17 open format days across Cannes, Dubai, Ibiza, Miami, Mykonos 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

No genre. An open-format DJ moves between hip hop, Latin, house, R&B and pop by reading the room, and the skill is entirely in the transitions. It is what most people actually mean when they say they want a DJ.

Open Format in Miami

Open format is the working sound of Miami nightlife — the beach clubs, the hotel pools, the majority of rooms on any given night. It is the default rather than a niche.

How the club programs it

The club's most-programmed music format by volume, and the right answer for a group that does not share one taste. Day party or sunset, depending on the date.

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.

Open Format days the club has run

Not a wishlist. These are dates that sailed.

Frequently asked questions

What does open format mean?

The DJ plays across genres and reads the room rather than working within one sound. It is the most common format the club runs.

Is this the right choice for a mixed group?

Usually yes. If the group does not agree on music, open format is what the club recommends.

Can we give the DJ requests?

Yes. On a member-hosted day the host shapes the set directly.
