FAQ · Yacht entertainment

Frequently asked questions from charter clients.

01

What kind of equipment do you bring on board?

A compact PA scaled for a yacht's deck (60–150 W RMS, battery powered or connected to the boat's 12V supply via an adapter), wireless microphones with wind protection, and a small DJ controller with a laptop when a DJ is on board. Everything in bags resistant to humidity and salt.

02

How early do we arrive before start time?

It depends on the size of the boat and how long we need to set up: solo saxophone — 30 minutes before, acoustic trio — 45 minutes, DJ with equipment — 60 minutes, string quartet — 60–90 minutes. We arrange everything with the captain in advance so guests don't have to wait.

03

What if the weather isn't right for playing on deck?

Most yachts over 30 m have an interior lounge — we've played there in the rain. For smaller boats we have a plan B: shifting the schedule or moving to a port or marina, in agreement with the captain. We don't cancel because of the weather.

04

Can you play at multiple locations on the same day?

Yes. A typical day on a charter: welcome cocktails in one bay, cruising to an island for sunset, dance programme at a second location in the evening. The musicians sail with the boat or arrive by van at an agreed point.

05

How much does music for a yacht cost?

The price depends on duration, format (solo, trio, DJ or larger line-up), location (the logistics for Dubrovnik aren't the same as for Rovinj) and the equipment you need. A solo saxophonist for an hour and a half of cocktails — from around €600. A premium sunset cruise with a string quartet plus a DJ-led dance programme falls into a higher price bracket.
