This traditional folk song from the 1700s is about a young woman searching for her missing lover, a sailor. It has been covered many times, but Fairport Convention’s 1969 version stands out because of the unique way it merges folk with rock.
This 1988 rock hit from Robert Plant is perfect for the passive-aggressive skipper who is frustrated by his crew. [links]
It has been covered by the likes of Pearl Jam, Martha Wainwright and Crowded House.
Perfect for wooing a fellow crew member (although we will skip over the selfish lover part of the song), this beautiful 2007 Katie Melua hit is sublime to listen to. Great for relaxing onboard. [links]
“No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” by Kenny Chesney
Less is more for the country superstar, whose play on the popular “no shirt, no shoes, no service” saying sums up the perfect boat excursion. here
“Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” by Jimmy Buffett
It’s a chill slow jam, no doubt, and that’s good if you need a minute to let the icon’s message about the joys of travel and laugher sink in. “So many nights I just dream of the ocean,” Buffett sings, but you’re actually in it.
“Kokomo” by the Beach Boys
You don’t have to be “off the Florida Keys”—any body of water will do!—for this song to melt away your stress. From the second the Caribbean steel drums kick in, you know it’s time to forget about the problems that await on land and enjoy riding the waves.
“Boats” by Kenny Chesney
Following in the sandy footsteps of Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney has plenty of songs celebrating wind-in-your-face moments, including this peaceful ode to “vessels of freedom.”
“If I Had a Boat” by Lyle Lovett
When this song plays, you’ll think about life when you didn’t have a boat. You’ll also ask yourself why Lyle Lovett would ever want to ride a pony on a boat. here
This list covers a lot of ground – from Harry Belafonte to Jimmy Buffett to Led Zeppelin to Zac Brown. Because this playlist was generated by sailors, for sailors, there are songs about boats, sailors, the ocean, islands, and – of course – rum. From standards like “Sail On, Sailor” and “Southern Cross” to newer classics like (slightly profane, but hilarious) “I’m On A Boat” and the beautifully melancholy “Boat Song” there’s a little something here for everyone.
One cold and snowy day last winter, I asked a group of sailors for their favorite sailing songs. I took their suggestions, added some of my personal favorites, and came up with Sailing Songs – The Ultimate Sailor’s Playlist – just in time to be the soundtrack for the rest of your summer sailing adventures.
Music and sailing just seem to go together – we all have our favorite sailing songs, right? There’s something about the wind and the water, the motion of the boat, and that laid back sailing lifestyle that begs to be put to music. A good sailing song can transport you to another time and place – where things are simpler, and your only worry is the strength and direction of the breeze. more
You can listen here by clicking on any of the songs in the list, or subscribe to the playlist on Spotify . And for you music nerds out there, here’s the complete list in alphabetical order by song. [links]
Hopefully you’ll find your favorite sailing songs here – and discover some new boat tunes as well. Enjoy, and happy sailing! [links]
I’m serious about this one. I get myself (and my family) in the mood by having a fun attitude and playing some cruise music.
2. The psychological/emotional
Do you have a particular song that plays in your head when you think of cruising? Maybe you even have more than one, like a Cruise Playlist.
