Hospitality on the Beach Announces Exclusive Yacht Voyage Partnership
A New Horizon for Drum & Bass
Hospitality’s flagship drum & bass holiday, Hospitality On The Beach, is unveiling a transformative experience for its 2026 edition. In a strategic partnership with luxury sailing specialists Nautica Collective, the festival is introducing an exclusive way for fans to engage with the event: an intimate eight-day yacht voyage along Croatia’s stunning coastline, culminating at the festival’s home, The Garden Resort in Tisno.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the Tisno destination, as it is the first time a festival at this renowned site has integrated an exclusive Adriatic yacht voyage into its official programming. Festival tickets are included in the package, with guests able to secure their cabin with a £500pp deposit and flexible payment plans. For larger groups, a full five-cabin yacht can be chartered exclusively for up to 10 guests.
Elevating the Festival Experience
Designed for music-loving travelers seeking a more elevated festival experience, the voyage delivers a balance of adventure, escapism, and high-fidelity sound. Guests enjoy private yacht living with the option to dip into one of electronic music’s most celebrated beachside festivals just minutes away on the shoreline. Each yacht accommodates up to 10 guests, creating an intimate environment more akin to a private charter than a traditional festival package, complete with curated dining and island exploration.
“We’re incredibly excited to be taking Nautica to the next level in collaboration with the world’s leading drum & bass brand. With my background in music travel and festivals, creating music-led experiences has always been something I’m deeply passionate about, so this partnership feels especially exciting. By combining the energy of a destination festival with a premium yacht adventure over eight days, we’re creating something truly unique for fans – a one-of-a-kind experience that pushes the boundaries of what a music festival can be.” — Lucy Buckmaster, Founder of Nautica Collective
Itinerary and Programming
Guests will spend eight days and seven nights aboard a premium five-cabin sailing catamaran exploring Croatia’s Dalmatian islands before arriving in Tisno as the event unfolds. Each vessel comes with a dedicated skipper and onboard chef, with all meals and drinks included. The flexible sailing itinerary allows guests to discover hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters, and anchor in picturesque island towns. The experience also offers seamless access to the festival, including transfers to boat parties and the legendary Barbarella’s afterparties.
Arriving in Tisno on 30th June, guests will have exclusive access to the festival’s private pre-party, before the full experience begins on 1 July. The lineup features heavyweights such as Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D, and Lens. Optional curated experiences include onboard wine tastings featuring Croatian selections hosted by Dynamite MC, intimate sunset DJ sets at anchor from Hospital Records artists, and private vineyard tours.
The full sailing experience runs from 27th June to 4th July 2026, aligning with the seventh year of Hospitality On The Beach, which celebrates 30 years of the influential Hospital Records label. With limited yachts available, this partnership offers a rare opportunity to combine luxury sailing with one of the most iconic 90s dance-influenced 10 Years-strong event brands in the world.
