Festival travel is getting a serious upgrade for 2026, as Hospitality On The Beach announces a brand-new premium yacht experience in partnership with Nautica Collective — marking a first for the iconic Croatian destination.
Set against the stunning Adriatic coastline, the eight-day voyage (27 June – 4 July 2026) blends island-hopping adventure, curated dining and seamless access to one of electronic music’s most celebrated beach festivals at The Garden Resort.
A New Era of Festival Travel
Designed for travellers seeking more than the typical festival stay, this new concept reimagines accommodation as part of the experience itself. Guests will stay aboard premium five-cabin sailing catamarans, each hosting up to 10 people, creating an intimate, private charter-style atmosphere rather than a crowded resort package.
With a dedicated skipper and onboard chef, the experience includes all meals, drinks, and a flexible sailing itinerary through Croatia’s Dalmatian islands. Expect hidden coves, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque coastal towns — all before docking in Tisno for the main event.
Festival tickets are included, with packages available via: https://www.nauticacollective.com/hospitality
Seamless Access to the Festival
Arriving in Tisno on 30 June, yacht guests will enjoy exclusive access to a private pre-party before the full festival kicks off on 1 July. From there, it’s easy to move between yacht life and the festival’s vibrant programming.
Highlights include:
- Beach, Main Stage and Olive Grove performances
- Sunset boat parties along the Adriatic
- After-hours sessions at Barbarella’s Discotheque
The 2026 lineup features major names in drum & bass including Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D and Lens.
Curated Experiences Onboard
Beyond the music, the yacht experience adds a lifestyle edge with optional curated activities, including:
- Croatian wine tastings hosted by Domm The Somm
- Intimate sunset DJ sets from Hospital Records artists
- Private vineyard tours across nearby islands
This blend of music, gastronomy and travel positions the experience firmly within the growing trend of experiential tourism.
Celebrating 30 Years of Hospital Records
The 2026 edition of Hospitality On The Beach also marks a major milestone — 30 years of Hospital Records. Since launching, the festival has become a global hotspot for drum & bass fans, drawing crowds from across Europe, North America and Australia.
Now entering its seventh year, the event continues to evolve, with this yacht collaboration introducing a completely new way to experience festival culture.
Limited Availability for 2026
With only a small number of yachts available for its debut year, the experience offers a rare opportunity to combine luxury sailing with a world-class music festival.
For travellers looking to elevate their summer plans, this hybrid of coastal escape and high-energy nightlife could redefine what a festival holiday looks like.
