Hospitality’s flagship drum & bass holiday, Hospitality On The Beach is unveiling something truly unique for their 2026 edition. Partnering with luxury sailing specialists Nautica Collective to launch an exclusive new way to experience the festival: an intimate eight-day yacht voyage along Croatia’s stunning coastline before culminating at the festival’s home, The Garden Resort in Tisno.
The collaboration marks the first time a festival at the renowned Tisno destination, home to some of Europe’s most celebrated summer festivals, has offered an exclusive Adriatic yacht voyage as part of the festival experience. Festival tickets are included, with guests able to secure their cabin with a £500pp deposit and flexible payment plans available. For larger groups, a full five-cabin yacht can also be chartered exclusively for up to 10 guests.
Designed for music-loving travellers seeking a more elevated festival experience, the voyage delivers a balance of adventure, escapism and music. 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, alongside curated dining and island exploration.
Lucy Buckmaster, Founder of Nautica Collective, said:“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.”
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 Hospitality On The Beach unfolds at the iconic Garden Resort. Each yacht comes with a dedicated skipper and onboard chef, with all meals and drinks included, while the flexible sailing itinerary allows guests to discover hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters and anchor in picturesque island towns along the way. The experience also offers seamless access to the festival, with transfers to boat parties and Barbarella’s afterparties on the mainland, plus easy airport-to-dock transport.
Arriving in Tisno on 30th June, guests will have exclusive access to the festival’s private pre-party, before the full festival experience begins on 1 July. From then on, they can step ashore to experience Hospitality’s legendary atmosphere from the Beach Stage, Olive Grove Stage and the Main Stage to sunset boat parties and the famous after-hours sessions at Barbarella’s, with a heavyweight programme featuring the likes of Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D, Lens and more.
Optional curated experiences are also available onboard including, onboard wine tastings featuring Croatian wines hosted by wine expert Domm The Somm (aka Dynamite MC who will be performing at the festival), intimate sunset DJ sets at anchor from Hospital Records artists, and private vineyard tours on nearby islands.
The full sailing experience runs 27th June to 4th July 2026 to align with the 2026 edition of Hospitality On The Beach, which celebrates 30 years of the influential Hospital Records label and brings together a global community of fans in Croatia each summer. Now entering its seventh year, Hospitality On The Beach has become one of electronic music’s most sought-after destination events, attracting guests from across Europe, North America, Australia and beyond for a week of music, sunshine and connection along the Adriatic coast.
The new sailing partnership introduces a completely new accommodation concept for the festival by offering guests the chance to elevate their experience on the Croatian coastline, while still remaining connected to the vibrant energy of the festival. With only a limited number of yachts available for its inaugural year, the experience offers a rare opportunity to combine luxury sailing with one of electronic music’s most iconic beachside festivals.
