Leading drum & bass brand Hospitality On The Beach is redefining the destination festival experience for 2026, unveiling a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Nautica Collective. Together, they introduce an exclusive eight-day yacht voyage along Croatia’s Adriatic coastline, culminating at the festival’s home, The Garden Resort.
Marking a major evolution for festivals in Tisno—a destination long known for hosting some of Europe’s most celebrated summer events—this partnership represents the first time an Adriatic sailing experience has been fully integrated into a festival package. Guests can secure their place with a deposit, with full festival access included, while larger groups have the option to charter an entire five-cabin yacht for a more private experience.
Designed for travelers seeking a more elevated way to engage with festival culture, the experience blends luxury, exploration, and music. Each yacht accommodates up to 10 guests, offering an intimate setting that feels closer to a private charter than a traditional festival stay. Over eight days and seven nights, attendees will explore Croatia’s Dalmatian islands, with curated dining, island hopping, and time spent anchored in secluded coves and coastal towns.
“We’re incredibly excited to be taking Nautica to the next level in collaboration with the world’s leading drum & bass brand,” says Lucy Buckmaster. “By combining the energy of a destination festival with a premium yacht adventure, 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.”
Each sailing catamaran includes a dedicated skipper and onboard chef, with meals and drinks provided throughout the यात्रा. The flexible itinerary allows guests to move seamlessly between relaxation and high-energy moments, with easy transfers to festival boat parties and the iconic after-hours sessions at Barbarella’s.
Arriving in Tisno on June 30, guests will gain access to an exclusive pre-party before the full festival begins on July 1. From there, they can immerse themselves in the full Hospitality On The Beach experience, spanning stages like the Beach Stage, Olive Grove Stage, and Main Stage, alongside sunset boat parties and late-night programming. The 2026 lineup features drum & bass heavyweights including Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D, and Lens.
Beyond the music, the experience includes optional curated add-ons such as onboard wine tastings hosted by Dynamite MC (aka Domm The Somm), intimate sunset DJ sets from Hospital Records artists, and private vineyard tours across nearby islands.
Running from June 27 to July 4, 2026, the sailing experience aligns with a milestone year for Hospital Records, celebrating 30 years of shaping global drum & bass culture. Now in its seventh year, Hospitality On The Beach continues to attract an international audience from across Europe, North America, and beyond, offering a week defined by music, connection, and the natural beauty of the Adriatic coast.
With limited availability for its debut, this new concept introduces a rare opportunity to merge luxury travel with one of electronic music’s most beloved destination festivals—pushing the boundaries of what the modern festival experience can be.
