Whether you are going sailing and need a few classic rock throwbacks, or are craving the perfect song that will give you the chill water vibes, we compiled a great list of sailing songs for you.
This list is not strictly about sailing, this list is feel-good music meant for sailing while enjoying yourself out on the water.
When beginning this list, the number one song for sailing that came to mind is the great rock classic Come Sail Away by Styx [Insert- lyrics are now playing on repeat in my head].
However, given that we are from Florida, we have grown up with a lot of great classic rock tunes while out on the water and of course, Jimmy Buffett.

How to stream your list of songs for sailing?
There are many great music streaming platforms. One in particular that we like to use is Amazon's Music Unlimited because you can create personal playlists and then stream your favorite music. What's easy about Amazon is, is that Amazon has genres already created so it's really easy for you to press play and stream your music that way.
How to listen to music while on the water?
We recommend portable speakers that are waterproof and have Bluetooth. Here is a link to a great waterproof portable speaker that we enjoy. Plus it comes with a protective case for when not in use.
Now, after great debate, this is our selection of top 10 songs for sailing
