A Sailor’s Christmas Playlist

A Sailor's Christmas Playlist - 12° West

A Sailor’s Christmas Playlist

The holiday season is upon us! It’s cold here in the Northeast, but we still have sailing on the brain. Needing a jolt of energy to get us in the holiday spirit, we put together a new playlist: Sailing Songs – A Sailor’s Christmas.

The playlist includes a few classics, fresh twists on holiday standards, and uniquely nautical and island-influenced tunes. It leans heavily on a tropical vibe, with some reggae, soca, and steel drums thrown in for good measure. After all, who doesn’t dream of spending Christmas on a boat in the tropics?

You can listen here by clicking on any of the songs in the list, or subscribe to the playlist on Spotify. And for you music nerds out there, here’s the complete list in alphabetical order by song.
