Of course, Steely Dan or Supertramp comes to mind.
But one of the best examples would be Daryl Hall & John Oates' War Babies, which is actually more of a Todd Rundren album. If you have other examples, please share.

I thought it was cruise ship rock. Yachts are too small to fit the keyboards and drum sets.

Speaking of Todd Rundgren, this one floats near the harbor...

80s Moody Blues and 80s Roxy Music are YRR, (yacht rock related). Possibly "From the Beginning" by ELP is YRR also.

Ambrosia first 3 releases would possibly fit the Prog Yacht Rock bill.

Genesis solo albums including Collin's debut "Face Value," both of Gabriel's first releases (Car and Scratch), and Rutherford's "Mike & the Mechanics."

"Gino Vannelli - Brother to Brother" to me perfectly fits that label

No. Just no. That's not remotely "yacht rock," prog or otherwise.

Actually it fits the general description of yacht rock rather well. The OP asked for Progressive Yacht rock--- that ain't Gordon Lightfoot or Christopher Cross. Edited by Atavachron - 11 hours 23 minutes ago at 14:07 |

Although he isn't in the Jazz Rock/Fusion group here (but probably should be), I'd be inclined to put Jeff Lorber Fusion in this group (Prog Y R)...
