Explore Beach Party

Our annual family friendly beach party is back and open to everyone – sailors and non-sailors alike – to enjoy the live music, sunshine and summer vibes on the beach at Otehei Bay.

Live Music – Epic The Band

Epic will be providing the entertainment and sounds for our Beach Party this year. Their name says it all…experienced musicians that love to please their crowd with all the sing alongs and top hits from the 60’s to today.

International female vocalist Ellen will hit notes that impress with local hero JP Pedro sharing the limelight to be sure you get an “Epic” experience.

Come and join EPIC for an evening of fun, dancing and summer music vibes.
