Yachtley Crew at The Wiltern

Yachtley Crew is the band that took yacht rock out of the playlist and put it on stage in full nautical uniform. The group plays the soft-rock hits of the late 1970s and early 1980s, dressed as a crew of captains, and The Wiltern is a fitting room for it. If you are scanning concerts in Los Angeles for December, this is the one built for singing along with strangers.

When: Friday, December 11, 2026, listed start 7:00 PM Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster, linked below

What to expect

The pitch is simple: smooth harmonies, soft guitar solos and saxophone lines from the era when everyone seemed to be sailing somewhere. Yachtley Crew performs other artists' songs rather than originals, so expect a setlist of familiar favorites and a crowd that knows every word. The listing does not name an opener, so check the ticket page closer to the date for any added acts.

The band leans hard into the bit. The blazers, the captain's hats and the banter are part of the show, and audiences often show up dressed to match. A sailor cap or a navy blazer will not look out of place in the crowd.

The venue

The Wiltern is an Art Deco theater at Wilshire and Western, with a teal-green tiled exterior that is easy to spot from the street. The main floor is open standing and the balcony has seats, so you can pick between being in the middle of the singalong or watching it from above. For more about the room, see the Wiltern venue page.

Getting there

Wilshire Boulevard is busy on show nights, so leave extra time. The Metro D Line stops at Wilshire/Western, steps from the entrance, which makes transit the easiest option. Driving means paid lots nearby or street parking with strict posted limits, so read the signs carefully. Rideshare drop-off along Wilshire works too, though pickups after the show can take a while.

Before you go

The listing does not publish a price, so check the Ticketmaster page for current tickets before you budget. Bring ID, review the venue's bag policy and plan to arrive early if you want a spot near the stage. It also makes a good December night out if you are trying to fill a list of things to do in Los Angeles. More shows are in the concerts category, and the area is covered on the Los Angeles neighborhood page.
