Yacht Rock on SiriusXM experienced a change in its channel assignment in 2025. Traditionally known as a seasonal and summer channel often placed in the 300+ range, Yacht Rock Radio moved permanently to channel 15 on SiriusXM starting around March-April 2025. This change came after the station Mosaic, which played 90s/2000s pop music and occupied channel 15, was moved up to the 300s and had its production scaled back. As a result, Yacht Rock Radio gained a prominent, year-round position on the SiriusXM lineup at channel 15 for easier access and availability. However, as of September 2025, there are reports and confirmations from SiriusXM that Yacht Rock Radio is currently located on channel 311, not channel 15, suggesting some possible fluctuations or confusion in the exact channel placement between 15 and 311, with channel 311 being the one indicated in the most recent SiriusXM channel lineup. Additionally, some users noted that channel 15 seemed to have programs such as Guitar Greats and others, while Yacht Rock was still accessible on 311 or online streaming. Overall, Yacht Rock Radio remains available on SiriusXM, with its channel number either permanently or primarily on channel 15 at some point in 2025 and confirmed availability on channel 311 as well, possibly reflecting an official online/streaming channel or satellite assignment shift.
In summary: Yacht Rock Radio was moved permanently to channel 15 in early 2025, but as of fall 2025, it is confirmed still available on channel 311, indicating that the exact channel may vary depending on platform or recent updates.
