Audition submissions are now open for Zac Brown’s Same Boat, an intimate music venue aboard the forthcoming Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber.

Inspired by the spirit and storytelling of Zac Brown’s hit song “Same Boat,” Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line’s talent search seeks artists who can bring connection, authenticity and energy to the stage.

“Same Boat is set to become the most exciting live music venue at sea and working with Zac Brown to bring it to life has been incredible,” says Christopher Ivy, chief executive officer of Margaritaville at Sea. “With Nashville’s Broadway helping set the tone, we’re creating a stage that will bring rising talent to Beachcomber.”

The cruise line is looking for singer-songwriters, solo artists, duos, trios, and bands. Contracts are available on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

Artists who are interested in participating can submit audition materials, including a performance video, via email to [email protected] or via www.margaritavilleatsea.com/same-boat-showcase. 

Selected performers will be invited to live auditions at the Margaritaville Hotel in Nashville from May 12-15, culminating in a final-day open casting call on May 16 at Margaritaville Restaurant on Broadway.

Starting in 2027, Beachcomber will offer four- to eight-night itineraries to the Eastern and Southern Caribbean from PortMiami.
