About the Event
The Club's biggest party of the year returns.
The Dinghy Dance: Tropical Island Edition transforms Sea View Yacht Club into the Island's ultimate tropical beach club for one unforgettable summer evening.
Expect sunset cocktails, live music, tropical styling, island-inspired dining and an atmosphere that builds from laid-back beach club vibes into one of the biggest dancefloors of the season.
