Like this from Dane Donohue with Stevie Nicks on backing vocals.

Not a massive fan of that album, but it has a pretty stellar line up of musicians:https://youtu.be/47NHVdvKgCE

Victor Feldman, Ernie Watts, Steve Lukather, Larry Carlton, Chuck Rainey, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Timothy B Schmit, Steve Gadd, Chuck Findley, Jay Graydon, Mike Pocaro.... just about 'everyone'.

Just to add they tend to concentrate on music made between 77-82.
So you would tend to hear tracks off Aja and Gaucho and Donald Fagen’s first solo album, any Michael McDonald era Doobies but strange when it comes to Fleetwood Mac, Rumours isn’t considered Yacht Rock but some tracks off of the 1975 White album is, like Sugar Daddy and Say You Love Me.

I guess some of it comes into my (fairly wide) musical taste.
I've got a Michael McDonald album in my collection of vinyl (What A Fool Believes being my favourite of his) and Fleetwood Mac seem to get lumped into the 'Yacht Rock' category too.
Interestingly it seems to be getting a bit of a revival, The Ting Tings upcoming album is greatly inspired by Yacht Rock (Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac getting a mention as influences) and certainly their recent (and upcoming) gigs are very much in that style (even in the versions of their earlier stuff they are performing) and I've seen Yacht Rock mentioned in connection with other artists as well.
I guess there's 'Muzak YR' and there's the easy going, but musically strong YR as well - Like most styles, there's good and bad.

I'm a fan of Donald Fagen, especially the Kamakiriad album.

I first heard it when working on my speed boat (ironic!). The radio show I had on in the background played the entire album and I liked every track, so went out and bought it that day.
It was the first time I'd heard of the guy.
