Country music artist Zac Brown is designing a concert venue for Margaritaville at Sea’s third ship, the Beachcomber.
The space, named Same Boat, will be the largest live music venue on the Beachcomber. Brown is involved in the design of the room as well as musical programming.

Renderings show table seating, overlapping rugs, a bar next to exterior windows and a shallow stage with a Zac Brown Band logo on the wall. “Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand, life is good today,” a lyric from the band’s song “Toes,” is written on another wall.
Brown described Same Boat as an “easygoing” space.
“Every detail reflects pieces of my own journey — from the stage to the sea — all coming together to create a place where people can connect, share a drink, listen to great music and feel that incredible sense of freedom you only find at a show or out on the open water,” he said. “That’s my kind of medicine.”

The venue shares a name with the song “Same Boat,” which Brown and Margaritaville founder Jimmy Buffett collaborated on for the Deluxe edition of Zac Brown Band’s “The Comeback” album in 2021. Buffett died in 2023.
The Beachcomber will begin sailing in early 2027 from Miami, a new homeport for the cruise line. The ship is the current Costa Fortuna, which will sail its final Costa cruise in September 2026.
