Dockside Radio

What Is Dockside Radio?

Dockside Radio is maritime music inspired by the rhythm of life on the water. It’s the sound of harbor lights at dusk, diesel engines cooling after a long run, shore power humming against a quiet pier.

These are harbor songs shaped by commercial fishing decks, offshore vessels, small boatyards, and the wider nautical lifestyle. Some tracks lean steady and reflective. Others carry the weight of steel hulls and weathered docks. None of it is parody. None of it is beach bar noise.

Dockside Radio lives inside the world of Bilge Baboon — a culture grounded in real seamanship, earned experience, and respect for the ocean. Whether you work offshore or simply feel at home near saltwater, this broadcast was built with you in mind.

It’s maritime music for people who understand that boats are never really finished, that maintenance matters, and that the sea doesn’t negotiate.

Respect the ocean

Built for the Working Waterfront

Maritime culture runs deeper than weather and tide charts. It’s early departures, late returns, quiet responsibility, and the steady discipline of running machinery that has to work when it matters.

Dockside Radio reflects that reality.

The songs draw from commercial fishing grounds, offshore passages, small harbors, and long days in the yard. Themes include earned lessons, mechanical grit, watchstanding silence, and the calm that settles in when the wind lays down at the end of the day.

This is music for those who live, work, and love life on the water.

Just the steady sound of a maritime lifestyle that shapes people for good.

If you’ve ever stood at the rail at dusk and felt something familiar in the quiet, you’re already tuned in.
