YACHT CLUB STYLE ON DECK: The BAYC's Highly Anticipated Anchor Collection With King Saladeen Drops Tuesday!

Apes, ready your wallets and man the bow because the style that puts the Yacht Club in the Bored Ape Yacht Club is on the horizon!

On Friday, the Bored Ape Yacht Club announced that its first ever Anchor apparel drop with Philadelphia based artist King Saladeen will arrive on swampy shores this Tuesday!

 

“Mark your calendars,” the club tweeted. “The BAYC x  @Kingsaladeenart Anchor Drop will happen on June 30th, 2026 at 9AM PDT.”

 

 

As the Gazette previously reported, the BAYC unveiled Anchors earlier this week, a new series of limited edition collaborations between the club and artists. The first collection features King Saladeen, a contemporary visual artist known for his vibrant aesthetic whose work has been showcased at Art Basel events around the world and during NBA All Star Weekend. He has also collaborated with brands including Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce.

 

 

Next Tuesday's first Anchor drop will consist of four items: a T-shirt, a bucket hat, a collaborative yacht burgee flag, and a rugby polo that will be released later this year. According to the BAYC, each piece is designed to embody the spirit of the Yacht Club while incorporating King Saladeen's signature style.

 

 

“His work has a visual language that's instantly recognizable,” the BAYC wrote. "Bold color. Constant movement. Intention behind every choice. As we began exploring a nautical direction for the Club, his style felt like the natural place to start. Not because it's literal, but because it carries the same energy. Bold. Confident. Made to stand out.”

While every item in the collection will be limited edition, there will only ever be two burgee flags. One will be raffled off to a lucky winner, while the other will hang permanently in the rafters of the BAYC Clubhouse when it opens in Miami.

 

“The burgee captures the spirit of Anchor Drops,” the BAYC wrote. “On the water, a burgee isn't decoration. It's an identity. It tells people who you are. Your club. Your crew. Your colors flying from the stern so everyone knows who's coming through. We wanted this one to carry that same meaning. Not just a logo on fabric, but something you'd actually raise because it stands for something. Only two of these flags exist. One will be awarded through a raffle. The other will hang permanently in the Clubhouse. That's it. No restocks. No second run. Once they're gone, they become part of the Club's history.”

 

Tonight, every BAYC member can enter the club's Anchor Drop raffle for a chance to win the King Saladeen x BAYC burgee flag here: ttps://kingsaladeen.boredapeyachtclub.com
