EBTG - Didn’t know I was looking for love

Not sure if it’s part of that genre, but...

Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson is one of my favorites that are underrated.

Ace - How Long

A young Paul Carrack on vocals.

Atlanta Rhythm Section - Spooky

Barry Bailey's lead guitar tone with his 50's Les Paul Goldtop is incredible.

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat

Steely Dan - Home At Last

I like Matthew Sweet’s cover of Magnet & Steel, too.

Cheesy greatness.

Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island

He was an alumnus of Spirit. I'm not really sure I know what "Yacht Rock" is. I'd assume it's "soft rock" or "mellow gold" but, judging by some of the submissions here, I'm really not sure. Does this count?

Spirit - Nature's Way

Spirit bass player Mark Andes went on to join Firefall. Surely this qualifies.

Firefall - You Are The Woman

Firefall - Headed For A Fall

Firefall is very underrated. This is my personal favorite.

Level 42's "Something About You" and the Johnny Hates Jazz tune "Shattered Dreams" are examples of 1980s-era soft rock perfection.
