Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads is a four-compact disc (or cassette) compilation box set of Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band's greatest hits, rarities, and previously unreleased songs. Released in 1992, the collection reached quadruple platinum.

Boats is a CD of sailor and sailing songs, true to Buffett's heart. Previously unreleased songs include "Love and Luck." "Take it Back," written for the US America's Cup yachting team, was previously available only as a single B-side. "Love and Luck" would later appear on the live album, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The album is 66 minutes, 22 seconds long.

Beaches is a CD of Buffett's days in Key West, the Gulf Coast, and the Caribbean. Of the 18 beach songs, notable songs are "Margaritaville," also known as the Buffett national anthem, and "Cheeseburger In Paradise". Previously unreleased songs include "Money Back Guarantee" and "Christmas in the Caribbean." Stars on the Water is a cover of the Rodney Crowell song. The album is 63 minutes, 16 seconds long.

Bars is a CD of bars, songs written in bars, and plain party songs. Beginning with Fins, the album also includes "Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw)" and "Pencil Thin Mustache." Previously unreleased songs include "Elvis Imitators," an attempt at an Elvis Presley song, written by Steve Goodman and released by Buffett under the band name Freddie and the Fishsticks, and "Domino College." "Fins" and "Cuban Crime Of Passion" were cowritten with Tom Corcoran.
