8 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU GO ON THE YACHT WEEK

Have you heard of The Yacht Week ? If not then let me introduce you to what could be the best week of your life. Back in 2014 I spent a week sailing around Greece on an all girls Yacht Week boat. We had an incredible time but there were some things I wish I would have known before the trip that could have made it even better. So here are eight things you should know before you go on The Yacht Week!

1) THE YACHT WEEK COULD BE THE BEST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE – JUST GO!

As you can see from the video above The Yacht Week looks like a lot of fun, and it is! This video is of The Yacht Week Greece trip I was on featuring some clips of our boat. I booked with one of my friends and prior to the tip I hadn’t met any of the other girls who were going to be on our sailboat. All the girls turned out to be awesome and we all made fast friends.

If you can’t get a group of friends together to book your own sailboat don’t let that stop you from going on The Yacht Week. Just find one friend to go with you and book a two-person cabin! You’ll make new friends, and have the time of your life, especially after reading all my tips so you’ll know what to expect.

2) THE YACHT WEEK IS MORE ABOUT PARTYING THAN SAILING

The Yacht Week is basically one big floating festival! If you want to have a serious week of peaceful sailing then The Yacht Week is probably not for you. You will sail from location to location but you’ll spend a lot more time partying than sailing on most of The Yacht Week routes. You need to be in the right frame of mind for this prior to the trip. So if you plan on going on The Yacht Week put your party hat on and be ready to have some fun!

3) CHOOSE YOUR YACHT WEEK ROUTE BASED ON PACE

You’ll likely look at The Yacht Week website and see a destination you want to go to and decide this is the route you want to take. I advise against this. In order to have the best time possible book a route based on the pace you want to go at.

Since I went on The Yacht Week they have added several new routes including an Italy route which they are marketing as slower paced for “sophisticated sailors and the food fanatics.” I have only been on the Greece route so I can’t vouch for this claim but if you want to do less partying, and more sailing and exploring, booking the Italy route seems like the way to go.

The Greece route I went on is labeled at a mid paced route. I love music and parties but I personally would have preferred more sailing and sight-seeing. Based on my experience, I would describe the mid paced Yacht Week routes (Greece, Montenegro and BVIs) as party routes and the fast paced routes (Croatia and Croatia Ultra) as ultra party routes.

4) SKIP SOME OF THE DAY PARTIES & EXPLORE

As I said above The Yacht Week, overall, is more about partying than anything else but you are visiting amazing places on all of their routes so I suggest skipping some of the parties and exploring your surroundings. On the Greece route there was a day party and a night party at each stop. When we docked at Hydra Island , my friend and I skipped the day party and explored the island which turned out to be one of my favorite days on the trip! There are plenty of parties so don’t worry about skipping some of them and opting to take in some sights and local culture instead.

5) SPLURGE ON A PREMIUM SAILBOAT

This is a gross topic but I have to bring it up because I would never want anyone to be in the same situation the girls on my boat were on. Our Yacht Week boat was a cheaper, economy sailboat and it was not equipped for us to be able to do anything besides pee in the toilets. That’s right, we did not have proper use of toilets on our boat for an entire week! Because of this my friend and I ended up renting several hotel rooms during Yacht Week (read Nikki Beach Porto Heli and Hotel Miranda Hydra Island ) just so we could have use of a toilet and shower.

So what is the moral of this story? Don’t go for the cheapest boat you can find. There are now four types of yachts you can book with The Yacht Week – Economy, Standard, Premium and Premium Plus. Spend the extra money to book a premium sailboat, and check that you’ll have unrestricted use of the toilet onboard before you book.

6) THE YACHT WEEK IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOU THINK

I budgeted around $75 a day for food, drinks and extras for our seven-day trip and quickly realized this was not going to be enough. Upon arrival we were told we needed to go shopping for costumes for the sailing competition and parties. Next, we had to put money in for the “Kitty Fund,” which is food and drinks for the boat for the week. We also had to pitch in money to tip our skipper and pay for gas for the boat.

At The Yacht Week parties you usually get one or two free drinks with your wristband, but after, that you have to pay for your drinks. Drinking every day can get expensive, especially if you want to splurge on bottle service. If you plan to drink and eat out and don’t want to worry about running out of money, you should plan to spend around $130 USD/day.

$150 Kitty $50 Costumes $525 ($75/Day Restaurants + Cocktails x 7 Days) $100 Gas/Tip for Skipper $100 Bottle Service _______ $925 TOTAL

7) YOUR SAILBOAT WILL GET DIRTY REALLY QUICKLY

We had an all-girls crew and our sailboat still got very dirty every day. In order to keep your boat from becoming filthy get everyone on your boat to agree from the start to all help clean. If everyone pitches in, it takes less than 20 minutes a day to keep your boat clean. Do your dishes right after you are done eating, and keep all your personal stuff in your own cabin. No one wants to spend a week in a tiny cramped, dirty space. This is the real Yacht Week v. your Instagram Yacht Week…

8) CHOOSE WHO YOU BOOK WITH WISELY

The last thing you want to do is go on what could be the week of your life with someone who can’t go with the flow, relax and enjoy an adventure. If you’re booking a two-person cabin with a friend make sure you are on the same page about what type of trip you both want to have.

If you can’t wait to get to The Yacht Week and party all week and your friend is looking for a peaceful, relaxing week of sailing and sightseeing it is not going to work. If your friend wants to do a luxury sailing trip but you want to book an economy sailboat to save money it is not going to work. This seems pretty obvious but I saw both of these scenarios happen and it is a buzz kill for everyone. Make sure you are on the same page with whoever you book The Yacht Week with, wether you are booking a two-person cabin or an entire sailboat.

Im about to book the Greece trip with a friend but now I am really concerned about the bathroom situation… can you maybe tell me a little bit more about that?

June 18, 2019 at 7:11 am

The boats have marine toilets; you can use them for #1 and #2, you just can’t flush anything else down them. So that means you have a baggie for toilet paper you throw out once or twice a day. It’s not ideal, but it’s not as bad as you might think, and you get used to it pretty quick. Plus, you’re on land a lot and can use regular toilets pretty much any time you’re not sailing.

Yacht Week: A Beginner’s Guide

Table of Contents

If you could sail, swim, and celebrate on repeat each day for a week until you’re happily exhausted, you’d do it, wouldn’t you? Well, boating has just the event for that: Yacht Week. Haven’t heard of it? Here’s a Yacht Week Beginner’s Guide :

Rent. Charter. Share— only at Boatsetter

First, what is Yacht Week?

If you’ve never heard of The Yacht Week , it’s called the original floating festival. You stay aboard a skippered boat with a bunch of your friends, cruising alongside other like-minded travelers.

A skippered boat is a boat with someone who is in command of it, more or less equal to a captain! This gives your crew opportunities to focus on the fun and potentially learn boating from an experienced guide.

Options exist for per- cabin bookings, too. Regardless, for seven days, you explore convoy-style, visiting picture-perfect destinations like Croatia, Turkey, Tahiti, and the British Virgin Islands. While you have the freedom to follow your own itinerary, you get your skipper’s first-hand knowledge of where to go and what to do.

You can dine onboard or ashore , soak up the sun on secluded beaches, and of course, swim. Come at nighttime, and join your fellow adventurers at organized parties on the beach and in clubs. Or, simply star gaze on deck before drifting off to sleep.

Yacht Week’s brief history

The Yacht Week got its start nearly two decades ago. Directors and founders Eric Biorklund and William Wenckel worked for the same company as charter-boat captains in Europe when inspiration struck. A two-week period in Greece was so much fun that they became fast friends with their guests. Figuring they could replicate the success, they reserved 10 yachts for traveling together for a subsequent summer in anticipation of attracting 100 guests. It worked. They then added another five yachts to that total, which also filled up. Guests had so much fun, in fact, that they requested Biorklund and Wenckel arrange more trips. Soon the duo had more cruisers than staterooms available. So, they turned it into a dedicated business, and The Yacht Week was born.

With another business partner onboard, Biorklund and Wenckel set their sights on growing The Yacht Week internationally. That, too, worked. The company went from booking 30 boats in 2006 to more than 1,300 within a decade.

Experiences you’ve never had before

( Image Source )

The Yacht Week is more than just skippered boats; the goal is to provide you with experiences you’ve never had before! For example, if you’re into techno, house music, and similar styles, the Croatia Ultra Route dates in July coincide with the Ultra Europe EDM festival. Pro Tip: Your yacht package includes VIP tickets.

While music is a big part of The Yacht Week—and cruising in general—other itineraries are more about the destinations and camaraderie.

From May through September, for instance, trips depart from Athens, Greece, and head to a number of islands. To ensure you get to know your fellow cruisers, a raft-up (anchoring your boat side by side) kicks off the first day.

Each day for the rest of the week, you can explore ancient sites and towns with guides on foot or drive an ATV through the countryside. Fun costume parties, White Parties (where you wear all white), and more occur each day, too.

To cap off the summer in style, book one of two available weeks (at presstime) in Turkey in September. You’ll enjoy the country’s famed Turquoise Coast, along its southwestern shore, starting out in Fethiye. When you go sightseeing, don’t miss the chance to partake in a Turkish bath. You’ll emerge with your skin feeling invigorated and an amazing story to share.

Pro Tip: Speaking of sharing, you’ll be sharing picture after picture on social media with your friends and family back home. The Yacht Week also has professional photographers and videographers on hand during each itinerary to ensure the best moments get captured.

Get a feel for boating

If you’re curious about how the boat operates, feel free to ask questions. Captains love sharing their knowledge and passion, so you can take a turn at the wheel as well. Plenty of cruisers become friends, too, with their fellow passengers, planning future cruises upon returning home. That’s what ultimately makes The Yacht Week a week to remember for a lifetime.

10 reasons to book The Yacht Week

Updated On 2nd February, 2024

Are you thinking about booking your The Yacht Week holiday very soon?

Have you read my ‘The Yacht Week Uncovered post’? If not, quickly, click here and read it .

10 reasons The Yacht Week should be the trip you book next year

Croatia is the original route for The Yacht Week, and the only one I’ve been on so far. The famous sailing holiday also runs in Greece, Montenegro, the BVIs and more destinations.

All The Yacht Week routes focus on different aspects, be it sailing, exploring, relaxing or partying. They run at different paces too, so you can decide what type of holiday you want.

Croatia is known to be one of the crazier routes and is definitely one of the biggest routes – particularly the Ultra route (combining a sailing holiday with Ultra festival) where the route accommodates over 100 boats!

So… providing you love people (interacting with them), a few drinks, sunsets, beautiful places and, being on water obviously…

Here’s why I think The Yacht Week is your next best move:

1. it will be the best thing you ever do.

Simple as. Honestly. Okay okay, I’ll get specific…

2. Release your social butterfly

Perhaps you have a job secluded behind a computer screen, maybe you work from home or you just don’t get to socialise as much as you’d like to. The Yacht Week guarantees the biggest injection of socialising you could ever want into your life.

3. Plenty of LOLS

Sailing in a group of up to 700 (and sometimes more) people means that there will be some sensible ones, some boundary pushers and as always… some absolute idiots. The Yacht Week guarantees banter and a serious workout for your tummy muscles.

Make sure you get the best balance of having plenty of fun, without being one of those absolute idiots!

4. The best venues

Not only are you having the absolute time of your life with the best people you’ll ever come across, but all in the surroundings of beautiful new corners of the world. The Yacht Week hires out only the most epic venues for the parties.

It really is such a shame that The Yacht Week is only a week.

It won’t seem long enough, but at least I can guarantee you won’t get bored.

5. You’ll realise what life is really about

It’s only when you burst the bubble you get so comfortable in at home, that you realise how much there is out there to experience.

The simple concept of friends, a few drinks, a positive attitude and a willingness to leave problems at home is all it takes to have an epic week.

It’s hard to not take that back home with you.

6. Discover but without moving a limb

Most boats will choose to hire a skipper (at an additional cost) to do, and organise the majority of the sailing aspect… after all you are on holiday.

With a skipper you don’t have to be up at a certain time to leave for the next island, and you don’t have to worry about falling asleep on the job.

Just lay back and enjoy…

7. Create special bonds & memories no one will understand

You know when ‘you had to be there to get it’?

When attempting to tell family and friends what The Yacht Week was like and what you did, there will be many moments where words will fail you.

You simply cannot put The Yacht Week into words.

8. 9th wonder of the world?

Whether you love it or hate it, I genuinely believe The Yacht Week is something everyone should experience.

There was a moment after 4 days of drinking and partying that my body hit exhaustion and my relationship with vodka hit the rocks. But, that was soon a distant memory and I would do it again 10 times over.

And, you don’t have to drink loads to enjoy it! Be yourself.

9. You’ll have new homes all over the world

Everyone on The Yacht Week is an equal.

Everyone simply wants to have fun and you’ll make as many best friends as you’re willing to have.

The exact same thing that led you to book The Yacht Week will be lying dormant in everyone you meet – a common ground through which you all connect.

Post Yacht Week, everyone will welcome you to stay at their homes in hope that you meet again. Before you get a chance to forget where they live… they will already be your Facebook friend sharing the photos.

10. Just let go

The Yacht Week really is the definition of letting go.

Leave stress, work, time-keeping and routine at home. Embrace the weather, the culture and the relaxed lifestyle.

If you don’t have the time to backpack but feel that you’d love to, The Yacht Week, for me, is everything I love about backpacking in one intense week.

Watch my holiday with The Yacht Week come to life here…

Yacht Week vs Sail Week: Which Is Better?

Yacht Week and Sail Week Croatia are both well-established travel companies offering various sailing routes around Croatia. This article is a side-by-side comparison of the two.

As a former yacht crew member, I get asked two questions pretty often:

1️⃣ First, is working on a superyacht really like what you see on Below Deck ? 2️⃣ What’s the difference between The Yacht Week and Sail Week Croatia?

The Yacht Week, the original company in this space, essentially invented this type of holiday. And Sail Week offers excellent value for money.

They both provide instagramable opportunities at every turn, and the best option for you will depend on your individual needs.

Let’s get started with what set’s these brands apart!

The Yacht Week is heavily focused on the party and music festival crowd . Their website offers a tasty selection of floating festivals and unique events by partnering with festival organisers and record labels.

If you are looking for remote island shenanigans soundtracked by some of the world’s best underground DJs, then The Yacht Week is a solid choice.

Sail Week is an ABTA member in the UK, and they offer financial protection on all their travel products. They strongly emphasise creating a memorable party atmosphere but with the added twist of offering chic excursions to sweeten the deal .

⚖️ Product Range Comparison

A few sailing routes can be compared directly, and they are in Croatia and Greece. However, for the sake of this article, I have only compared routes that are similar to each other.

The Yacht Week (TYW) Sailing Route Range

The Yacht Week features eight different sail routes for you to choose from . All of The Yacht Week routes are listed below:

Hot Creations
Original Route
Athens Route , Greece
Ultra Festival Route
Hideout Festival Route
Tahiti Route , Polynesia
BVI Route , Caribbean

All the routes last for 7 days (6 nights), keeping with the mantra ‘yacht week’. The majority of the routes are in Croatia, and they follow the same itinerary except for the Hideout Festival route.

The Hideout Festival route begins and ends near the seaside city of Zadar. In comparison, the other Croatian routes start and finish in the town of Split.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Yacht Week (@theyachtweek)

Sail Week Croatia Sailing Route Range

All these routes last an entire week, and there 6 to choose from depending on if you want to party flat out or find a more balanced vibe. They can be seen below:

Party Route
Ultra Route
Dubrovnik Route
Montenegro Route

The Party Route and Ultra Route are party-focused routes. And the balanced vibes are on the Dubrovnik, Athens and Montenegro routes.

Route Range Winner – The Yacht Week

📦 Package Comparison

Both brands have similar package options. However, the most significant difference is that Sail Week offers a Bring Your Own Booze (BYOB) option , which considerably impacts the price you pay for a given package.

The Yacht Week Packages

You can select from 4 different package types, namely:

Build your own

Monohull (43-46ft); Capacity 9 (4 cabins)

Air-conditioning

Monohull(47 – 60ft); Capacity 10(5 cabins)

Catamaran(40-45ft); Capacity 10(4 cabins)

The difference is the type of yacht your money gets you here. Classic packages offer monohull yachts in the 43-46ft range, and Luxury packages afford you access to catamarans in the 40-45ft range.

The luxury packages also include all the amenities available like air-conditioning, a host and half board meals. You can add a host and air-conditioning to the Build Your Own package.

Sail Week Croatia Packages

The options are below:

Deluxe Catamaran
Full Yacht (ideal for larger groups)

Monohull (43-50ft); Capacity 8-10 (4-5 cabins)

Food package

Monohull (43-50ft); Capacity 8-10 (4-5 cabins); Built 2016+

Catamaran(40-45ft); Capacity 8(4 cabins)

The standard packages get you a cabin on a monohull yacht in the 43-50ft range. Unfortunately, there is no option to add amenities like air-conditioning or a host to these packages.

The Deluxe Catamaran offers air-conditioning, a host, food package, and half-board included. The yacht size is in the 40-45ft range.

If you are a group, you can select between monohull or catamarans when using the Full Yacht Package with the option to add any of the Sail Week amenities.

Package Option Winner – Tie

🏝️ Route Comparison

*To compare apples to apples, this article will focus on similar routes between the two brands. First up is the flagship routes of each brand, namely; Original Route (TYW) vs the Party Route (SWC). Followed by both Athens Routes.

Original Route vs Party Route

Tyw – original route.

The direction of sailing/travel for the week is: Trogir > Bol > Natural Bay > Hvar > Vis > Trogir.

There are 10 weeks that this route runs, beginning on the last weekend of May and ending in mid-September.

Prices for peak summer (July) are considerably more than the end of the season (September), which is to be expected due to the demand.

You can select from 4 different package types: classic, premium, luxury, or BYO.

It’s hard to beat this route if you are looking for a party. The week lineup is simply jam-packed, and nobody does this better than The Yacht Week.

For your money, you’ll get an array of party shenanigans to experience:

Opening party in Trogir
Circle rafts floating festival
Dockside disco at Fort George
Buzz Boat party (a boat with DJ booth and Void Acoustics)
Carpe Diem party in Hvar
Tunnel raft party (like you see in the videos)
Headline DJs, including the like of Claptone and Gorgon City

Add in seaside yoga sessions, a castle hike in Hvar and even convertible VW Beetle exploring in Vis , and you have more than enough to keep you entertained for an entire week.

Yacht Week prides itself on being able to throw the best parties you’re likely to experience, and it makes them different in this regard from Sail Week Croatia.

SWC – Party Route

The direction of sailing/travel for the week is: Split > Supetar > Makarska > Bol > Vis > Vinogradisce Bay > Hvar > Split .

This route has 13 different weeks for you to choose between. For example, beginning the first week of June and ending the first week of September.

Each week, you can choose different packages depending on your budget or group size. The package options are:

The party atmosphere is also up there with the best, and you can expect everything from cave parties & beach parties to the infamous circle raft floating festival in the busiest weeks.

What makes Sail Week different from Yacht Week is the diversity of extra activities they offer. Everything from Sky Diving to Fly Boarding is an option for you, although not included in your package price.

Flagship Route Winner – The Yacht Week

Athens Route (TYW) vs Athens Route (SWC.)

The direction of sailing/travel for the week is: Athens > Poros > Porto Heli > Ermioni > Natural Bay > Hydra > Athens.

You can choose from 10 available weeks from the end of May until the first week of September. This route begins and ends in Athens, where you will get to visit the Acropolis overlooking the city below.

There is a good dose of partying thrown in with the infamous Yacht Week circle raft (think boutique floating festival), day parties at Cavo Bianco, and beach parties on sandy beaches, complete with cocktail-sipping DJs.

In addition, there are wellness elements to enjoy in the form of sunset hikes and water volleyball to keep the hangover at bay.

The emerald waters of the Greek islands are famed for their marine wildlife, so dolphin spotting is almost certainly something you can bank on.

The direction of sailing/travel for the week is: Athens > Agistri > Hydra > Ermioni > Spetses > Dokos > Poros > Athens.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SailWeek (@sailweek)

In total, there are 14 allotted weeks available, and they start in June and run through until the middle of September.

The focus of this route is more toward the activity side, with the option to do stand up paddle boarding, wine tasting, quad biking, hiking and even donkey riding if you desire.

There is nightlife and partying on the islands you visit, but these are not organised by Sail Week, unlike Yacht Week on this same route.

If you are looking for hidden gems in the Greek archipelago, then this route will delight you with secluded coves, charming villages and unique coastal pine forests to explore.

Atehns Route Winner – TYW

💸 Price Comparison

Okay, so here we are at the all-important price comparison of the two. For simplicity sake, I’ve compared apples to apples again and taken the first week of August (6th-13th) for the Original Route (TYW) and the Party Route (SWC) and staked them side-by-side.

To keep it as balanced as possible, I’ve further compared each of their package tiers, and prices are per person (p.p)

Classic – €1000 p.p
Premium – €1725 p.p
Luxury – €2360 p.p

For the build your own package, the yacht selected was a 50ft Catamaran for a group of 10 people – a total of €2919 p.p (host and skipper included).

Local payment of 600 Croatian Kuna (~€80) per person applies to all bookings.

Standard – €826 p.p

Winner – Sail Week

🏆 Overall Winner

This Yacht Week vs Sail Week review demonstrates that The Yacht Week is the superior party holiday week due to its strong following and 15-years of experience.

TYW features more unforgettable parties and world-class DJs than any of its competitors. But, those factors also make TYW significantly more expensive.

Both premium brands provide similar experiences, and SWC is an excellent choice for fun-seeking revellers on a stricter budget. Their mix of parties and chic extra activities offers fantastic value when considering their premium options.

You could argue that you get better value for your money with Sail Week from the fact it’s 7 days & nights, as opposed to Yacht Week’s 6 nights.

Both are aimed at those who love travel and music festivals. The Croatian music festival scene is well renowned in Europe. With the option of these floating festivals, it is now truly world-class.

Onboard Essentials

When embarking on The Yacht Week British Virgin Islands, it’s important to pack the essential items you’ll need for a comfortable and enjoyable experience onboard your yacht. Here’s a list of onboard essentials to consider:

Appropriate Clothing: Pack a mix of lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather, including swimwear, shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don’t forget to bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and any necessary protective gear like hats and sunglasses.
Toiletries: Remember to bring your personal hygiene essentials such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any other toiletries you may need. Consider bringing biodegradable products to minimize your impact on the environment.
Towels and Linens: While most yachts provide basic bedding and towels, it’s a good idea to bring your own beach towels or travel towels for excursions and beach visits.
Adequate Sun Protection: Protect yourself from the tropical sun by packing sunscreen with a high SPF rating, lip balm with SPF, and sun hats. Reapply sunscreen regularly, especially after swimming.
Seasickness Remedies: If you’re prone to seasickness, remember to pack remedies such as motion sickness medication, sea bands, ginger candies, or other remedies suggested by your healthcare professional.
Electronics and Chargers: Bring your camera or smartphone to capture the beautiful moments during your journey. Don’t forget to pack chargers and necessary adapters for your electronic devices.
Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important, so bring a reusable water bottle to ensure you have access to fresh water throughout the day. You can refill it from the yacht’s water tanks or from local sources.
Entertainment: Bring books, playing cards, or games to keep yourself entertained during downtime. You can also bring portable speakers to enjoy music onboard your yacht.
Snorkeling Gear: Consider bringing your own snorkeling mask, snorkel, and fins. While some yacht charters provide basic snorkeling gear, having your own ensures a better fit and a more comfortable experience.
First Aid Kit: Pack a small first aid kit with essentials such as band-aids, antiseptic ointment, pain relievers, seasickness medication, and any prescription medications you may require.
Waterproof Bag: Protect your valuables and electronic devices from water damage by bringing a waterproof bag or pouch. This will come in handy during beach trips or water activities.
Cash and Cards: It’s a good idea to have both cash and cards with you. While cards are accepted in some places, having cash on hand is useful for smaller establishments or locations with limited card acceptance.

Remember to pack light and keep in mind that storage space on a yacht is limited. Only bring what you truly need to ensure a comfortable and clutter-free experience. By packing these essential items, you’ll be prepared for an amazing and hassle-free Yacht Week British Virgin Islands adventure!

Practice responsible alcohol consumption: If you choose to consume alcohol during The Yacht Week, do so responsibly and in moderation. Avoid excessive drinking, especially when participating in water activities. Designate a responsible person to refrain from alcohol consumption and act as a sober supervisor.

Yacht Week BVI: INCREDIBLE!

The only word to describe Yacht Week is: INCREDIBLE! Amazing people, both staff and guests, top class organization, and the most beautiful party sites/venues! Everything was perfect and it’s really hard to describe the experience in words. 10/10 would do again and recommend to anyone who loves to have a great time and meet new people. Thank you Yacht Week for an unforgettable week!

Best Sailing Organization

I've done two trips with Yacht Week and am already looking forward to my next one! I was a lead booker for this trip, which was honestly a lot of work. There's a lot of coordinating and planning that needs to be done beforehand, but once we are on the boat, the host, skipper and event staff have everything covered. It was the perfect break from reality and such a carefree vacation. The boat, meals, events, music, EVERYTHING was incredible! I can not wait for my next trip!

One of the best weeks of my life

One of the best weeks of my life! I would highly recommend doing this trip. I was a solo traveler and loved everyone on my catamaran including the host and skipper. I will be back! Looking for my next booking already!

BEST WEEK EVER EVER

Honestly, the greatest holiday I’ve ever been on, ever. Was so unbelievably vibes to sales the sea around Greece with by best mates and all made possible by YW! Boat was class, and super clean and loads of room to chill, cook, drink, play games and have lols. Jumping off the boat and practicing diving is addictive! Skippers were so fun and professional, felt so safe and looked after. The shop is a mammoth task, so get ready for that, but completely worth (just remember to take water and a big list!! Overall 10/10 experience Can’t wait for next year xxxxx

Couldn't recommend Yacht Week more

Couldn't recommend Yacht Week more (so much that I'm writing a review and I never do this). Went to Greece and have thought about it every day since, thank so much to the best crew and the best country.

It was just the absolute best time

It was just the absolute best time. Amazing people, food, location, yacht, skippers and organisation. Everything was epic. I think I'm now addicted.

Great 1st yacht week

Host Ashley & Skipper Hellen were amazing! They made the trip really come together. Most everything was amazing really. Only thing I’d change is better vetting/informing of venues for new routes - the ordering, serving, and charging at the big group dinners was rocky at best, venues didn’t seem at all prepared, which made for confusion & stress for guests.

Turkey (Kebab Week)

As an irish man the mere thought of leaving the emerald isle behind for a week on the high seas had our lad more jittery than a cup of over-caffeinated espresso. However Yacht Week Turkey was by far worth the venture. Everyday got better and better and was by far the best week ever, but sadly as my girl Nelly Furtado says “ all good things come to an end. That is until Croatia 2024!

Date of experience : September 09, 2023

Had a great time in Greece

Had a great time in Greece! The staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable, the boats were very clean and well maintained, all of which ensured I had the best week. Can’t wait to go again next year

What a trip!

Greece Yatch Week was 10/10. Our skipper was an absolute babe and everyone had the best time. Such a special group holiday!

The Yacht Week was exactly what I…

The Yacht Week was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. It was the perfect combination of sightseeing and fun! I’ve met lifelong friends and made incredible connections with people from all over the world. Our skip and host were phenomenal and so knowledgeable that our group never had to worry about making plans. 10/10 would recommend

Really disappointed with TYW

Really disappointed with TYW. First of all, your advertising is not reality. Essentially we are camping on a yacht, your advertisements make it look like a much nicer experience. All of your advertisements include the catamarans, not the monohauls. Some of the parties were really not good, the 70s one was in a tiny bar.. how could everyone possibly fit in there? The communication at the beginning of the trip was not good; your website said to meet at a certain beach club in Athens. But our skipper told us to go somewhere else.. please fix your website to reflect these changes.

Date of experience : June 18, 2022

Reply from Yacht Week

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We work hard to ensure our website is up to date and current to reflect the product. However, we are sorry to hear that it did not live up to expectations, if you’d like to speak further please contact our Customer Service team at [email protected]

Skipper amazing

Our skipper, Louise Landin was amazing and made the experience as good as possible. She was helpful in all areas and catered to everything the group needed. Otherwise the experience was good. However the toilets on the yacht didn’t work well and we were charged from the charter company for toilets not working that was no fault of ours.

Date of experience : August 05, 2023

Absolutely Incredible

Absolutely Incredible. A once in a lifetime experience. Especially with the help of Ella. Will definitely be booking again. Didn't think it was possible to have this much fun in one week. The only problem is now every other holiday is going to feel very boring in comparison

Date of experience : July 15, 2023

From start to finish an unforgettable…

From start to finish an unforgettable experience. The staff, the views, the parties, the balance, the food, the adventure - I can't fault a single thing about the yacht week and the staff who run it make it that much better! Won't hesitate to go back.

Date of experience : May 27, 2023

Amazing week away !

Unbelievable week spent island hopping Croatia with a group of friends! The staff made this such a memorable week. Amazing parties pre-planned they really think of everything. Would recommend this to anyone. I will be returning next year!

Date of experience : July 01, 2023

The best week of my life

The best week of my life! I went on Yacht Week for the Ultra Festival week in July & it was everything I thought it’d be & more. The festival itself was amazing, if you’re a dance music fan you’ll love it. The music, the stages, the lighting, the Yacht Week VIP area, it was all a vibe! Shout out to Yacht Week & the staff as well, the organisation was on another level. Everything throughout the week was organised for you so you could relax & focus on having a good time. All transfers from the marinas to the festival for example were all organised so you just had to turn up to the pick up point & let the night commence! The whole week as a whole was magical - you’ll be seeing me again Yacht Week!

Date of experience : July 08, 2023

Disgraceful company purely interested in your money

Yacht week told us 6 weeks before the event (Tahiti) that they would give us a decision as to whether the event is going ahead on a specific date (Monday 06th Sep). On Weds 08th Sep they have said the event MIGHT go ahead and they would give us a decision just over 2 weeks before the event. Further, they said so long as they can sail the event will go ahead despite no island parties happening due to hospitals being overrun with COVID patients. The event has already been postponed once and this company is purely self interested in being able to hang on to people's money. Been on several yacht weeks and would never go again. GIVE US REFUNDS FOR THIS COMPLETE DISASTER!!!!!

Date of experience : September 08, 2021

Hi George, Sorry that the communication has not been as clear as we would have liked. We have been waiting for the Tahiti government to set out some clear guidelines for us and unfortunately they have not managed to give us a longer term plan which is what we were hoping for. We still want to be able to give you an amazing experience and run this event, hence us waiting for guidance. Any guests who feel uncertain or worried about the trip have been given the option to move to different dates with no fees. Plus, if we are unable to run the event we will be offering refunds to all guests. We are really sorry, please get in touch with our team and they can help you.
