Yacht Week Croatia Trips

Yacht Week Croatia Route

Yacht Week Croatia takes you on a breathtakingly-beautiful route through the Adriatic to Croatia’s hottest destinations. The red and black routes hit the same spots, just on different days. All excursions begin at various marinas in the Split vicinity, depending on which boat you choose. The exact routes aren’t finalized until a few weeks prior to setting sail, but here are the amazing places you’ll be exploring:

Vis – This island of Vis was formally Tito’s military headquarters and was not open to foreigners until 1994. This is also Croatia’s most distant and untouched island, adding to its elusive charm. The island boasts historical architecture and unforgettable panoramic views of the Adriatic. Yacht Week will host one of the most thrilling parties of the week in the bohemian gardens of Fort George set within the ancient walls overlooking the sea.

Komiz - Most yachts will anchor up in this quaint fishing village and take a taxi boat ride to town to an epic open-air beach club party.

Regatta Day - Live out all your skipper fantasies on Friday Regatta Day and show off your sailing and party skills! Two regatta winners are selected based on sailing time and boat atmosphere. Winners will be announced at the Regatta Party in Split.

Split - Split is one of Croatia’s most vibrant cities. You will be absolutely mesmerized by the beauty as you explore its effervescent waterfront. Make sure to put aside some time to check out the Diocletian’s Palace in Split Old Town while you’re here!

Hvar - This is THE place to be seen in Croatia. Stroll along the serene marble waterfront and check out the countless bars, restaurants, and boutiques. Yacht Week hosts two happening events here at Carpe Diem and Hula-Hula beach bar. Don’t miss either!

Natural Bay - Tie up next to your fellow yachters and enjoy the afternoon frolicking in the sea and partying atop your neighbors’ yachts.

Yacht Week: Everything You Need to Know

Booking

Bookings usually open up on December 1st each year, and you have the option of booking a cabin or an entire yacht.
If you don’t want to go through the hassle of getting an entire crew together, booking a cabin is your best option. You can book a cabin that accommodates two on a shared yacht with your future best friends. The yacht is equipped with a skipper, hostess, food, wristbands for events, and loads of good times. Prices start at around €1000 per person for the entire week. Tickets for the Yacht Week/Ultra Europe Combo start at around €1500 per person. Check out various cabin options here.
If you want to organize a trip with a group of friends, consider charting your own yacht! Boats typically have between 3 and 6 cabins and accommodate between 6 and 12 passengers. You have the option of booking with or without a skipper and hostess—this will depend on your yachting and cooking skills. Prices start at €440 per person for the week with a skipper and hostess and at €316 if you plan to venture out on your own. Browse all the boat options here.
We also wholeheartedly recommend kicking-off or ending your trip to coincide with the Ultra Europe electronic festival.

Hostesses & Skippers

Booking a host is a great option if you’re really looking to relax, worry-free. Hosts are trained sea chefs who prepare delectable fresh meals and keep things tidy. They take care of all the grocery shopping, cook three meals a day, serve drinks with dinner, and keep the cabin in tip-top shape. Note that you are responsible for cleaning your own bedroom.
Yacht Week skippers are true professionals and will take care of all the sailing responsibilities for you. And if you’re interesting in learning yourself, they will show you the ropes. They may even take you to a few Croatian hidden gems.

Ultra Europe

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to pair your magical Yacht Week adventure with Split’s Ultra Europe electronic festival, which runs in July. Ultra Europe brings you thumping beats from top EDM and house artists, beach parties galore, and astounding visuals. Previous years showcased David Guetta, Afrojack, Alesso, and many more stellar acts.
