Yacht Week Reviews 

There was so many problems from day one. It was so disorganised we didn’t get a schedule or our marina until about two weeks before even though they said we’ll get it 6 weeks before.

Then when we got there we paid for the extra day of ultra only to go to the stadium to pick up the ticket just to have none of the yacht week people there? after we waited and asked around all day in 40 degree heat. They told us to go away and come back the next day, when the festival was THAT night. I had to message and call around all day to get these tickets.

then when we got on our yacht we had some of the rudest yacht mates. We understand that wasn’t yacht weeks fault at first, but when we went to the festival and one of the guys on our yacht touched us up we brought it up with the skipper, and the management (almost everyone) and they said “we’ll see what we can do” then we never heard from anyone again and we were stuck at sea on a yacht where we were very uncomfortable on to the knowledge of the whole yacht week team.

Most of the yacht week team/skippers will be drunk the whole week which is fine but when our boat started smelling of poo bc of what we believe was plumbing issues It took over two days for any attempt to fix it. We had to go out and search for our skipper to say our yacht smelt of poo and we couldn’t sleep in there. It was disgusting and ruined the vibe when we couldn’t sleep properly for days after drinking and partying (don’t expect to sleep either way in those hot box rooms aha)

Even the kitty was more than what they advertised and you have to pay for your skippers food, alcohol and tip on top of all the expenses. There’s a dingy that doesn’t get used only for skippers to party on, so we all have to pay out of pocket water taxi costs too. It’s overpriced and I couldn’t believe we paid over 3 grand for the worst week of my life. I will only give props to our skipper who tried so hard to try and salvage our trip when we were visibly upset and sick bc of the conditions we were in. Yacht week was a literal s**t show, I personally would just save my money and go on a contiki instead

Our captain Caleb and host Rachel showed us an absolutely incredible time. The vibe was through the roof from start to finish! Loved having fun activities and parties planned for us everyday so we could just take it all in and enjoy the hell out of the week.

Best Week Ever! Honestly went into this expecting it to be an insane fun week unlike anything else... and was still blown away. Everybody was great, and our skipper Jake was fantastic! Everyone on our boat came in separate pairs and we all still had a fantastic time. Every employee we had any interaction with were super friendly (and medical staff were beyond helpful when needed lol). Would definitely spring for a host but otherwise the yacht week is something everyone should experience! Island hopping in Croatia with dozens of boats of people from all over... when else will you do that!

Hands down the best trip of our lives and worth every penny! Our hostess Daryl Surtees and skipper Ashton Hyde are the best in the game and made our week absolutely exceptional! Highly suggest adding a host, booking a catamaran, and bottle service everywhere. Also be prepared for the extra fees that they clearly lay out on the website for you. It’s so nice to just pay them to do all the planning and you just show up to party. Everyone should experience yacht week at least once in their lifetime, I promise you won’t regret it!

The Yacht Week was such a unique and great experience with amazing people, a lot of exploring and partying! Brilliant is all I can say.
Can't wait to come back next year!!

I've been twice and it's out of this world. It's only Burning Man that can beat it in terms of feeling like you are completely removed from the normal world and stepped into a world of only fun and play. You jump around between islands and party in otherworldly places.

An unforgettable experience - would recommend.

The yacht week is a stellar experience, and just SO worth it!

BEST WEEK EVER.
100% recommend, met some of the most amazing people. Every day was well planned and the boat was perfect!!

Honestly the coolest experience I’ve been to, nice and friendly people. Just good vibes overall!!

There are only a few trips you take in a lifetime that you will truly care about forever. This is one of them. Not only for one of the best weeks you've ever had, but for the impact on every single week after.

Chloe and Ella took the best care of us during my first yacht week so much so that I had to go again a few weeks later to experience it all again. Everything was pre planned so all I had to do was turn up and well… TURN UP. I couldn’t recommend it and them anymore than I am right now because I never expected to meet so many amazing people on the other boats as well as the yacht week crew and skippers. The parties were insane, the food was just as good if not better because of the never ending hangovers 😭 honestly 100/10 experience !!!

Brilliant week such good vibes 24/7 the hosts were so accommodating and was never ever bored !! Loved every second xx

This was a trip of a lifetime. Scenery, logistics, food, professionalism, and PARTIES were all 10/10. I would do another trip with TYW in a heartbeat.

My crew really had an amazing time. Our skipper and host was knowledgeable, fun, and all around attentive to our wants/needs. We even won the regatta for our week! Only downsides was the VIP sections at the events, Padre Bar was a bit dull to start off the week and Fort George had way too many VIP tables as they in the middle of the dance floor. All that said it was a blast of a great time with great views and great food.

Yacht week was everything I imagined and more! We set sail on a monohull with a skipper and host that were both absolutely incredible and people that I now consider to be friends no matter where in the world we are. Between the sailing, the parties, and the amazing people, it turned out to be one of the best weeks of my life and I was so sad when it ended. I always felt taken care of, and safe and everyone had our best interests at heart. I recommend everyone to experience Yacht Week at least once, if not multiple times!

Yacht Week 7/1/23
Croatia - Original Route
Week 27
**!!Regatta Winner!!**

First and foremost - if you haven't been on Yacht Week, I would DEFINITELY highly recommend. I fell in LOVE with Croatia!!!

1. Definitely book the most luxurious yacht/catamaran you can (Highly recommend the Lagoon line), with A/C, with up to your 10 best friends, and a HOST. Weather was perfect - it was nice and hot. Just note that water is finite on the yachts and that there are bathrooms / shower stalls you can use for free when you dock.

Expect to spend money. It's worth it. I promise. (Go to Ultra if you can!)

Before I go into detail, I would like to shout out my skipper (Graeme L) and my host (Phoebe H). They were both knowledgable, friendly, responsible, communicative, hospitable and they know how to have FUN. They both made sure that we felt safe, comfortable, always made sure we were never hungry and really took care of our crew of 10.

Day 1: Check in Baotic Marina.
We went grocery shopping with our host. We ended up getting 6-8 carts full of food, snacks, drinks and to be honest we used it all up! It's great that you don't have to think about figuring what to cook and when to cook. We all submitted any dietary restrictions and our host already made a meal plan for us for the week :) It's SO nice to wake up to the Adriatic sea and have your breakfast (and lunch and some dinners) made!

TYW Opening Party - here you will meet everyone that will be on your route - so you will see these people more often than you think :)

Day 2:
Bol - There are also watersports activities on the island as well!

Club 585 - I loved this party! You get to ride on a train to and from the club. The venue space is really nice and it's amazing at night.

Day 3: Starigrad Bay
Regatta DAY! We were dressed up "Jungle Cruise"
This is intense - if you want to win -- you have to work for it! Definitely put your best effort forward in your costumes and also *BE ENERGETIC* You have to feel the energy and be memorable ;) (shout out to my skipper and host, which was also their first Regatta win!)

TYW Famous Tunnel Raft - we all lined up and swam here for the rest of the evening. We do not dock on land this evening, so definitely expect to be swimming and socializing with other yachts this evening. It was a great way to meet other people that are also on the same route as you.

Day 4 + 5: Hvar
Highly recommend asking your skipper/host for activity ideas. My crew did some breathtaking Private ATV Tour riding on this island (about 4.5 hours). The sights were divine, exquisite, and BREATHTAKING.

Highly recommend to check out the gorgeous views and sunset of Hula Hula bar if you get a chance!

Carpe Diem Beach Club - Siren's Call Party: You have to dress up for this!! Wear your shimmering accessories, iridescent sequins and flowy fabrics.

Day 6: Vis
My crew planned separately a Private 3 Cave Tour (4.5 hours) and visited Blue Cave, Green Cave, Monk Seal Cave, Stiniva Bay

Fort George - I would definitely recommend eating dinner here because afterwards it becomes the Lost Fortress of Atlantis party! The sunset was beautiful and the best part of all is that they announced the Regatta Winners this evening. AND MY BOAT WON THE REGATTA RACE!!!! Free first round of drinks and a private table to dance the night away!

Day 7: Back to the Marina!!

There were also days where you can do yoga, high intensity training, running club and more! The great thing also about The Yacht Week is that you do get enough downtime to explore the island while also being able to participate in The Yacht Week parties and activities! Overall - I met some of the most awesome people on this route - it's so great to make friends in different walks of life all united on The Yacht Week!

yacht week was probably the best week of my life. i wonder if anything will ever top this experience. everything was perfect. the staff was extremely helpful and kept up safe and happy the entire time. we loved them and still talk to them today. our host stijn made us beautiful meals, we would have starved without you. our skipper blake was a total rock star sailing our ship. the event team with georgia, jorja and lauren kept the spirits up and kept everyone safe and organized. love them to death. the people we met on the other boats are friends for life. the location was beautiful. we sailed croatia so clean and gorgeous. i wish i was there right now. the cost was relatively cheap for the great experience we enjoyed. worth every penny. can’t wait to do it all again next year. DC4L.

1st time on yacht week for the ultra Croatia route. My gf and I had an absolutely great time. The rest of the crew on our boat was awesome and we all shared some really fun nights and experiences together. I can’t say enough about our skipper and host, Liam and Rose. Our skipper was experienced and fun, very knowledgeable and doing what he could to make our days the absolute best. Rose blew us all away with her food everyday, and took so much time to help us plan, get where we needed to go, and was always so much fun and cared about us having a great time. We lucked out with those two and I would absolutely request them again if we went for round 2. Definitely want to make that happen!

Unbelievable Week!

I am still in absolute awe of what an incredible week I had with The Yacht Week, in Croatia. I was fortunate to be paired with the best group of people, which made the experience so much more special. The events by TYW were well organised and always ensured a great time!

The impossible task of managing 40 plus yachts, all with approximately 10 guests on board who are drinking and wanting to party, was managed with ease by the impressive staff!

My always smiling skipper, Gergio and amazing host, Josh honestly made the week phenomenal! Any request was never too much to ask! They always brought a positive energy to the group and made sure we always felt safe and cared for!

I highly recommend The Yacht Week for anyone wanting to meet new people, party at incredible locations and enjoy life on a yacht surrounded by beautiful scenery!
