Yacht Week Arvostelua 608

Rhythm and Waves was incredible!
A week under the sun, in Croatia listening to Soca, Afrobeats, HipHop and RnB! What more could you want!?

The venues were stunning and DJs curated the ultimate vibe. 10/10 trip

A big shout out to our Skipper Colin and our host Pheobe for making our week unforgettable <3

My friends and I are looking to go to Greece with Yacht Week next...

I had an amazing time on yacht week. Our skipper Colin and our host Vere were the BEST. Even though it rained, the yacht week crew was very quick to finding alternative activities for everyone. We were able to take a traditional cooking class and learned Greek recipes that I still use to this day. I wouldn’t have traded this experience for anything.

The ocean was paradisiac, landscapes were unique, food was amaying, but connecting with so many like-minded people from all over the world made it magical.

This is the fourth time I have booked a trip with TheYachtWeek and I was surprised again this time. At the beginning of the trip they say "it will be the best trip of your life" and it is. Without exaggerating... It's the best trip of your life every time! Be it the professionalism of the team, the breathtaking locations, the spectacular parties... everything, but really everything is more than perfect. All the guests, from all over the world, make this week a perfect experience! This year we were in Turkey and it brought me closer to the country and the people than I could have ever experienced with a private trip. I will definitely book a fifth and eighth trip with TYW as well. Many thanks to the team, especially the skippers and hostesses.

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.

My group's expectations for The Yacht Week were sky high and somehow the experience managed to exceed all expectations!

First and foremost, shoutout to our amazing crew: Olivia Paine (host) and Conor Bourke (skipper). We were absolutely blown away by the meal spreads Olivia put together for us everyday. Our group had some demanding requests: 2 vegetarians, 1 opposite pescatarian (eats meat but not fish), 1 ARFID, & the remaining who love meat/fish. She did an excellent job catering to all our specifications and preparing dishes that could be customized to each person's preferences by deconstructing the meat/fish/vegetarian protein on the side. I was one of the vegetarians and was quite nervous about getting enough protein while on vacation and had brought protein bars/powder just in case. But, I didn't even need to supplement as she found creative ways to incorporate vegetarian protein options into every meal.
Conor was the perfect mix of professional and fun to have as a skipper! He made us feel safe & secure on route while also contributing to the fun atmosphere we wished to have. He took us to some incredible swim spots and gave us awesome advice on places to check out while at ports. We rented our boat in addition to another boat with 10 more of our friends: Conor ensured we were always linked up or docked next to them at every destination which meant we could all hangout together. Our group was incredibly rowdy and had some fairly late nights...and they supported our shenanigans at every step of the way. Thank you both for never shutting down the parties and contributing to the amazing energy of the week!

The yacht we rented was called "Full Moon" and we were pleasantly surprised at the amenities it provided. We had move than enough storage for 8 girls + 2 guys worth of belongings. It was clutch that the USB charging ports could charge our phones at any time. The week we were there was a heat wave and we were SO grateful for the A/C in our rooms. I was able to sleep in peacefully with the A/C cranking most days. The beds were also surprisingly comfortable and had ample room for myself and my 6 foot roommate.

Last but not least...I cannot sing enough praise for the parties The Yacht Week hosted. I kept thinking the venues could not get any better, and then they would! Each venue was gorgeous and had spectacular views of the area. I especially enjoyed the parties that were exclusive to The Yacht Week attendees as it was so awesome getting to know the other boats throughout the week. Everyone agreed our favorite day was the tunnel raft day. Floating in the middle of the ocean and dancing to incredible DJs was such a unique experience none of us are soon to forget!

From start to finish we had an amazing time. I cannot stop telling everyone I know about how epic of an adventure we all had. If you are considering The Yacht Week, just do it! You will not regret it!

Don’t miss this great event, this was our second time. We did Sardinia 2021 and Greece this year. So much fun and meeting and making new friends. Our Skipper and host was the best. #Marygraceyacht

This was easily one of the absolute best weeks of my life! I didnt know what to expect before going on this trip, as I didnt really know anyone who had done it before and a friend of mine suggested we try it out. I'm infinitely grateful that we did! Our Skipper, Bozo, was hands down the best skipper in the fleet. So knowledgeable and skilled! Ashley, our host, was equally amazing. She made healthy and vastly different meals every day for each meal we had on the boat. I didn't know you could even make sushi in a tiny kitchen while a boat was rocking! The two of them made sure me and my fellow guests had the time of our lives and weren't bothered by logistics or planning. We just showed up and got right to the partying! I've made some lifelong friends throughout the course of the week and have memories I will treasure forever. If anyone were to ask me if they should try this out I would say definitely, if you're someone who enjoys meeting new people in new environments and can go with the flow a bit. 10 out of 10!

Yacht week was insane. Best week of my life! The best parties and the best people

I did a The Yacht Week Croatia Trip, September 2023.
It was easily the best time I've ever had.
Our skipper Bozo and our Hostess Ashley took phenomenal care of us the entire time, and really added something special to the group dynamic.
Bozo was super skilled at navigating the catamaran, docking, and taking us out in town whenever we were on land for excursions. Ashley made the most amazing, healthy breakfasts and lunches, and was always on time. Food was way above and beyond what I was expecting, seriously.
The yacht itself was wonderful, clean, with plenty of outdoor space to lounge around and soak up the sun. The Yacht Week special parties/clubs/events, were phenomenal. Favorite has to be 'Raft Day', where all the boats link up and form the 'tunnel', and they brought the DJ boat right in the middle. Best daytime boat party I've ever seen in my life. All the other activities, parties, a wine tasting at a winery, unstructured time in the towns and ports, etc. all top notch. So fun.
Yacht Week staff/coordinators, etc were all great, always around, and always placed at points of potential friction like water taxi stands, etc. Everyone always made sure we ended up where we were supposed to.
Split, Hvar, Vis, Bol, all amazing locations where we had plenty of time to walk the islands, explore the towns, then grab a wonderful meal out in town together as a boat crew, and then make our way to the party for that evening.
Yacht Week Central Office: I had to call the actual TYW office to talk about and iron out some details with the official mainland TYW staff, prior to my trip. They were super nice on the phone, very helpful, answered all my questions, and helped me make sure everything was correct before I left on the trip. So nice to have an actual person to call, who can pull up your booking and help walk you through things, maybe make changes, etc etc.
Can't recommend The Yacht Week program enough, it was a total eye-opener for me, I had no idea stuff like this existed. 10/10, I will be doing another yacht week again- excited to check out the other routes!
Thanks again to Bozo, Ashely, and my fellow crewmates/guests, we all felt like a little family, and had came away with some lifelong friendships. Thanks- see you on the water!

We had the best time at Yacht Week Croatia!
Our skipper Aoife and our host Casey were phenomenal! Extremely attentive, caring and nice! They were always making sure we had everything we need and ensured everything was running smooth.
The itinerary for the week was so eventful and packed! We got to do a bit of everything. It was definitely worth it! I’d recommend it to anyone, whether you’re travelling alone, as a pair or as a group. You get to meet so many amazing people and create memories for a lifetime!

I thought people were exaggerating when they told me this would be the best week of my life. I'll admit that I didn't think that I would feel that way and I was worried it would be too "fratty" or too much partying for my age. However, I was proven wrong.. YW was an incredible experience for me and the 9 friends I convinced to come along with me. It was the perfect balance of exploring, partying, dancing, eating good food, etc.. You really could make whatever you wanted of it. Some of our crew liked to party more than others who wanted to explore more and that was totally fine. Our host, Jorja, and skipper, Charis, were truly incredible. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip and were just such pleasant company and people we would genuinely connect with and hangout with in the "real world". (If you guys are reading this we miss you!) Our on deck meals were incredible, some of us ate better on YW then we do in real life. Our time on the water was seamless and easy going with no issues whatsoever, and we loved stopping to jump in the water every day. Croatia was beautiful and the food is amazing, definitely check out the recommendations in the day 8 app for activities and try to book those a bit ahead of time, two of the activities we wanted to do were unavailable but we did others and they all sounded so fun. You'll spend more time on land then you think (in the best ways - we went to 4 islands!!) Also, it sounds like we may have gotten lucky, but the AC on our cat was blasting the entire time so I suggest going for a newer model boat. Tunnel raft/regatta was by far the most fun but all of the events put on were awesome and the staff was great. Certainly looking forward to trying another route!

I had the best time of my life during the yachtweek in Croatia last week of August 2023.
We went into the trip with a group of friends and had a lot of fun, great weather, lots of good vibes good music and the people from the yacht week were just amazing !

Big shout out to our host Lizzie, our captain Jessie and Charlotte from the event staff !

I would recommend this week to any people looking to have fun, party and enjoy the beautiful weather and Ocean in Croatia.

So sad the week ended, I just want to go back there and keep partying and living my best life !

My experience was great thanks to the great organization behind the Yacht week. All is perfectly planned so you don’t need to worry at all. The fact that they have their own events help you meet all the people coming in your trip. Also I believe YW attracts the best people to their crews as I have met incredible individuals. I rate the week as 10/10 hands down.

I was feeling pretty low in life before this trip but i have to say this experience has really brought back my faith in people. My skipper Ali was not just amazing at his job and showed us the best week of all of our lives but i feel like ive also found a friend for life! He helped our group gel together, he put our safety above everything and he even went above and beyond to help me the day before we were even due to meet (out of his work hours) when i found out my hotel didnt exist and i was stranded! The whole yacht week team went above and beyond to ensure we all had an amazing time despite last minute changes because of weather. Ive travelled the world for over 2 years now and without a doubt i can say this was the best week of my life! Other skippers were happy to help me and my group and everyone was super friendly and attentive. If you think you want to do yacht week DO IT. No questions even needed. Im very hopeful il be able to do next years as well.

The Yacht week is a hardcore weeklong party that can make or break depending on your skippers, crew, host, and boat. (Pay for the cat and the host and the AC -- you will regret it if you don't). Our boat was a double-hulled catamaran and was awesome! The AC can be a little unreliable -- but it is better than nothing. Sarah is the best host I could have asked for. She prepared amazing food and I ate better than I normally do on land. She also took us to one super-special unnamed Croatian place. It was amazing. Riley our skipper was super fun as well. We did a cabin booking and lucked out with a very down-for-anything crew. The parties are legit. You will leave bruised and hungover and with scattered memories and it's all worth it.

Yacht week was absolutely amazing and the best way to see Croatia in our opinion. We tacked on a few days in Split and Trojir but overall couldn’t be more grateful we saw so many islands. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a curated trip and we are planning to do it again in multiple places such as Greece or Tahiti.

I had heard great things about yacht week from friends and socials but this experience was better than I ever could have expected.

Everything went as smooth as possible from beginning to end and I wanted to personally give a shoutout to our skip Kelsie.

She was professional whilst also really easy going, lots of fun and we all felt safe on board. She was able to bring our crew closer together and we all ended up becoming really great mates. Very grateful for the experience on yacht week and our skipper and host who had great recommendations and really made the most of each day and the experience overall.

I was still travelling when the review via Day 8 was sent to me so didn't complete it at the time and I think it expired. Although wanted to specifically make sure I took the time post trip to write this because not often does a business and or staff member (skipper) leave such a positive impression.

If I could please ask if this is passed onto the appropriate people.

Look forward to doing yacht week again in the years to come !

We were a group of four, decade-long friends who decided to strike The Yacht Week off our bucket list, and I'm happy to say that it was an incredible experience! The Croatian Adriatic islands are stunning, the parties were a ton of fun, we met a ton of interesting people from all walks of life, and loved all the exploring we go to do!

What really made our experience special though were Zoe and Orlagh, our host and skipper. I’ve never had a better time gaining 10lbs than with Zoe’s cooking. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was a culinary symphony of deliciousness, from blueberry pancakes, to pulled pork sliders, to glass noodle beef stir fry, to a million other things. She baked us banana bread. From scratch. On a f****** boat. Beyond her incredible culinary abilities, Zoe was a paragon detail-oriented helpfulness. Orlagh was no slouch either – she kept the boat in excellent condition, knew all the amazing swimming spots, kept us well ahead of schedule (and the other boats), and helped us out of a crappy situation or two. On a personal note, both girls were delightfully lighthearted, supportive, accommodating and all-around fun. Thank you Zoe and Orlagh – you made this a true bucket list experience for all of us

Honestly one of the best weeks I’ve ever had so far from start to end. Loved our Skipper Geisha he was fantastic such a sweetheart. The events were also good literally non stop partying. 10/10 would do it all over again .
