Getting There and Checking In
By Yacht Week
Posted on 18th May 2018
Before you arrive:
Fill out crew list
We want your holiday to get off to the perfect start, so please ensure your crew list is completed 4 weeks prior to arrival. Simply log-in to your booking and add your crew following the steps given. Cabin bookers please only add the name of the friend you'll be sharing a cabin with. If you don't do this, you might not get your yacht in time.
Check-in online
Once you have completed your crew list, you can save a lot of time on site if you all check-in online. Each member of the crew must do this before arrival, which will make getting your yacht on time that much easier. Online check-in will open 4 months prior to departure.
Getting to Croatia
Flights
Split Airport (SPU) is the closest airport to all of our marinas. We recommend using a search engine to find the best flights:
- Expedia – www.expedia.com
- SkyScanner – www.skyscanner.com
Visas
We recommend using VisaHQ to find out if you require any visas to enter the country - www.visahq.co.uk
By Train/ Bus
It is possible to get to Croatia by train or bus from the rest of Europe. If travelling by train, it is recommended to take the train to Zagreb and then take the bus from Zagreb to Trogir (for Trogir and Baotic Marinas) or Split main bus station (for Split Marina).

By Car
Croatia is also very easy to get to by car from Europe.
All marinas have paid parking options.

Upon arrival:
Time to arrive/depart
Please be in contact with your skipper on Saturday to learn when your yacht is ready. There is not much to do in the marina, so we do not recommend coming until your skipper lets you know you can board. You should have access to your yacht between 4 and 6PM, though please be advised delays can occur as the yacht is being cleaned and prepared after the previous week’s charter. The Yacht Week is not responsible for any delays to your yacht but we will do our best to work with the charter companies to get you your yacht as early as possible.
You will get back to the marina on Friday afternoon (the exact time varies depending on weather conditions), when you will check out and leave the yacht.
Onsite registration for yacht bookers and skipper
Check-In: Please communicate with your skipper who will let you know when your yacht is ready so that you can come to your marina.
Once you are on board The Yacht Week team will come to your yacht to say hi and give you your official TYW wristband.
Lead Booker: Bring cash/credit card to pay the security deposit* and your passport.
* The security deposit is the maximum cost you can be charged if you damage your yacht or lose equipment. The amount can be found in your booking profile.
Onsite registration for cabin bookers
The skipper will go to the yachting company who is in charge of your yacht. Each cabin guest will need to contribute to the deposit. The exact amount will be communicated in your welcome email a couple of weeks prior to departure.
Luggage at check-in
Find a safe place to leave your luggage for the day. The Yacht Week staff do not take responsibility for any lost luggage or items.
Please keep away from the yachts
You will not be able to board your yacht until it has been declared ready by the charter company. Use the time to grab a beer or do your grocery shopping.
Grocery shopping
For those without a host, we recommend shopping close to the marina. Most islands will have supermarkets to stock up throughout the week as well. The team onsite will be able to direct you to the nearest supermarket.
If shopping for a whole week/crew feels overwhelming, use this shopping list as guidance, it will make sure you won't miss out on any essentials.
For those with a host, please be in contact with him/her for more information on provisioning.
