Covid-19 Policy

These policies have been introduced specifically in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are continuing to monitor and respond to the ongoing circumstances surrounding Covid-19 and local government regulations and therefore we may update our policy accordingly in the future when TYW events take place.

IMPORTANT - COVID Entry Requirements:

Please ensure you are prepared with the right documentation to attend the event. In most cases, the requirement to attend TYW matches the entry requirements for Croatia and Greece.

Below are the documents that will be accepted at TYW check-in.

• Proof of a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hrs
• Proof of a negative Rapid Antigen test within 72 hrs:
  • Please ensure that if your test is older than 72 hrs that you obtain another negative test before coming to TYW check-in.
  • Please note antigen tests are not accepted for entry into Greece.
• Proof of a COVID Vaccine
• Proof that you have had COVID within the last 6 months:
  • Certified letter from your Doctor
  • Please note proof of having COVID is not accepted as a means of entry into Greece.

Please note you may also be required to undergo a COVID Rapid Antigen Test at check-in as an additional precaution. This test will be free of charge.

• If you test positive for COVID-19 at check-in you will be required to take a PCR test. This will be at your own expense at a recommended test centre.
• If the PCR test is positive you will not be permitted to board the yacht and will need to self isolate in accordance with the current rules of the destination country.

Please note that the requirement to self-isolate is a legal requirement in Croatia and Greece. Self-isolation could lead to missed flights and additional accommodation expenses. The TYW will not cover the cost of any of these additional expenses.

What You Can Do to Help:

• Complete all required documentation online before your arrival through your booking profile and the Day8 App.
• While on the event, we request that any guest showing symptoms report to the onsite medic. The medic will do a scanned temperature check and alert the local authorities if COVID-19 symptoms are shown. The local authorities will then take action.
• If you do have symptoms or are recovering from COVID-19 we ask you not to attend the week.
• Guests who display COVID-19 symptoms during the event will not be permitted to continue on their yacht and will be tested and quarantined by the local authorities.
