Croatia Yacht Week: Four Ways to Sail the Same Coast

Thinking of joining Yacht Week in Croatia, but unsure if it fits your travel style? There are actually four ways to sail. Let’s get into it to see which one best suits your vibe.

Croatia Original Route

This is the OG route and the most popular. It's where the social meets the sea.

The Vibe & Pace

Sail, swim, raft-ups, and parties. Rinse and repeat. The OG Croatia trip is a high-energy social marathon. You will have several opportunities to spend time with those in your flotilla (not just your yacht). 

How Days VS Nights Feel

You’ll start mornings on your yacht. Recover from last night. Breakfast, swim stops, and sailing help. When the sun’s out, it’s all about the sea with some socialising in between via raft-ups. In the afternoons, it’s a visit to coastal towns. Then dinner and party all night. 

Typical Stops & Activities

You’ll visit some of the most iconic islands in the Dalmatian region. Your start-off point, Trogir, is a UNESCO World Heritage town. You’ll make your way to Milna, Bol, and then Hvar, the “St. Tropez of Croatia.” On your last full day out at sea, you’ll head to the historic island of Vis, and dine and party at the 200-year-old fortress Fort George.

Who It’s Best Suited For

You want the full Yacht Week chaos (in the best way).

The Ultra Route

Yacht Week Ultra is in partnership with Ultra Europe for its annual EDM, house, and techno music fest in Split. You get 2-day VIP access, along with your yacht accommodations. We set out to sea on the third day for your Yacht Week Croatia experience.

The Vibe & Pace

Ultra Europe is a massive gathering of EDM, house, and techno fans. Expect up to 150,000 attendees. Our Ultra Route doesn’t miss a beat. At sea, the energy remains high and music-driven. Mix the music with salt water and you get the best of both worlds.

How Days VS Nights Feel

Your first two days are spent exploring interesting locales in Split. Then come nighttime, you’re back at Park Mladeži for Ultra Europe. Third day onward, we’re out at sea. We have a world-class DJ on board so the techno beats continue. Nights are dinner and parties underneath the stars.

Typical Stops & Activities

We kick off and stay at Split for 2 days for the festival. Then we sail off to visit the islands of Hvar, Bol, and Vis. You’ll party at the exclusive Carpe Diem Beach and Club 585. At Vis, cruise on scooters during the day. But make sure to head to Fort George for dinner and the epic final party of your 7-day Yacht Week Ultra vacation.

Who It’s Best Suited For

You plan your summer around festival lineups.

The Balance Route

Yacht Week Balance is in partnership with Balance, Croatia musicfest. It is Ultra’s low-key indie cousin, featuring the music and artists of Balance Music (Australia). 

The Vibe & Pace

This is an intimate musicfest experience, with attendees limited to a few thousand people at the secluded The Garden Resort in Tisno. Instead of a concrete stadium, you dance barefoot in the sand. After two nights at the festival, you level up the nature vibe by exploring the sea and shores of Mala Arta, Kornati National Park, and Šibenik.

Typical Stops & Activities

Enjoy the sea by day, exploring Jezera Marina, and then head to The Garden in Tisno for Balance Musicfest. After the festival, we sail off to Mala Arta, Kornati National Park, and Šibenik. Experience our Tunnel Raft Party while afloat near the islet of Mala Arta. Then, it’s the Kornati National Park for its 89 islands/islets and stark “lunar” landscapes. On your final full day at sea, we visit Šibenik for dinner and our closing party,

Who It’s Best Suited For

For indie electronic music fans interested in less-trodden Croatia island-hopping stops.

The Rhythm & Waves Route

This is a Hip Hop, Reggaeton, Soca, Dancehall, Moombah, and Afrobeats dancefest, curated by Yacht Week.

The Vibe & Pace

This is Yacht Week’s original Croatia route set to half-step grooves and eclectic sounds of hip-hop. It is arguably the most high-energy, considering its soundtrack. Expect the same sea and social explorations, parties, and raft-ups but with specially curated music.

How Days VS Nights Feel

It’s like the Croatia Original Route but set to grooves that jive with the crests and troughs of the ocean's waves. Tyla’s Water revs you up for the day ahead. The day’s activities flow so you look forward to raft-ups and nighttime parties. That’s when we turn the volume up. 

Typical Stops & Activities

The kickoff party is at Trogir’s Padre Bar. This is followed with explorations of Milna, Bol, Hvar, and finally Vis. At Milna, you enjoy the “Ibiza meets Croatia” atmosphere of Olife Beach Club. Over at Bol, you end the night partying under the stars at Club 585. Then, it’s the Riviera Radiance party for your night out at Hvar. We end the week with a full day, enjoying the landscape and fortress, dinner, and all-night party at the island Vis.

Who It’s Best Suited For

You love the sea and soulful beats.
