Three Destinations. Three Very Different Yacht Weeks

Finally decided to join Yacht Week? You’ve made the right decision. Can’t decide which Yacht Week destination to join? That’s a good problem to have. 

Because, while Yacht Week across all our destinations share the same format (yachts, crews, flotilla, and parties), the vibe, scenery, stops, and energy are drastically different. You are likely to match with one or two, more than the other options. 

So, let’s check out Yacht Week’s top three destinations to find the best one for you.

The OG and Iconic Croatia Route

Yacht Week Croatia Route is the big one. It’s a social sailing marathon where days are spent touring the sea and some of its islands, and nights are all about parties.

If you want the OG experience, our Croatia route is what started it all.

The Vibe: Social Central

Raft-ups and parties. You’ll have endless chances to connect with the entire fleet, not just your yacht. During raft-ups, dive into the ocean, hop between boats, and catch the DJ’s live set from the water. When the sun dips, we head to the night’s party. Rinse. Repeat. 

The Scenery & Sailing: The Adriatic Dream

Sailing the Adriatic Sea, from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Trogir to Fort George on the historic island of Vis, is smooth and easy. More than 1,000 islands parallel the mainland and act as a natural barrier. Limestone cliffs and pebble beaches with dramatic rock formations are in the backdrop. Coastal towns have white-stone walls that contrast with the ocean’s blue. 

The Stops: Your 7-Day Dalmatian Journey

Here is how your week unfolds:

Trogir Riviera: Your journey begins in a UNESCO World Heritage town. After checking into your yacht, head to the Opening Party at Padre Bar. Great food, new friends, and your first taste of the Adriatic sea breeze.

Milna: We sail to the island of Brač to explore the charming alleyways of Milna, with sailing practice and open-sea swims in between. Then we hit Olife Beach Club for a sunset pool party.

Bol: Regatta Day so don your wildest outfits as we sail toward Bol. The night ends at 585, an iconic open-air club where house and techno legends play under the stars.

Natural Bay: This isn't just a stop. It’s an event: the Tunnel Raft Party. A floating dance floor in the middle of the ocean. This is the quintessential Yacht Week moment.

Hvar: Hvar is known as the "St. Tropez of Croatia." We’ll explore island caves in the morning then head to Carpe Diem Beach for the Riviera Radiance party, one of our biggest nights of the summer.

Vis: This is the historic island home of Fort George, a 200-year-old fortress. Explore its military tunnels and vineyards on scooters. Then, make your way to Fort George for a glorious Mediterranean sunset. Dinner is followed by the Moonlight Masquerade.

What Sets Yacht Week Croatia Apart

Yacht Week in Croatia is all about big energy. Our spirited flotillas along an expansive blue sea surrounded by more than 1,000 islands. You visit world-famous beach clubs and prestigious historical sites. 

If you want the most social, most legendary version of the flotilla life, this one’s for you.

Yacht Week Greece: A Sun-Drenched Odyssey

If Croatia is high-energy Yacht Week, Greece is its cool and effortless match. Explore the Saronic Gulf, hidden beach clubs, and picturesque coastal communities. It’s the same Yacht Week formula, but more intimate.

It’s for the traveler who wants to balance high-end parties with genuine exploration and a more personal feel.

The Vibe: Laid Back But Still Knows How to Party

Groups are typically smaller for Yacht Week Greece. You share days that are a mix of sea and island explorations, and day parties (mostly). Walk through charming towns in the afternoon and enjoy good food and wine. Relax as you soak in the Greek hospitality. 

Scenery & Sailing: Ancient Shores and Deep Blues

The Saronic Gulf offers an amazing view of turquoise waters, ancient ruins, and white lime-washed villages. The islands are tucked together closely so the bays experience less swells, making them perfect for raft-ups and floating parties. 

The Stops: Your 7-Day Greek Odyssey

We’ve curated a route that blends iconic Greek culture with our signature Yacht Week flair:

Athens Riviera: Kick things off at Cape Sol on the Athens Riviera. Toast to the best week of your life as the sun sets over the Saronic.

Natural Bay: We head to a secluded bay for our Tunnel Raft Party. The quiet cove transforms into the world’s most exclusive floating club.

Poros: Grab an ATV and cruise through the cobbled streets, low hills, and idyllic beaches of Poros. Check out the Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi, an 18th-century monastery, and the Temple of Poseidon.

Hydra: Regatta Day and time to show off your navigation skills. Then, we head to Hydra, an iconic island where no cars are allowed. Old-world Greek charm, perfect for savoring local wine and fresh seafood.

Ermioni: It’s brunch within a Circle Raft. After fueling up, we hit Cavo Bianco for the Riviera Radiance Beach Party. Pumping music, refreshing drinks, and non-stop dancing.

Poros: We head back to Poros for a day of one-on-one sailing lessons and swim stops. The week culminates with the Moonlight Masquerade under the stars.

What Sets Yacht Week Greece Apart

The biggest difference? The vibe. Greece feels like a personal experience. It’s the only route where you’ll experience the Circle Raft Brunch and the unique, car-free charm of Hydra. The parties here feel more like an "if you know, you know" rather than the massive fortress raves of the Adriatic. 

If you want a week that feels equal parts luxury vacation and unforgettable party, Greece is calling your name.

Sicily: The Raw, Volcanic Adventure

Sicily is the rugged but sophisticated newcomer. This is your route if you want something raw and culturally immersive.

Set against the backdrop of the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago rising out of the Tyrrhenian Sea, you get an intense mix of nature and life’s finer things. There are no massive crowds; just you and the elements.

The Vibe: Raw & Adventure-Led

Sicily is where you’ll find yourself hiking an active volcano one afternoon and sipping an Aperol Spritz on a celebrity-frequented rooftop the next. The energy is exciting and grounded in authentic Italian culture.

The Scenery & Sailing: Dramatic & Untamed

The island of Stromboli astonishes. You hear its continuous small eruptions and see its smoking volcanic peak as we navigate the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. You’ll have several opportunities to explore black sand beaches and quaint seaside towns.

The Stops: Your 7-Day Sicilian Expedition

The Sicily itinerary is one of contrast, from secluded raft evenings to world-famous rooftop parties:

Portorosa: At the Portorosa Marina, check into your yacht as we kick things off with an Opening Party and an Aperol Spritz in hand.

Lipari Coast: We sail to a secluded bay accessible only by boat. Here, we raft up under the shadow of distant volcanic peaks. It is truly one of the most serene settings on Earth.

Lipari Town: The next morning, we dock at the largest of the Aeolian Islands. Explore the dramatic cliffs while the sun’s out. By night, we head to the Turmalin Club for our Moonlight Masquerade.

Stromboli: After a swim stop at the Grotta dell’amore (Cave of Love), we tackle the Stromboli Volcano hike for a view you’ll never forget.

Salina: Salina is famous for its Malvasia wine and capers, ample treats after the day’s high-energy Regatta. As dusk comes, we head to Portobello Salina, a renowned open-air spot for dancing and island nightlife.

Panarea: The smallest and most glamorous island, Panarea is a celebrity favorite. We do it right with sunset drinks followed by the Riviera Radiance at the world-famous Raya Rooftop. 

What Sets Yacht Week Sicily Apart

Sicily is the only route where nature takes the lead. Parties are set in more intimate, unique locations like cliffside clubs and volcanic islands. It is the only destination where you can hike an active volcano and party at an iconic venue like Raya. 

If you want a week that feels like a raw adventure wrapped in Italian luxury, Sicily is your match.
