2026 Summer Party Themes

For our 20th year, we’re bringing some iconic Yacht Week themes that define summer on the water. The kind of nights people plan outfits for weeks in advance. The kind that end with sunrise swims and a camera roll full of moments you’ll never delete.

This year, two signature themes will run across Croatia, Greece, and Sicily - each hosted at some of the biggest nights of the week.

Golden Era

Created to celebrate 20 years of Yacht Week. This theme will run across all weeks for 2026.

Golden Era is a tribute to the summers, stories, and people that made Yacht Week what it is today. Elevated, timeless, and designed to feel like a true anniversary celebration, this is the night to dress like you’re part of something iconic.

Think gold, bronze, champagne, and sunset-inspired tones. Sharp tailoring, silky textures, metallic details, vintage jewellery, statement dresses, open shirts - refined but effortless.

This is Yacht Week at 20.

Riviera Chic

Back by popular demand for our 20th year and making an appearance at our Original routes in Croatia, Greece and Sicily.

Riviera Chic is a Yacht Week classic - effortless glamour inspired by old-school Mediterranean summers. Linen shirts, statement dresses, oversized sunglasses, open collars, silk scarves, sun-faded whites, and that “just stepped off a vintage speedboat” energy.

It’s timeless for a reason. The dress code is simple: look like the most interesting person on the Riviera.

Sicily — Banacali, Panarea

Beyond The Break

Landing on our Rhythm and Waves route in Croatia, Beyond The Break is inspired by late-night hip hop, R&B and underground beach party energy that carries from the first drink into sunrise.

Think oversized jerseys, mesh, low-rise fits, metallics, sunglasses after dark, headphones around your neck and flash-lit dancefloors by the water. It’s smooth but chaotic, nostalgic but current — the kind of night where the music never really stops and neither does anyone else.

Less polished Riviera glamour, more rhythm, movement and heat. Effortless, confident and slightly unhinged in the best way.

The dress code? Look like you’re about to end up in someone’s camera roll at 5am.

Glitterball

Coming to our Discophoria route in Greece, Glitterball is a full dive into disco-fuelled excess, late-night glamour and dancefloor energy that feels pulled from another era.

Think sequins, metallics, sheer fabrics, sharp tailoring, glowing skin, tiny sunglasses, vintage disco references and the kind of outfits made for spinning under mirrored lights at 2am. It’s sweaty, euphoric and unapologetically dramatic, somewhere between an underground disco club and a Mediterranean summer fever dream.

Less polished luxury, more movement, sparkle and chaos. The kind of night where everyone looks incredible and nobody wants to leave the dancefloor.
