EDMLI on Why Yacht Week's Ultra Europe Route Isn't All Back-to-Back Parties
By Yacht Week
Posted on 20th August 2026
Regattas, raft parties, and actual time to eat lunch by the sea
EDMLI covered the Yacht Week x Ultra Europe collaboration with a slightly different angle than most: writer Tanay Kanhere's framing is less "more festival" and more "an alternative to the standard festival vacation," one built with as much downtime as nightlife.
What EDMLI Covered
The piece runs through the same shape as the rest of this year's Ultra Europe coverage: VIP access to the first two days of Ultra Europe at Park Mladeži Stadium on 10 and 11 July, with Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix and Dom Dolla on the bill, before the fleet sails on to Hvar, Bol and Vis with an estimated 500-plus guests.
Where it earns its own angle is in what it chooses to emphasise afterwards: regattas and raft parties, yes, but also lunch by the sea, swimming stops and time in old towns, with Carpe Diem Beach and Fort George kept for the evenings rather than treated as the whole point. Prices start from £887 per person, with the sailing route running 11 to 18 July as part of Yacht Week's wider 2026 season across Greece, Sicily and French Polynesia.
