THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME

The ultimate group adventure to the world's first floating festival. Live on a yacht, explore Croatia and tick a new thing off your bucket list every day.

Trips start from $610 per person

“You’ve never traveled like this”

This is a proper summer. You, your mates & the open water. Oh and about 400 other people, a bunch more yachts & raves on remote islands. If there’s one thing you should do before you die, it’s hug your mother. If there are two things you do before you die, go on Yacht Week.

and it all starts in

We first set sail for Croatia 15 years ago. This is where it all began and we’ve been back every year since. With its sparkling oceans, iconic sites & ancient walled cities, Croatia is the iconic, original destination of Yacht Week. An absolute essential stop for any Eurotrip.

FOR THE UNINITIATED

This is not fyre festival.

We’ve been running this for 15 years. We’ve hosted over 100 000 people on the water... And we don’t even have a Netflix documentary.

You don't need to own a yacht.

Choose from our trusty fleet & a Yacht is yours for the week.  It’s basically like AirBnb – if an AirBnb could float.  And travel between islands. And take you to hidden bays. Ok it’s literally nothing like an AirBnb.

YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SAIL.

Every Yacht has its own Skipper.  They’ll be with you all week, fully trained captains of the high seas. Carefully steering you through the best week of your life.

Ratings and Reviews

App screen size.

Hi. App seems good so far but the screen size could be abit smaller. It doesn’t fit completely on my screen and is too big so the buttons are hard to click. Thank you

Thank god for this app!

This was a lifesaver for activity and restaurant recommendations, as well as event start times etc. - I got a push notification straight to my phone so I was always up to speed with what’s happening. Don’t go on TYW without!

App is useless

The app won’t even let me log in, it keeps telling me I have entered the wrong password, despite using the same password to log in on the website! Utterly useless!

Top-tier MBA students are shelling out thousands to network and party at 'Yacht Week' in the Mediterranean

• MBA students are flocking to Yacht Week each summer to party and hobnob with potential future employers and colleagues. 
• The annual event has grown significantly since it started in 2007, and now hosts hundreds of attendees. 
• The trip doesn't come cheap, at upwards of $1,000 for the yacht experience itself, not including airfare, food, or drinks. 

Among the lavish cocktail parties and industry soirees, another luxurious networking experience for elite MBA students is quickly emerging as the go-to event of the year: Yacht Week. 

Students hailing from the country's top business schools are flocking to Croatia each summer to party and hobnob with potential future employers and colleagues while sailing across the Adriatic Sea, the Wall Street Journal reported .

Yacht Week was created in 2006 by the Swedish company Day 8 AB, and has continued to grow every year since, according to its website. Today it hosts more than 500 MBA students — typically hailing from top-tier US programs at schools like Harvard, Duke, Dartmouth, and Northwestern — every summer for week-long trips.

While its traditional route begins in Trogir and culminates in Split, students also can select more expensive routes that sail around the coasts of Greece, Turkey, or French Polynesia, among others. The original Croatian route costs between $566 and nearly $1,000 per person, depending on the week, and airfare, food, and drinks are not included. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, hosting these business students has expanded into big business — from 2007 to 2022, the number of yachts has grown from 95 total to just under 1,000 in 2022. 

"The girlfriends I went with on the trip, maybe we'll become co-founders one day," Hannah Bae, a student at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business told WSJ. "I know we'll be successful no matter what."

Yacht Week typically involves heavy partying, with the boats often docking in a circle to create an area where attendees can sip cocktails and lounge on floaties while cavorting with students on other boats. The average age of a Yacht Week-goer is between 21 and 40 years old, WSJ reported.

A post shared by MIKE (@mikelv_)

A 2015 review of Yacht Week in GQ described the event and its parties as "raucous," and its attendees as largely affluent. 

"Nearly everyone is beautiful, single, uninhibited, and bottle-service wealthy," GQ's Stuart McGurk wrote. "Several have been on reality-TV shows. It is the only holiday you can go on, I discover, that includes two staff photographers taking pictures of everything you, the hard-partying customer, get up to at all times.

Whether the week-long party actually translates to jobs for these students remains uncertain, but regardless, it's clear the attendees are having a good time and at the very least believe in the possibility of making meaningful connections. 

"Someone from Yacht Week is going to be a really important part of my life one day," Jaron Wright, a Harvard MBA student told WSJ. "I have a feeling that's going to happen."

Miami Yacht Owner Denied Insurance Payout for Fire Loss

By Olivia Alafriz

The owner of a yacht that burned in a fire will have to eat the loss because his insurance policy was based on an inaccurate valuation of the boat and thus void, a federal judge ruled.

Diego LePage owned the boat via Musashi AZ LLC, of which he was the sole member, and the boat was the sole asset. Accelerant Specialty Insurance Co. issued a marine insurance policy to LePage based on information provided by the previous insurer, which described the purchasing price as $2 million.

LePage actually bought the yacht for $1,575,000, making it overinsured without Accelerant’s knowledge and ...
