The Ultimate Guide to Croatia Yacht Week Adventures
Published 08 November 2024
You would be forgiven for thinking Croatia Yacht Week is simply a week-long sailing itinerary, but this floating extravaganza is a whole lot more than that. The first and arguably best-known festival on water brings floating DJ booths, exclusive yacht parties and raft nights together in one exciting location across 25 weeks of summer. Think of the ultimate yacht regatta paired with an Ibiza-style beach party and golden hour celebrations for every sunset, where red, pink, orange and gold hues stream across the warm late afternoon sky.
And then there’s the 'Buzz Boat’ — a purpose-built floating DJ booth powered by Void Acoustics with big names on board playing melodic sets long into the night. Previous headline acts that have rocked the boat include Gorgon City, Mark Knight, Weiss, Illyus and Barrientos, Monki and Mele. For those who crave a little rest amid all that sailing and partying, the chance to slow down, breathe and take in the Adriatic's scenic beauty is delivered in the form of seaside yoga sessions, wellness sanctuaries and pop-up pampering pods hosted on the beach.
What dates are yacht week in Croatia?
The Croatia Yacht Week Adventures consist of 25 separate one-week events that can be booked as a group, by the cabin or as a solo traveller. Stretching from 31 May to 15 August, each week is meticulously programmed, with the celebrations always getting started with the Trogir opening party hosted at Padre Bar.
What happens at Yacht Week in Croatia?
More like what doesn’t happen at Yacht Week? Picture lunch meets and dazzling swims in some of Croatia’s most beautiful natural bays, along with a spot of cliff jumping for the brave and snorkelling for the curious. Dotted along the sail route are myriad hidden caves, coves and beaches that make for the perfect picnic-themed sail-stop.
The giant circle raft that sees around 20 yachts link together to create a circular platform in the middle of the sea — nicknamed the ‘eye of the sea’ — is one of the event’s key highlights. It’s a hub of sociability, where old friends and new acquaintances united by a love of yachting dance together in the sun on everyone’s foredeck.
One of the highlights of the trip is the Carpe Diem party. Situated on the island of Hvar — dubbed the St Tropez of Croatia — Carpe Diem is a themed get together that toasts the Croatian summer. Meanwhile, the Fort George Dinner epitomises all that Croatia has to offer as a yachting destination. Watch the sun go down in the company of friends with good drinks, good food and the historic setting of a 200-year-old fort as a backdrop. True adrenaline junkies stay late into the night for unforgettable evening of dancing to top tunes.
Choose your Croatia charter dates
The best time to book a charter to Croatia is in the summer shoulder months of April, May, September and October, when the weather is clement, the water is warm, and the crowds are out of sight. With nothing to come between you and the endless blue of the Adriatic, there’s nothing better than a Dalmatian island-hopping yacht charter.
Find the right superyacht for you
When booking a yacht charter in Croatia, it’s important to pick a boat that best suits your needs. Whether looking to rent the entire vessel or booking as a solo traveller, the type of yacht, crew, amount of space onboard and available toys will play a big part in guaranteeing your fun and satisfaction. Croatia Yacht Week gives guests the choice of booking a monohull or catamaran, classic (no air conditioning) or premium (a larger size range). For those with a bit more budget, there’s also the custom option, which allows you to hand-pick the yacht of your choice. All options come with an expert skipper to take the helm.
