It's exactly like you see in the pictures... and more. Not every day do you get to dance on a floatie, in front of a floating DJ booth, in the middle of a giant circle raft, in the middle of the sea. Get ready for the party of your life.

    ​On your first day, your skipper will ask to collect a “kitty fund” from you and your crew. This will go towards:

  • Yacht fuel, Water, Shore power

  • Water taxis

These costs vary depending on whether you are travelling on a Monohull or Catamaran. See here to estimate the cost using our calculator. If any money remains at the end of the trip, your skipper will return it to you.

Please note: If you have a cabin booking, each cabin yacht accommodates 6-8 guests. To calculate your share of the additional costs, divide the cost of any extra fees for the yacht by the number of people in your group. You will find out how many yachtmates you will have onboard 2 weeks before you travel.

What is the average age, and is there an age restriction?

The average age of our guests is 30; however, we have a range of attendees varying from 20 to the late 30s and beyond.

Please note that the minimum age to join our events is 20 (or at least 20 years old in the year of travel).

We are confident that, regardless of your age, you will have a memorable time on the water!

What travel documents do I need?

We cannot advise you on which documents you will need, as this depends on your nationality and the country you live in.

The VisaHQ website can tell you exactly what you need. Remember to include the countries that you might travel through to get to your final destination as well.

You will need your passport details to check-in online, but we do not require your physical passport to board the yacht.

If you are travelling through the Schengen area and are using your ID card, this is fine as long as you have entered your passport details into your booking profile before departure.

What time is check-in on the Croatia Routes?


Before check-in day, please communicate with your skipper through our Yacht Week app. On check-in day, your skipper will communicate with you when your yacht will be ready to board, this will be from 4 p.m. onwards on Saturday so no need to arrive at the marina any earlier than this. Your skipper will give you clear instructions on the day for where to meet them and the exact time.

You must have checked in online prior to arrival, or this will cause issues on the day, and you may be denied boarding.

We recommend coordinating with your crew around doing the supermarket shop in time for your yacht being ready.

Our events team will come around to the yachts to check your documents, give you your wristband, and answer any questions you have for the week. Your security deposit must be paid directly to the charter company at their office located in the marina.

Head to the Key Info section on your booking profile to read the full details of your trip.

What time is check-out on the Croatia Routes?

Your Yacht Week officially ends once you return to the marina on Friday afternoon around 3-4 p.m. (the exact time varies depending on weather conditions), and you will then have to check out and leave the yacht before 8 a.m. on Saturday, the latest.

Most guests will choose to leave the yacht on that afternoon, but you are welcome to stay on board overnight if it suits your travel plans best.

Please note that this could vary depending on weather conditions! We recommend booking your flight home for Friday, later in the evening, or Saturday to avoid any stress and delays.

*Please note that skippers' and hosts' responsibilities end Friday afternoon, and they won't be around after that time.
