Ever gone out in a military town? Sure, the organizers TRY to regulate an even male-to-female ratio by charging exorbitant fees if your group skews male. And their promotional material might say they manage that strictly, but money talks and people pay. Any ladies you meet will just be a bonus. It is truly amazing that in you can be out in the middle of the Adriatic Sea and still be perfectly connected to all of the interwebs.
As we headed into the trip, the ladies in our crew were a bit anxious about safety at night and in the clubs a la Taken. However, the majority of the nights, our skipper and host escorted our crew to the water taxis — and handled the payment from the aforementioned kitty — as well as to the parties, which were private, Yacht Week-only events at rented-out clubs.
The hosts and staff on site were welcoming and fun and really good with names , and after the first night or two, you walk into the party and immediately recognize a handful of faces. There were fellow partygoers at nearly every water taxi and plenty of TYW crew there to keep a mindful eye on the inebriated masses. As with any club, keep an eye on your drink, but still feel free to let loose. Your boat, as far as we know, is not haunted. Neither does living in close quarters with people, sharing drinks, water bottles, and spit with strangers from other countries.
Your flight back from Split will be like a cross between a Sunday flight from Vegas and a fifth-grade classroom in December. Accept the illness as the last price you pay for glory. Given the close quarters during Yacht Week, you might think this is a literal statement, but you know what we mean here. Easy to say, harder to do. Remember how you stocked your last fraternity formal? It might seem excessive, but given the sun, booze, and general mayhem of Yacht Week, plan to drink a gallon of water a day.
We had a grocery cart and a half full of water bottles for our six-person crew and ran out on day six. Now is not the time to try and minimize your plastic footprint.
Head to BrandsMart or look online for a 12V adapter and have two or three on board. Otherwise, take frequent, refreshing dips in the Adriatic or consider swapping nights sleeping above deck with your roommate. As we said, the inside of the boat can get really muggy and downright uncomfortable.
Below deck, especially before bed, it can be too steamy to handle — and the bathrooms become a claustrophobic sauna. So getting ready for one of six very dressy nights is a sweaty struggle. Do yourself a solid and bring a portable standing mirror, so you can get ready above deck with a breeze and preferably also a drink.
OK, maybe not the whole planet. It can take two hours minimum from the time you walk in to the time you clear immigration and get to your gate, so plan accordingly. Want to kill time at the bar?
Yes, complaining about the airport in Split after Yacht Week is the essence of first-world problems, but nobody ever went on Yacht Week to be humble.

If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. Once your route is selected you can move on to the next stage of the process, selecting the week of the year you want to set sail. Most of the summer weeks of the year seemed to be geared towards European destinations- Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, and Italy. Winter events happen on the Caribbean and Asian route. Without crew mates, the yacht week is no fun and this has been taken into consideration.
It is usually advised that you rent a yacht with an equal number of guys and girls. Part of your crew will include a skipper and a hostess who cooks and cleans up after you.
The number of people in a boat should range anywhere between three and twelve people. Once you have selected your crew mates the next step is for you to select the yacht you will sail on. There are four yacht options to pick from at the yacht week; Economy , Standard , Premium and Premium plus. The choice of yacht you select depends on how deep your pockets are. The Yacht week is not cheap.
