How Much Does Yacht Week Really Cost?

The cost of yacht week varies substantially depending on your choices of all the different options. So ask yourself these important questions.

how-much-does-yacht-week-really-cost

  • Are you getting a boat with AC? 
  • Are you employing a host? 
  • How many people are you splitting the cost with? 
  • Do you want a private cabin? 

Overall, yacht week can cost anything between €3510 -€4700+ ($3700- $5000+) . The upper limit refers to choosing all the luxury options like AC, a private cabin, and having fewer people on your boat to split the cost between.

We will look at a breakdown of prices for yacht week, including the different tiers and what they include and don’t include. In addition, the extra costs involved over and above the yacht package price. 

I’ll also answer whether you really do need AC for yacht week (is it worth the extra cash?) and how many people you need to split the cost of a yacht.

So let’s get into this!

To give you an idea of the pricing,  the yacht itself costs between €650 and €2480  ($685-$2620), depending on the boat you choose and the dates you decide to go.

And whether you split the cost of an entire yacht or book as a cabin duo on someone else’s boat. These costs are gleaned from using the Original Route in Croatia as an example. They also vary according to different routes. 

There are three ‘tiers’ that you can choose from classic, premium and luxury.

The  classic option costs €700-€900  ($740-$950) and includes:

  • Free date changes. 

The  premium option costs around €1100-€1840  ($1160-$1940) per person and is in the middle of the range. It includes:

  • Host(ess) who buys food and cooks it for you
  • Free date changes

The luxury option is the premier option. This  costs around €1450- €2510  ($1530- $2650) and includes:

  • Air Conditioning
  • Host(ess) who buys the food and cooks it for you
  • Free Date Changes

All premium and luxury packages include a host who does all the shopping for food ingredients and whips up the below meals:

  • 6 (six) breakfasts
  • 6 (six) lunches
  • 2 (two) dinners
  • Mineral water

This  costs an extra €1025  ($1080) on Build Your Own (BYO) packages. These are packages where you add all the services you want individually and pay for the total.

If you want to add preselected drinks to your BYO package, the  additional cost starts at €850  ($900). Regardless of which package you choose, the following are included in the fee for all tiers of yacht week:

  • Skipper’s wages
  • Yacht accommodation for 7 days
  • Access to all exclusive events
  • International DJs
  • Professional photographers
  • Stereo speakers onboard
  • Final yacht cleaning
  • Bath towels & bed linen
  • Festival VIP tickets
  • Food basics for breakfast and lunch to be prepared by yourself if you choose the classic ‘tier.’

Not included in yacht fee ( Hidden / Extra Costs)

1. Refundable yacht deposit/ security deposit, which is paid for in case of damage to the yacht. If there is no damage to the vessel, this deposit will be returned to you at the end of the week. The amount varies between €250 and €350 ($265 and $370) per person. This can be paid in cash on arrival.

2. Transport to and from the airport (remember to bring cash for taxis as they may not accept cards).

3. Flights to and from Croatia

4. Food and drinks for yourself if you select the BYO package, which doesn’t automatically include food.

The premium and luxury tiers include food purchased and cooked by your host. Still, if you choose the classic tier, you will need to prepare your own food. And buy groceries for dinner and any extras apart from the basics provided for breakfast and lunch.

Food and drink for the host(ess) and the skipper when you are away from the yacht.

Eating out and alcohol will be extra. Budget the same amount you would typically for a holiday, considering how often you will feast on the yacht and how often you will eat out.

5. Yacht fuel, water and shore power. In addition, there are the Port Fees and security post. You can pay for these on arrival at each island. These vary depending on the date, location, and the size of your yacht.

6. Water taxis to transport you and your squad to/from the yacht on days/nights when you go shoreside. 

7. Tips for your skipper and host(ess). You’ll want to factor in the fantastic service you’ll be treated to.

Extra costs for the Original Route with 1 0 people on board.

On a Monohull:

  • Water Taxis: €400/$420
  • Fuel: €400/$420
  • Water: €50/ $52,70
  • Port Fees: €600/$632,60
  • Total: €1450/$1530

On a Catamaran:

  • Fuel: €550/ $580
  • Port Fees: €800/ $844
  • Total: €1800/ $1900

For more essential tips on preparing for yacht week, read our article how do I prepare for yacht week? Where we outline what to pack and what a typical yacht week itinerary might look like.

How many people do you need for yacht week ?

Depending on the yacht, the maximum number of people you can have on your boat is 10 (ten) to 12 (twelve).  

You can either gather enough people to split the cost between yourselves (usually between eight and twelve people). Or you can book a cabin with a friend (two of you to fill a cabin) on someone else’s yacht.

In which case, you are placed on a yacht that needs extra people to split the cost. This you can do through the yacht week website using the ‘crew finder.’ 

You can also use the crew finder to find more people for your yacht to fill up any spaces to help split the cost further. However, it is usually more cost-effective to go with the first option of getting an entire yacht and splitting the cost with friends.

Do you need AC for yacht week ?

Air Conditioning may be costly, but it’s pretty much  the consensus that it is essential to have AC for yacht week- especially if you are going in the heat of summer.  

The cabins are small and compact with very little fresh air. Get AC if you want any hope of sleeping and don’t want to be trapped with the scent of sweat permeating the air!

F i nal Thoughts

Overall, yacht week can be extremely pricey if you let it but can also be affordable if you are willing to cut back on the luxuries. 

The difficulty in the decision comes in choosing whether to get AC. Which is only part of the luxury tier and not part of the classic or premium tier, but you can fix this problem by choosing more budget options for other aspects of the trip.

Still unsure if yacht week is for you or if the cost suits your purse? Then, why not look at these two articles comparing Yacht Week with  Bucketlust  and  Sail Week ? They are competing companies with similar offerings so that you can make an informed choice.

8 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU GO ON THE YACHT WEEK

This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We may receive a small commission when you make a purchase using our link.

Have you heard of The Yacht Week ? If not then let me introduce you to what could be the best week of your life. Back in 2014 I spent a week sailing around Greece on an all girls Yacht Week boat. We had an incredible time but there were some things I wish I would have known before the trip that could have made it even better. So here are eight things you should know before you go on The Yacht Week!

1) THE YACHT WEEK COULD BE THE BEST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE – JUST GO!

As you can see from the video above The Yacht Week looks like a lot of fun, and it is! This video is of The Yacht Week Greece trip I was on featuring some clips of our boat. I booked with one of my friends and prior to the tip I hadn’t met any of the other girls who were going to be on our sailboat. All the girls turned out to be awesome and we all made fast friends.

If you can’t get a group of friends together to book your own sailboat don’t let that stop you from going on The Yacht Week. Just find one friend to go with you and book a two-person cabin! You’ll make new friends, and have the time of your life, especially after reading all my tips so you’ll know what to expect.

2) THE YACHT WEEK IS MORE ABOUT PARTYING THAN SAILING

The Yacht Week is basically one big floating festival! If you want to have a serious week of peaceful sailing then The Yacht Week is probably not for you. You will sail from location to location but you’ll spend a lot more time partying than sailing on most of The Yacht Week routes. You need to be in the right frame of mind for this prior to the trip. So if you plan on going on The Yacht Week put your party hat on and be ready to have some fun!

3) CHOOSE YOUR YACHT WEEK ROUTE BASED ON PACE

You’ll likely look at The Yacht Week website and see a destination you want to go to and decide this is the route you want to take. I advise against this. In order to have the best time possible book a route based on the pace you want to go at.

Since I went on The Yacht Week they have added several new routes including an Italy route which they are marketing as slower paced for “sophisticated sailors and the food fanatics.” I have only been on the Greece route so I can’t vouch for this claim but if you want to do less partying, and more sailing and exploring, booking the Italy route seems like the way to go.

The Greece route I went on is labeled at a mid paced route. I love music and parties but I personally would have preferred more sailing and sight-seeing. Based on my experience, I would describe the mid paced Yacht Week routes (Greece, Montenegro and BVIs) as party routes and the fast paced routes (Croatia and Croatia Ultra) as ultra party routes.

4) SKIP SOME OF THE DAY PARTIES & EXPLORE

As I said above The Yacht Week, overall, is more about partying than anything else but you are visiting amazing places on all of their routes so I suggest skipping some of the parties and exploring your surroundings. On the Greece route there was a day party and a night party at each stop. When we docked at Hydra Island , my friend and I skipped the day party and explored the island which turned out to be one of my favorite days on the trip! There are plenty of parties so don’t worry about skipping some of them and opting to take in some sights and local culture instead.

5) SPLURGE ON A PREMIUM SAILBOAT

This is a gross topic but I have to bring it up because I would never want anyone to be in the same situation the girls on my boat were on. Our Yacht Week boat was a cheaper, economy sailboat and it was not equipped for us to be able to do anything besides pee in the toilets. That’s right, we did not have proper use of toilets on our boat for an entire week! Because of this my friend and I ended up renting several hotel rooms during Yacht Week (read Nikki Beach Porto Heli and Hotel Miranda Hydra Island ) just so we could have use of a toilet and shower.

So what is the moral of this story? Don’t go for the cheapest boat you can find. There are now four types of yachts you can book with The Yacht Week – Economy, Standard, Premium and Premium Plus. Spend the extra money to book a premium sailboat, and check that you’ll have unrestricted use of the toilet onboard before you book.

6) THE YACHT WEEK IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOU THINK

I budgeted around $75 a day for food, drinks and extras for our seven-day trip and quickly realized this was not going to be enough. Upon arrival we were told we needed to go shopping for costumes for the sailing competition and parties. Next, we had to put money in for the “Kitty Fund,” which is food and drinks for the boat for the week. We also had to pitch in money to tip our skipper and pay for gas for the boat.

At The Yacht Week parties you usually get one or two free drinks with your wristband, but after, that you have to pay for your drinks. Drinking every day can get expensive, especially if you want to splurge on bottle service. If you plan to drink and eat out and don’t want to worry about running out of money, you should plan to spend around $130 USD/day.

$150 Kitty $50 Costumes $525 ($75/Day Restaurants + Cocktails x 7 Days) $100 Gas/Tip for Skipper $100 Bottle Service _______ $925 TOTAL

7) YOUR SAILBOAT WILL GET DIRTY REALLY QUICKLY

We had an all-girls crew and our sailboat still got very dirty every day. In order to keep your boat from becoming filthy get everyone on your boat to agree from the start to all help clean. If everyone pitches in, it takes less than 20 minutes a day to keep your boat clean. Do your dishes right after you are done eating, and keep all your personal stuff in your own cabin. No one wants to spend a week in a tiny cramped, dirty space. This is the real Yacht Week v. your Instagram Yacht Week…

8) CHOOSE WHO YOU BOOK WITH WISELY

The last thing you want to do is go on what could be the week of your life with someone who can’t go with the flow, relax and enjoy an adventure. If you’re booking a two-person cabin with a friend make sure you are on the same page about what type of trip you both want to have.

If you can’t wait to get to The Yacht Week and party all week and your friend is looking for a peaceful, relaxing week of sailing and sightseeing it is not going to work. If your friend wants to do a luxury sailing trip but you want to book an economy sailboat to save money it is not going to work. This seems pretty obvious but I saw both of these scenarios happen and it is a buzz kill for everyone. Make sure you are on the same page with whoever you book The Yacht Week with, wether you are booking a two-person cabin or an entire sailboat.

Im about to book the Greece trip with a friend but now I am really concerned about the bathroom situation… can you maybe tell me a little bit more about that?

June 18, 2019 at 7:11 am

The boats have marine toilets; you can use them for #1 and #2, you just can’t flush anything else down them. So that means you have a baggie for toilet paper you throw out once or twice a day. It’s not ideal, but it’s not as bad as you might think, and you get used to it pretty quick. Plus, you’re on land a lot and can use regular toilets pretty much any time you’re not sailing.
