YACHT WEEK BVI
The Ultimate Guide
The Yacht Week BVI is a party-fuelled sailing brigade that’ll have you island hopping like the rich and famous, all while creating new friendships with fellow travelers along the way. Contrary to belief, you don’t need any sailing experience to enjoy this incredible yachting adventure through the British Virgin Islands. Just gather your crew, book your boat, and start planning your beach-inspired outfits and pool floats for the week. Things are about to get wild.
We experienced The Yacht Week as a couple but there are no prerequisites for this party. You can be single, a couple, or leave bae at home for a week of new friendships and adventures. Whatever your relationships may be at the beginning, you’ll be lifelong besties with the entire crew by the end of this epic week. To make things even easier, Yacht Week has a required gender ratio to ensure a balanced party atmosphere.
With an actual look-book of outfits to rock on select party nights, you’ll need to prepare for this adventure in more ways than one.
Find your crew
If you don’t’ already have six to 12 people in mind to sail with, you can use the crew finder or Facebook group to your advantage. Meet people from around the world, fill up your yacht, and keep the party going!
We’d also suggest hiring a hostess to take care of all the shopping and cooking for you. Ours made delicious Insta-worthy meals that left us wanting more. Because who wants to cook & clean-up for themselves on vacation?
Party Lifestyle at Yacht Week BVI
Fall asleep floating just off one island, wake-up sailing to the next. Living on a yacht is a lifestyle that’s easy to get used to. This floating glamping adventure allows you to soak up some rays as you sail.
Settle into your routine of day parties on secluded cays and classic hot spots along the Virgin Island archipelago. On the BVI tour, you’ll hit up all the main islands and sail from Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, to Jost Van Dyke and back with your new crew.
Each night you let loose to wild DJ’ed parties on moonlit beaches with people from all around the world. From Sweden to Scotland, to the United States, to Australia, we met some seasoned Yacht weekers and some newbies just like us.
Activities at Yacht Week BVI
In addition to your new party lifestyle, you’ll also take part in some island-friendly activities. Think jet skiing on the royal blue sea, snorkeling shipwrecks, and frolicking in iconic Baths like Beyoncé. The line-up is ever-evolving and upon request, I was able to indulge in the views from Jost Van Dyke with a morning hike.
A healthy party attitude is your key to success here as you take part in Jingo. This sparkly way of life includes glitter, henna, yoga, and next-level good feels from their resident happiness guru or “glitter extraordinaire,” Emily.
What to Bring to Yacht Week BVI
To start, this voyage is carry-on only. Bring a soft duffle bag to pack in so you can fold it up and store it after you unpack. A universal charging unit or car adapter will give you that sweet electric juice that you’ll need to charge up and share all your epic shots on social.
And last but not least, the outfits. On top of your modern chic vacay wardrobe, you’ll need to plan ahead for the grand finale of The Yacht Week, Regatta Day. Find your group’s unique style and show it off as you sail-off for the grand prize of party perks….. And bragging rights!
Go Now
If you’re looking an out-of-the-box adventure that includes an Insta-worthy week of shenanigans in paradise, Yacht Week is for you. It’ll expose you to the beauty of the British Virgin Islands, sea-bound glamping, and endless international possibilities.
The only thought we were left with was, “Will it be Montenegro, Greece, or Croatia next?”
