The app opens up in stages between your access date and the day you board. The closer you get, the more you can see and do. Here's how it unfolds.
From the moment you have access
When the app opens to you — immediately for Custom Yacht bookings, and when your yacht is assigned for Full Yacht and Cabin bookings — you'll have access to three things straight away: the route crew list (everyone confirmed on your route), the newsfeed for posting and sharing photos, and direct messaging with anyone in your crew list. The social side of the week starts here, weeks before you board.
Yacht Week itself stays silent during this period. You won't see posts from our team yet, and the Itinerary section will be empty or show placeholder content. That's deliberate.
From six weeks before your event
Our team begins posting on the newsfeed from six weeks out. You'll start seeing trip-relevant updates from Yacht Week alongside posts from your fellow guests. New posts trigger push notifications, so you don't need to be in the app to notice them.
From two weeks before your event
Two weeks out, the picture fills in.
Your itinerary is published — each day broken into an overview and a set of activities with timings, descriptions, images, and locations.
Your Skipper and Host appear in the crew list, and you can message them directly.
Your yacht group chat opens. It includes your yacht crew, your Skipper, and your Host, and it's where the practical side of the week gets coordinated.
On check-in day
Your Skipper coordinates boarding through the yacht group chat. Times can shift depending on conditions at the dock, so keep notifications on for the chat that morning.
