What to pack for Yacht Week

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in preparing for yacht week is overpacking. It’s not just you, it’s everyone’s first mistake. Carry-on bags only! (No hard sided luggage allowed in order to keep the yachts in perfect condition.)

Everyone always thinks they need ALL the things but trust me, you’re going to wear a bathing suit at least 75% of the time and the rest should be costumes and fun outfits.

Here are a few ideas for GEAR you might not be thinking of: Power Inverter/Charger – MOST IMPORTANT  – probably only need 2-3 per boat so talk to your buddiesWet Bag – swimsuit not dry? no sweat! Dry Bag – cell phone, wallet, etc Or  cell phone dry bag Battery charger portable Floatie Quick Dry Microfiber towel Flags Waterproof speaker Seabands Fun costume stuff – captain’s hats etc

CLOTHING (just in case you need it spelled out)

• Sandals and tennis shoes,  exclusively .  You do not need heels, EVER.  Flat sandals take up no space but you might actually want real shoes for the scooter rides and island activities.
• Lots of bathing suits . I brought 5 suits, and wore them all — some twice. Bathing suits are small and don’t take up much space, so don’t hold yourself back! Bring one for each day if you want!
• Cover ups . You only need 2-3. They take up more room and often you’re just hanging in the water without them.
• Tanks and tees . It’s going to be hot so the less sleeves the better but you might want a tee for sharing a cabin with someone at night.
• Dresses.  Everywhere is super chill. You only need a few casual ones if you prefer dresses, otherwise shorts and tanks are just fine!
• Themed clothes . WHITE PARTY/Riviera chic – wear something you’d wear to a preppy theme, country club theme, etc. White/light colors, stripes, bows, you name it. The preppier the better. Google “yacht week riviera chic” for more photos. Same with Retro Hawaiian, most people just wore ANYTHING Hawaiian looking – pineapples, palm trees, you name it. Everything goes.
• You don’t need jewelry unless it compliments your COSTUME.
• Undies –  you’ll wear more than you think because you .might change twice a day.
• Don’t forget your meds  – anything you .need for hangovers, motion sickness, or any everyday need!

Overall, think less is more. If you have questions, let us know!

Yacht Week Croatia: Everything You Need to Know

Chances are, you’ve heard about the infamous yacht week in croatia by now..

Or at least you’ve seen the pictures. You know, the photos with a bunch of Yachts tied up in a circle in the middle of bright blue water, or the ones of a giant party on donut and flamingo-shaped rafts.

For those of you living in a hole, Yacht Week is one week of living on a boat, where you will sail from island to island, partake in some of the biggest raft parties, and drink more in a week than some people do in a year. It’s also one week of making new life long friends, cruising from coast to coast on scooters, and dancing until the sun comes up.

Well, I’ve finally had a chance to experience the full on craziness of Yacht week this summer, and as usual, I made some mistakes so you don’t have to 🙂 Here is everything that you need to know about Yacht Week Croatia:

Choosing the Boat

Picking Your Crew

What to Pack

Other Fun Things to Bring (Rafts, etc.)

Beauty Prep

Seasickness

Skipper/Hostess Info

The Day of Arrival (Grocery Shopping, etc.)

Recognizing your Yacht

When to get Bottle Service

-Choosing the BOAT-

At first glance of the  boat page , your initial instinct may be to choose the cheapest boat (well at least that was ours). We did end up with the best WiFi out of all yacht week, but looking back we may have splurged for a catamaran.

Things to consider when booking the smallest boat: small rooms, not a lot of common space for 10 people, and no AC..(think about your mornings with no AC for a second). The cabin rooms do allow a decent amount of hidden compartments to store your stuff, but you will most likely be sharing this space with one other person… and boy can things get messy. If you do decide to go with a smaller boat, spend time during the first day to organize your stuff. This will help a lot in the long run.

-Picking your CREW-

If you only have a certain number of people and want a bigger boat or to pay less, you can find people to join your crew on the Yacht Week Facebook group. The Facebook group for our year was “Yacht Week Croatia 2017 – Crew Finder” so adjust the year accordingly. You can also find people on the Yacht Week Croatia website crew finder. We had four girls so we found our other four guys using Facebook. Be careful picking your crew, you will be spending an entire week with these people on a boat.

-What to PACK-

Depending on your route, there will most likely be a few themed parties along the way. Make sure to download the Yacht Week App ahead of time to view the schedule for your yacht week. Ours included a Tropical Retro party and a Riviera Chic Park aka. White Party as well as a Costume Regada. (Side note: the Yacht Week App also allows you to creep on other people attending your Yacht Week, as well as the skippers and hostesses, so yeah download it).

Of course you will also want a ton of bathing suits and light fabric clothes (dresses, shorts,etc.). I’d recommend bringing at least two pairs of sandals, since mine decided to jump ship the second day.

-Other FUN things to buy (let’s address the raft situation)-

You can buy floats ahead of time on Amazon , or if you plan on arriving in Split early and having time, plenty of shops sell floats there. One thing I wish I had during yacht week- a sippy cup. During the float parties, it’s hard to carry glassware into the water and a lot of water gets in a solo cup or anything else. I really wish I had a cup with a lid to put a cocktail into. I saw a few cute ones like these while I was there. Flash tats are fun to wear during the week, cute hats, funky jewelry.

Some of my favorite rafts:

T-rex for $28.20

Unicorn for $19.99

Peacock for $34.99

Dragon for $44.99

Pineapple Sippy Cup for $6.75

You may want to consider buying a waterproof case for your phone, or a GoPro since there will be tons of float parties that you will want proof of. Other things to consider: Sunscreen, bugspray, dry shampoo

-Beauty Preparation-

In preparation for yacht week, I recommend getting a bikini wax. The showers on the boat aren’t great. Most of your showers will probably be at port or hosing off on the back of the boat. So, unless you’re fine with taking care of your daily duties in front of the entire crew, get a bikini wax. I also recommend getting a manicure/pedicure if you don’t want to be bothered with that during the trip. If you’re into this sort of thing, eyelash extensions were super useful (I didn’t have to do my makeup at all).

-Seasickness-

I grew up on a lake and I am pretty used to riding around in boats all day. However, for one week on a boat, even I got dizzy at times. When you leave the boat, sometimes you can get a feeling like you are still on it. These seasick patches should help with that. Other medications to bring along: caffeine pills or something similar (expect some long days and longer nights), Ibprofen for headaches, Airborne to keep your immune system strong, b12 for those hungover mornings.

-Skipper/Hostess Info-

Each boat is assigned a skipper, the person who will be driving you around for a week and also partying with you. You can also decide to add a hostess who will cook for you (breakfast and lunch everyday) and clean. Before you decide you don’t need a hostess, think about the cleaning. Unless your crew is going to be dedicated to taking care of dishes and cleaning the bathroom, you should probably hire a hostess. The crew is responsible for feeding the skipper and the hostess, so they will be eating your groceries and joining you for dinner.

-The Day of ARRIVAL-

Figure out which harbor you will be taking off from (by logging into the Yacht Week website). Our boat was parked at the Seget Marina. See if there is a place to store your bags while you wait to board the boat and grocery shop. If you’re at Seget Marina, there is baggage storage for a small fee. Your skipper and hostess will be in contact with you the day of arrival to set up a time to meet and grocery shop.

If you have a hostess, someone or multiple people will have to volunteer to grocery shop with her. I recommend not being this person, it takes about 2 hours. The store is packed with yacht weekers stocking up. If you don’t have a hostess, I recommend grocery shopping at a different store than everyone else or a day earlier. Who wants to be the grocery store for hours?

Here’s a picture of our grocery carts:

-Recognizing your YACHT-

There may be some mornings or nights where you wake up on another boat or somewhere unexpected and you need to find your way home. 😉 Make note of which flags your boat has and the boat name. This will make things a lot easier.

 -Bottle SERVICE-

I’m not really someone who likes bottle service and most of the time I find it completely unnecessary. However, for the white party (Croatia Route), almost everyone gets a table so I would recommend getting one. Before the trip, ask your skipper if there are any places he or she recommends signing up for bottle service.

What is Riviera Chic?

Kenna Reyner

Every year the fabulous descend on côte d'azur with some of the chicest looks of the year..

The French Riviera is known as one of the luxury epicenters of the world. Côte d'Azur is on the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France . The Cannes Film festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Mediterranean summer draw crowds dressed in french vacation wear, otherwise known as French Riviera style.

Remember to style cropped tops, animal prints, and floral silk garments as you prep for your luxurious getaway to the French Riviera. Riviera Chic is unlike other French styles; outside the South of France, the same looks might be considered vulgar. Lucky for us, the rest of the world is far less discerning. Take your Riviera chic looks from one beach vacation to another.

Parisian locals describe the styles from the South of France as much louder. Rather than the refined Parisienne looks we already love, the styles from this region encourage you to break the mold. From your favorite linen finds to '70s basket bags, you'll find plenty of fun trends to explore as you wander the beautiful streets of the French Riviera.

Looks we love

The Basket Bag

We've loved all these styles since we saw Jane Birkin walk the Cannes Film Festival red carpet with a basket bag in tow. If you're looking for the perfect french bag, try the luxe boutiques of Nice.

Slip Dresses

Paired with sandals and Birkin-esque basket bags, silk slip dresses take you from day to night. Not only are these pieces perfect for the warmth of Mediterranean nights, but they pack down to next to nothing.

A wide-brimmed hat is your skin's best friend and adds much-needed protection from the summer sun. Many of these straw hat styles have been fondly named the Riviera hat, an ode to the stylish, beachy outfits of the French Riviera.

Colorful Cover-ups

Sarongs and button-down shirts are just a few great ways to take a look from the beach to brunch. Cover-ups are a great way to add personality to swimwear and are perfect for adding glam to the luxe beach resorts and private beaches of Cote d'Azur.

Don't forget your Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick.

While a great red from Chanel is more classic Parisian than Riviera chic, this shade is another great way to add glamour to your beach-bound look. 

Travel Tip: Upgrade Your Suites for a Luxe Experience

Check out suites before you book. From interior cabins to stunning suites there are a few great reasons to upgrade your room. The perks of booking a nicer room start the moment you arrive with priority disembarkation. One obvious benefit is that upgraded cabins can be larger. While the typical hotel room is decently large, cruising suites are generally much smaller. Even upgrading to a balcony will offer you and your cruising partner more space. These nicer rooms are often located in better locations on board, either at the front and back of the ship for great views or in the middle to limit motion, (and sea sickness.) On top of all this, nicer suites often include added perks like free laundry service, a private butler, exclusive access to parts of the ship, and more.

Travel There

Nothing screams Riviera chic more than Yachting along the French Riviera. Choose from big to small ships and discover the best of the Mediterranean with port-heavy itineraries. As a bonus, you'll only have to unpack once, which means more room for shopping.

Enjoy traditional Luxury with the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection

A voyage with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection offers an unprecedented opportunity to be untethered. Here, freedom and flexibility allow immersion in life's exceptional experiences; exploration of earth's exquisite and unexpected hideaways; and stirring of passions and curiosities that create new and deepened connections.

Discover Côte d'Azur with Seadream's intimate ships

Sail from Barcelona to Nice aboard the Seadream II. The yachting experience begins with a warm welcome from the captain with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. The rest is up to you. Whether by day or night lounging on signature Balinese Dream Beds, indulging in Dream Cuisine, sipping a SeaDream cocktail at the back of the yacht, relaxing in the SeaDream Spa, or being active with our Watersports Marina, this is your yacht, make it uniquely yours.

Embrace the wonders of the Mediterranean with Azamara

Experience the style and allure of French culture when you spend seven days sailing along its breathtaking coast. Begin your journey in Barcelona. S pend a night soaking in the perfection of Provence. Then, explore the wonders of the French Riviera from Barcelona to Monte-Carlo.

Traditional Cruising aboard the Celebrity Reflection

Cruise to the French Riviera, with its chic resort towns, charming old villages, and unforgettable Mediterranean beaches. In Paris, encounter some of the most classic French art and architecture, indulge in world-class cuisine and marvel at the masterpieces of the Louvre. See the lavender fields in Provence and learn how to make classic French dishes during a cooking demonstration in Marseille. Experience the best France offers on an unforgettable luxury cruise with Celebrity.

 Adult Only Adventures with Virgin Voyages

Set out to some of the Med's most sensational seaside spots. Visit the stunning city of Marseille, bask in Cannes's glam from day to night, and take in Palma de Mallorca's regal scenery. Resetting with a relaxing day at sea, you'll finish the voyage with a full day and overnight stay on the vibrant Spanish island of Ibiza.

The Ultimate Guide to The Yacht Week in Croatia

• Share Content on Facebook
• Share Content via Email

Are you a party animal in search of an unforgettable experience? Look no further than The Yacht Week in Croatia! This week-long extravaganza is held annually in the beautiful and underrated destination of Croatia. But here's the twist - all the parties take place on yachts! If you're ready for an adventure filled with epic parties, stunning scenery, and lifelong memories, then The Yacht Week is the place to be.

What is The Yacht Week?

Choosing your route, booking your yacht week experience, accommodations on the yachts, exploring the islands, the parties - the highlight of each day, dining on the yacht week, budgeting for the yacht week, the importance of your crew, arrival and departure.

The Yacht Week is a renowned seven-day festival that takes place in six different locations, with Croatia being one of them. It all started back in 2006 when a group of friends from Sweden decided to create their own sailing experience for adventure seekers like themselves. Since then, The Yacht Week has grown to include 70,000 people who love to explore, party, and sail.

When it comes to The Yacht Week in Croatia, there are seven different routes to choose from. Each route offers a unique experience, with varying levels of partying, local exploration, and cultural immersion. The Original Croatia Route is the most popular choice, known for its legendary parties and breathtaking scenery. But if you're looking for something different, you can also opt for routes in Italy, Greece, Montenegro, the Caribbean, or Grenada.

Once you've decided on the route that suits your preferences, it's time to gather your crew and book your yacht or cabin. It's important to book early as the boats per route are limited. You can book directly through the official website of The Yacht Week to secure your spot and start planning for the adventure of a lifetime.

During The Yacht Week, your home will be the yacht itself. While the accommodations may not be lavish, the boats are well-maintained and provide a comfortable space for you and your crew. It's important to note that space on the yachts can be a bit cramped, so be prepared for close quarters. Most boats have multiple bathrooms, but it's essential to be mindful of water usage and follow proper toilet etiquette.

While The Yacht Week is known for its epic parties, it's also an opportunity to explore the stunning islands of Croatia. From secluded bays to charming towns, there's no shortage of beauty to discover. Take the time to go on excursions, rent a Vespa and explore the islands, or simply walk around the towns and indulge in local delicacies. It's all about finding the perfect balance between partying and experiencing the culture and natural wonders of Croatia.

Let's not forget the main attraction - the parties! The Yacht Week Croatia is famous for its legendary parties, and each day offers a unique and unforgettable experience. From the Riviera Chic party in Hvar to the Fort Party in a historic fort, the festivities are non-stop. Snagging a table with bottle service is highly recommended for a more comfortable experience. The Raft Party and Regatta are also highlights not to be missed. It's all about dancing, socializing, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

While onboard, you'll have the option to have your own hostess who will cook breakfast and lunch for you and your crew. Trust us when we say, this is worth every penny. Your hostess will take care of the meals, ensuring that everyone is well-fed and ready to take on the day's adventures. However, there are also plenty of opportunities to eat out at local restaurants and enjoy the delicious cuisine of Croatia. Don't forget to try traditional dishes like Peka, and indulge in some mouthwatering ice cream from local shops.

It's important to be prepared and budget accordingly for The Yacht Week. While the cost will depend on various factors such as the route, yacht type, and group size, it's essential to account for expenses like groceries, port fees, water taxis, bottle service, and group dinners. Splitting costs evenly with your crew is recommended to ensure a fair distribution of expenses. Planning ahead and using apps like Splitwise can help keep track of expenses and settle the bill at the end of the trip.

Your crew plays a significant role in the success of The Yacht Week. It's important to have a group of like-minded individuals who are open-minded, responsible, and ready to have a good time. The Yacht Week places emphasis on the ratio of guys to girls in your group, so it's crucial to ensure a balance. Having a skipper and hostess on board is also highly recommended, as they will provide guidance, take care of logistics, and enhance your overall experience.

Arriving a day before the official check-in time is recommended to avoid any potential travel delays and ensure a smooth start to your Yacht Week adventure. Booking accommodations near the marina allows for a good night's sleep before embarking on your journey. On the departure day, you'll return to the marina, check out, and bid farewell to your yacht and crew. It's a bittersweet moment, but the memories and friendships forged during The Yacht Week will last a lifetime.

The Yacht Week in Croatia is an experience like no other - a perfect blend of adventure, partying, and exploration. From sailing the stunning Croatian coastline to dancing the night away at legendary parties, this week-long extravaganza is sure to be the best week of your life. So gather your crew, book your yacht or cabin, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Embark on The Yacht Week in Croatia, and let the party begin!

French Riviera Charter Itinerary

Renowned for its beauty, the South of France (Cote D’Azur) has a wealth of quiet bays and superlative waters. The Riviera’s chic beach clubs, world-class restaurants, boutiques and spas combine to offer the world’s most luxurious vacation.

Day 1: Monaco

Enjoy the breathtaking views as you make your way from the Nice international airport to the incredible principality of Monaco to begin your luxury yacht charter. A late afternoon apéritif on board is a must before heading off to explore the city. Have dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant; later role the dice at the famous Monte Carlo Casino or revel in the night at one of Monaco’s uber-fabulous clubs.

Day 2: Cannes

Enjoy the morning cruise to the iconic city of the French Riviera and relish the view, as you pull into a marina that is hull-to-hull with the world’s largest yachts. Spend the afternoon ashore, complete with lunch and a bottle of rosé, and then visit the Picasso Museum to add a bit of culture to the day. In the evening, Cannes awaits.

Day 3: Saint Tropez

A storybook port, popularized by Bridget Bardot in “And God Created Woman”, it has long been a summer home for artists, composers and novelists and the film colony. The town is filled with tiny squares, pastel colored houses, trendy boutiques, cabarets, galleries, and antique shops.

The hottest Riviera beaches are in St. Tropez, and your yacht can anchor right off of them. Actually, it’s one long 3-mile beach with various names along the way Tahiti, Bora Bora, Bali, etc. The beach is lined with thatched hut restaurants, burger shacks, tropical themed shops… You can either enjoy watersports off the yacht or go ashore for sunbathing and people watching.

Day 4: The Porquerolles Island

The island of Porquerolles lies in the Gulf of Hyères. Here you will find beautiful beaches, rolling hills, vineyards and a stunning forest — a large portion of the island is now a national park. No cars are allowed on the island, so exploration must be done by foot or by bike. Despite its remoteness, Porquerolles plays host to some excellent cuisine. Enjoy a meal at Le Mas du Langoustier.

Day 5: Cap D’Antibes

Antibes is a well-known resort town in the French Riviera located between Cannes and Nice. Antibes was a Greek fortified town named Antipolis in the 5th century BC, and later a Roman town, and always an active port for trading along the Mediterranean. Anchor in any one of the beautiful bays around the Cap d’Antibes and swim in the clear waters surrounded by pine trees.

Later, enjoy an aperitif in the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, the most stylish of the Côte’s luxury palaces which stands at the tip of the Cap d’Antibes peninsula in its own 22-acre manicured garden.

Day 6: Villefranche Sur-Mer

Villefranche-sur-Mer is an idyllic little village that looks to have popped straight out of a storybook. The Medieval architecture and narrow brick-laden roads that lead to steep cliffs dropping off into a crystalline sea will keep you wandering. The streets are lined with incredible local haunts. Be sure to visit Eze, a hilltop village with incredible views.

Day 7: St Jean Cap Ferrat

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of the pearls of the French Riviera. This stunning peninsula features a picturesque port, and has a delightful stone path that allows you to hike the entire peninsula by the sea.

Day 8: Monaco

The glitter and bling of the Principality of Monaco is dazzling. Your yacht charter will berth beneath the Royal Palace. Built into the rocks, Monaco offers world class shopping, the Oceanographic Museum once run by Jacques Cousteau, lovely gardens, superb restaurants and bars and, of course, the highlight – the Grand Casino of Monte Carlo. A tour of the Royal Grimaldi Palace is a must, and you might also enjoy a visit to Monaco Cathedral, the 19th century church where Prince Ranier and Grace Kelly were married.

Guy Fieri, star of 'Diners, Drive-ins and Dives', slashes price on Lake Worth Beach home

The celebrity chef and tv star lowered the price of his lake worth beach home by $755,000..

• He's selling one property but still has a waterfront home on Singer Island.

Celebrity chef and reality television star Guy Fieri has cut the price on his waterfront Lake Worth Beach home by $755,000 after nine months on the market with no takers.

Fieri bought the 6,000-square-foot home on the gated Bella Vista Avenue in 2021 for $3.9 million. The spikey-haired bleach blonde chef , who is the star of myriad cooking shows, put it up for sale in September for $8.75 million — more than twice what he paid.

Multiple listing service records from the Broward, Palm Beaches and St. Lucie Realtors Group show the home on a rare corner lot with 210 feet along the Intracoastal Waterway was first reduced to $8.5 million in October and to its current price of $7.99 million in March.

Fieri isn't quitting Palm Beach County . In June 2023, he bought a waterfront home on Riviera Beach's Singer Island for $7.3 million.

Both homes were purchased under the limited liability company Gus Richie 1. The corporate title is a possible play on the names Gus Ferrari and Guy Richie, which Fieri has said fans have called him by mistake.

The Lake Worth Beach home was built in 2001 but a description on real estate site Movoto said there was a $1.2 million renovation in 2010. Fieri added new air conditioners and upgraded the spa and pool with new tile, a pool heater and exterior speakers.

It has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, elevator, hurricane impact windows, Gladiator storage shelving in the garage, a boat lift and private dock that can accommodate a large yacht. There is also a public dock in the community.

Furnishings and patio items are included in the sale, according to the listing on Zillow.

Tampa-area Realtor Charlie Bodine of the Real Estate Firm of Florida is representing Fieri in the sale.

"It's a very unique little enclave on a wonderful stretch of water," Bodine said in an interview earlier this year. "It's very hard to find 210 linear feet of dock and seawall on a property."

Despite the price drop on Fieri's Lake Worth Beach home, prices on single-family homes in Palm Beach County continued to climb this year.

In April, the median price hit a record high of $650,000, an 11% increase from April 2023.

Redfin, an online market housing market analysis and sales company, found that about 6.5% of homes listed in Palm Beach County for sale dropped their prices between early March and June 9. That's up from 2.5% during the same time period in the boom year of 2021.

It's unknown if Fieri plans to become a permanent resident of Palm Beach County where he's been spotted at several locations the past few years, including the Lake Worth Beach Pier and Venezia Italian Pizza and Ristorante on Northlake Boulevard in North Palm Beach.

Guy Fieri ‘Flavortown’ in Florida: Food Network star visits local restaurants for his ‘DDD’ Food Network series

In 2022, he made a surprise visit to students at Lake Worth Community High School's Culinary Academy and donated $20,000 to the program.

In 2021, he featured West Palm Beach's Cholo Soy Cocina and the now closed Bucher Shop Beer Garden and Grill on his show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." Fieri has also stopped at the Coolinary Café in northern Palm Beach Gardens.

Things To Do

Restaurants, food and drink, restaurants, food and drink | denver bar offers high-brow cocktails in a low-key setting, yacht club serves wine, cocktails, hot dogs for a truly neighborhood experience.

I was in a bad mood the first time I set foot inside Yacht Club. It had been a long day and I didn’t feel like fighting my way through a crowd for a basic cocktail. It didn’t help that the interior of the little building was decorated in a style I was snarkily calling “kitschy hipster-chic dive-bar modern.”

But it wasn’t that crowded on the day my wife and I sat at the bar and took a look at a menu with a long list of delicious-looking (and decidedly non-basic) cocktails.

One, in particular, stood out to me: Changes in Attitude, which was made with Scotch, Madeira wine, pineapple, coconut, lemon, buttermilk and a giant ice cube. I asked the bartender about the wine and he pointed out that there is wine in almost every cocktail at Yacht Club. He also patiently explained the other ingredients and how some of the drinks were batched in advance.

My wife and I ended up splitting three Changes in Attitude. It was that good.

Over the next hour or so, I had my own change in attitude – not entirely surprising based on the Scotch – but also because Yacht Club began to grow on me. The decor now seemed more charming than overwrought; the bartender continued to be patient; the drinks were excellent and the music was good: an eclectic mix of yacht rock classics, ‘90s alt bangers and pop ballads.

The second time I visited Yacht Club was even better, and the third time, I felt right at home.

That feeling is just what Yacht Club owners Mary Allison Wright and McLain Hedges were hoping for when they opened in an old building at 3701 Williams St. , next to Brasserie Brixton, in 2021.

“We want to make people feel at ease,” Hedges said. “To make them comfortable.”

The pair had a long time to think about how to do that. They first opened Yacht Club in a central area inside The Source food hall in the River North Art District in 2015. When their lease ran out four years later, they began looking for another home and finally found one in March 2020. Luckily for them, it fell through. Otherwise, the pandemic would likely have put an end to it.

Instead, Hedges and Wright joined a “forced reckoning” in the restaurant and bar industry, spending their downtime asking themselves what they missed the most about bars and what they’d like to return to. The answers aligned perfectly with the space on Williams Street.

But there was another challenge. How to create a dive-style neighborhood bar that didn’t seem “too precious” or overly manipulated,” Wright explained. Part of the solution was putting the bar staff to work actually building the bar, something that kept them employed during the pandemic-y days before opening. Eventually, Wright and Hedges decided on the following design ethos: If a yacht took a detour through a swamp and ran ashore, and you could only build a bar using what you had on board and what was available in the swamp, what would it look like?

That now includes everything from prodigious plant life to year-round Christmas lights to nautical trinkets, funky decorations, a huge wine list and a healthy dose of Jimmy Buffett.

“At the end of the day, you can’t just create a dive bar. They manifest themselves over time. But they usually start as neighborhood bars and that is where we are,” Hedges said.

The desire to be “a melting pot” for the changing neighborhoods around them – Cole, Clayton, City Park, Whittier, Skyland, Five Points – is also how they came up with their menu, he explained. You can get cocktails for around $15 a pop or a shot and a beer for $7. You can get a bottle of French champagne for $250 or a Jack-and-Coke and a hot dog for $9.

“Normally, people choose one or the other” when they start a bar, Hedges said. “But we wanted to remain accessible to the industry, the neighborhood and anyone who comes in the door.”

Did I mention the hot dogs? A regular frank is $4 , a chilidog is $6 and one with cheeseball spread is $7. There’s also a caviar, crème fraiche and pickled shallot dog for $20 ( the ultimate “glizzy “).

“Meat tubes and alcohol are a tried-and-true pairing,” Wright said. Plus, since there is no kitchen, the bar staff can easily make them. “They are economical on space — and affordable.”

That combination has attracted a lot of attention as well. In 2023, Yacht Club landed on North America’s 50 Best Bars list, which is put together by bar industry pros. And earlier this year, the business was named as one of the 10 best U.S. cocktail bars by the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation’s Spirited Awards (an industry standard).

“We’re not on one of the coasts, so we push ourselves to go out and meet people … we travel and go to bar conventions. That means people are hearing about us and it gets our name out there. It’s a lot of hard work, but we want to bring people to this city,” Hedges said.

Hard work, so people like me can relax with a drink when we pull up a barstool.

Halle berry to carry olympic torch down the croisette in cannes before paris games.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Halle Berry is putting down her Oscar to pick up the torch.

The “Monster’s Ball” star will carry the Olympic flame down the Croisette in Cannes, France, on Tuesday ahead of the Paris Games’ kickoff next week, Page Six hears.

The famed French Riviera boulevard, which houses designer shops but has been taken over by the Cannes Lions festival , will be shut down temporarily as Berry makes her way through from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. local time.

Reps for the actress did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Festivalgoers have expressed concern about the timing, as Stagwell Sport Beach, Spotify, MediaLink and more have set up shop on the beach, which we hear will not be accessible unless patrons have crossed the street prior to Berry’s strut.

“How am I supposed to get to my events if the Croisette is shut down?” one Lions attendee complained to us.

“Apparently they’re cutting the road in half? This is such unfortunate timing.”

An ad exec , meanwhile, shared how “excited” she is given her events are store-side and unaffected by the closure.

“It’ll be so amazing to see her carrying the torch!” she said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Berry, 57, has been busy on Capitol Hill lately, as she has urged for funding for research and education around menopause.

“The shame has to be taken out of menopause. We have to talk about this very normal part of our life that happens,” she said in May from the Capitol.

“Our doctors can’t even say the word to us, let alone walk us through the journey.”

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
