These are proposed dates, not confirmed ones. Nothing below is locked with an operator yet. The calendar in the app is the only one that counts.
The club's year runs in two halves that never overlap. Dubai carries the winter, when the Mediterranean is closed and the Gulf is at its best. The Mediterranean carries the summer. Between them there is very little dead time, which is the entire point of running a calendar across harbors rather than out of one.
Dubai, December to February
Dubai is the club's answer to the fact that the Mediterranean shuts. From December through February the Gulf sits in the high twenties, the water is flat, and every venue that matters is open, which is the exact inverse of Europe in the same months.
The club opens on December 4 and runs through February 26: fifteen days. The shape of them is deliberately different from a Mediterranean day. Sunrise yoga on the Arabian Gulf, sunset sails off Palm Jumeirah, the Atlantis swim and snorkel, a run out to the World Islands, a day out to the Burj Al Arab, a superyacht champagne brunch, and a marina skyline cruise after dark. Two of them are built as rooms rather than routes: Founders of Dubai in January, and a Ladies Day on the Gulf.
The city is putting real weight behind the water at the same time. The Dubai International Marine Club has programmed 40 events across the 2026 to 2027 season, running September through April, mixing traditional dhow sailing across the 22, 43 and 60 foot classes with modern watersport competition. Dubai is not treating the marine calendar as decoration, and the club's season is built to sit inside it.
Cannes and Monaco, from late May
The Mediterranean opens on May 22 at Cannes, with the Iles de Lerins day sail, and Monaco follows on May 28 at Port Hercule. That timing follows the Film Festival, which filled this coast from May 12 to 23 this year, when the water is the least crowded part of the Riviera.
Cannes carries eight days through to mid-July: the Lerins sail twice, a Croisette sunset cruise, the Palm Beach after-party, a Riviera founders lunch, a red carpet champagne evening and a bride tribe day. Monaco carries five, including a Grand Prix week on the water and a Cap-Ferrat day sail, closing with a founders lunch on July 23.
One thing worth saying plainly to anyone planning around this coast: the expensive weeks are the event weeks, and they are expensive on land far more than on water. Berths get dearer. An anchorage does not.
The Amalfi Coast and Capri, from June
Italy opens June 5 with the Positano to Amalfi coastal run, and Capri joins a week later on June 12 with a Blue Grotto morning, timed for the first hour it opens rather than the middle of the day when the queue is a boat length long.
Between them the two harbors carry eleven days through to August 21: the Emerald Grotto and swim day, an Amalfi long lunch at anchor, a Capri circumnavigation, the Faraglioni swim and lunch, sunset off Positano, Marina Grande at dusk, a coastal content day, a champagne evening on Capri and the Li Galli islands, which close the club's Mediterranean season on August 21.
Italy is the part of the calendar least dependent on reservations and most dependent on the boat. None of the above requires a table anywhere. All of it requires being on the water at the right hour.
Saint-Tropez and Mykonos, from July
Saint-Tropez opens July 2 and Mykonos July 4, and the two run in parallel through August, eight days and seven days respectively.
Saint-Tropez is built around Pampelonne and the hours on either side of it: sunrise yoga, a Calanques snorkel day, the Pampelonne beach club day, rose and seafood at anchor, a content day, VC on the Riviera as a networking format, a stag day, and sunrise yoga again to close on August 20.
Mykonos runs to the Cyclades rather than around the island. Delos and Rhenia to open, Super Paradise, the sunset cruise, an Aegean swim and snorkel, a Ladies Day in the Cyclades, Mykonos After-Dark and Founders in the Aegean on August 15. Both islands are places where arriving by tender is materially better than arriving by road, and the calendar is built on that.
Ibiza, May to October
Ibiza opens May 29 and does not close until October 2, which makes it the longest season the club runs anywhere and the only harbor still sailing after every other one has shut. That is not padding. It is the single most useful thing the last letter turned up.
The island's clubs run their closing parties from the middle of September into the third week of October, and that window has the best conditions of the entire year: 24 to 28 degrees, water still at 22 to 24, residents playing their longest sets, and a fraction of the August crowd. Almost nobody plans a trip around it.
Nine days. The opening weekend at Cala Bassa while the west coast is still empty, two crossings to Formentera (one for Ses Illetes and the long middle of the day, one deliberately slower with nothing to be anywhere for), Es Vedra and Cala Conta programmed as house days timed so the set peaks with the light, the Blue Marlin transfer into Cala Jondal by tender rather than by road, a full-deck day party at the top of August, the San Antonio sunset strip, and the closing weekend flotilla on October 2.
Ibiza is the only harbor on the calendar where the boat and the night are the same economy. Everywhere else the yacht takes you to dinner. Here it takes you to the room, and then it takes you home.
What is not proposed yet
One thing, said directly rather than left for anyone to notice.
Cannes Lions week is not covered. The club has days on either side of it, June 19 and June 26, and nothing during the week itself. Lions is arguably the single highest-demand week in that harbor and the club has proposed days on both shoulders of it. That is being fixed rather than explained away.
Ibiza was the other gap when this letter was first written, and it is now proposed: nine days, May 29 to October 2, above.
Everything above is proposed until an operator confirms it. Whether a given day sails depends on it filling, which is how every SplitClub day works.
How to be on it
The club arranges the vessel, the captain and crew, and programs the route, the hours and the room. Members join the activity; nobody hires a boat. Contributions are held through our state-of-the-art payment processing system until a day is fully funded, and a day that does not fill does not sail and nobody is charged.
There is no initiation fee, no annual due, no mooring and no requirement to own a boat. There is an application, in every city, and it is reviewed individually.
