The Polaris is a restored classic wooden yacht that sails from Split harbour and can be chartered for the whole wedding, ceremony included. It seats around 100 for dinner, and the most popular plan is a cruise from the afternoon to midnight past the Dalmatian islands.

The story

A wedding at sea on a classic wooden yacht

The Polaris is an old-fashioned yacht with a long history, restored and run by a family crew out of Split. Captain and owner Marin Novaković handles every private charter himself, from the route and the timing to the food and drink, and shapes each offer to the occasion rather than selling a fixed package.

On board there are three places to be. The open upper deck has panoramic views over Split and the sea, and suits the ceremony, cocktails and dancing. A covered lounge at the back is good for drinks and conversation. Inside, a varnished-wood dining saloon with air conditioning seats around 100 for a multi-course dinner, whatever the weather. The galley is fully equipped, and the menu can run from finger food to several courses.
