A yacht wedding in Croatia.
A private motor yacht, a full crew, a bay you choose yourself. From Istria to Dubrovnik, planned end-to-end in English.
A yacht wedding is the freest way to marry in Croatia. You are not tied to a venue — you bring one with you. A ceremony at anchor off Vis. Dinner on the foredeck at dusk. First night in one of the yacht's suites, and the next morning already somewhere else.
Yacht sizes we recommend
- 60–80ft motor yacht — up to 12 guests for the day, 6 sleeping on board
- 80–100ft motor yacht — up to 25 guests for the day, 8–10 sleeping on board
- 100ft+ luxury yacht — up to 50 guests for the day, professional crew, tenders for shore excursions
How we plan it
We work with a small circle of Croatian charter partners we know personally. Every yacht is inspected before we sign a contract for you. Catering comes on board from the land — Michelin-level kitchens when you want them — and the officiants, photographers and florists we bring have all worked at sea before. Boats forgive a lot; they don't forgive people who haven't done this before.
Looking for something more intimate under sail?
If you're picturing wind, canvas and fewer people, look at our boat weddings instead. Same coast, slower day.
Why us
A German-Croatian couple planning your day: Anita on the phone with you, Chris on the phone with the captain. Nothing translated twice, no middlemen between the promise and the harbour.
How to start
Send us a rough shape of what you're imagining — dates, group size, whether you want to stay in one bay or move between islands. We reply within a day or two with a first proposal. Every celebration is calculated individually, and pricing comes after a short call, not before.
Common questions
How is a yacht wedding different from a sailboat wedding?
A yacht here means a crewed motor yacht, typically 60–120ft, with more interior, more comfort and the range to move guests quickly between islands. A sailboat is quieter, smaller and slower on purpose. Both are beautiful; they're just different days.
Where do yacht weddings usually start?
Split, Trogir, Šibenik or Dubrovnik. The choice depends on where your guests are flying into and the route you'd like — north towards the Kornati, south through the Elaphiti, or a fixed anchorage.
How many guests fit on board?
Roughly: a 60–80ft yacht carries up to 12 guests for the day and sleeps six; 80–100ft takes 25 for the day and sleeps eight to ten; over 100ft can host up to fifty for a day event with a professional crew and tenders.
Can we legally marry on board?
In practice, no — Croatian law treats a ceremony at sea as symbolic. Most couples sign the papers at home; the yacht is then entirely yours for the day. If you want the legal act in Croatia, we hold it briefly ashore.
What happens with weather?
The Adriatic is well-behaved between May and September, but every plan includes a covered fallback on the yacht itself — most of the boats we work with are effectively floating venues, so a shift in the wind moves things inside rather than cancelling them.
