What to expect.

Couples book us in three ways. Some want a symbolic ceremony or vow exchange on board. Others choose a celebration cruise with the wedding party, on the day or the day after, or a private cruise for the two of them between family events. The boat is private, with views of the city walls and islands, and the crew handles the timing.

Best for

  • Intimate elopements and symbolic ceremonies with your closest people on deck
  • Vow renewals on an anniversary, back where the honeymoon happened
  • Celebration cruises for the wedding party, the day of or the day after
  • Larger weddings: several boats travelling together, or an after-party on board

Questions about weddings.

Can we hold the legal ceremony on board?
Legal ceremonies must take place ashore. Most couples sign the paperwork ashore and hold a symbolic ceremony or vow exchange on board. We coordinate timings with your officiant or planner.
How many guests can join the wedding cruise?
Up to 12 guests per boat. For a bigger wedding party we run several boats in convoy on a shared route, anchoring side by side, so even a party of 40 or 50 guests sails together.
Can you arrange flowers, cake, photographer and music?
On our motor yachts, yes: flowers and deck decoration, a wedding cake, a photographer and your playlist or live music, arranged with local partners. On the speedboats and catamarans we can add decorations and premium drinks only. Tell us in your enquiry.
What happens if the weather turns?
We watch the forecast with you from about five days out. If conditions are not right we move the cruise within your stay or refund the deposit in full. Wedding days get priority rebooking.
Can we renew our vows on a boat?
Yes, as a symbolic ceremony on board, with flowers, music and a photographer if you like, set up before you board.
How much does a wedding cruise in Dubrovnik cost?
Prices are on request, because each wedding cruise depends on the boat, the hours and the extras. It is priced per boat, and flowers, cake, photographer and music are quoted together in one offer.

More about planning

Planning a wedding on a boat in Dubrovnik.

A wedding on a boat in Dubrovnik is usually a symbolic ceremony or vow exchange at anchor, because the legal ceremony has to take place ashore. Most couples sign the paperwork ashore earlier the same day or before the trip, and we coordinate the boat timings with your officiant or wedding planner.

Guests and boats.

  • Each boat takes up to 12 guests. For a larger wedding party, several boats travel in convoy on a shared route and anchor side by side for the ceremony.
  • You can board at Cavtat, Lapad, ACI Marina Komolac or the Old Port, with hotel pickup on most boats in the Dubrovnik area.
  • Our motor yachts are the luxury choice for a wedding, with flowers, cake and the most attentive service on board. The catamarans add open deck space, with decorations and premium drinks only.
  • On the motor yachts, flowers, deck decoration, a wedding cake, a photographer and live music can be arranged with local partners. On speedboats and catamarans, decorations and premium drinks only.

Timing the day.

A 3–4 hour sunset slot gives time to board and pass beneath the Old Town walls in the evening light. Then you hold the ceremony in a quiet bay and toast on the bow as the sun goes down. Some couples prefer a celebration cruise the day after, when the schedule is calmer.

Practical points: deck shoes or bare feet are easier on board than heels, and a light layer helps on the return run after dark. Photographers and decorations should be booked with the boat, as they are set up before you board.

Weather plan.

We watch the forecast with you from about five days before. If conditions are not right, the cruise moves to another day within your stay or the deposit is refunded in full, and wedding days get priority rebooking.
