Welcome aboard St. Damian, a boat wedding venue that combines elegance of a boat with the comfort of a traditional venue. What separates us from the rest of the boat venues is that our boats are catamarans which have more space and are more stable on water. That means your guests can move freely on the boat, the front part of the boat can be transformed into a dance floor for your guests, and best of all, we can do all that while sailing!

A wedding at sea is not just about the view, it’s about how the entire day feels. From the moment you step onboard, everything slows down. There’s no city noise, no crowded surroundings, just the open sea, your closest people, and a sense of calm that’s hard to recreate on land!
One of the most beautiful aspects of a catamaran wedding is the journey itself. Your wedding doesn’t stay in one place, it evolves as the wedding is taking place. You may exchange vows in a peaceful bay, enjoy a champagne toast while sailing, anchor for photos and videos in crystal clear water, and party as the sun sets behind the islands.
Each route is customized based on weather, preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create. Whether you’re planning a symbolic ceremony, elopement, or private celebration, a wedding at sea offers a perfect balance of romance and simplicity.

A boat wedding is a ceremony and celebration held onboard a vessel, allowing couples to exchange vows at sea while enjoying privacy and the natural scenery. Unlike traditional venues, a boat wedding offers privacy, movement, and a constantly changing panorama. With St. Damian, your wedding is hosted on a spacious catamaran designed to feel elegant, comfortable, and relaxed, allowing you and your guests to fully enjoy the experience without feeling confined.
Our boat weddings take place in the Split Archipelago. We depart from Split and sail through nearby islands and bays such as Čiovo, Šolta, and the Blue Lagoon area. If you prefer a shorter trip or a different route (i.e. Hvar, Pakleni Islands, Brač island and more), we will arrange it. The price will be adjusted based on your request. The exact route and anchoring spots are customized based on weather and your preferences.
Boat weddings are ideal for more intimate celebrations. Guest capacity for our boats is up to 96 invitees maximum. The exact number of guests depends on the catamaran and the event setup, but the focus is always on comfort, space, and quality of experience.
