What you can expect

  • Discover the beauty of the Dalmatian islands on a relaxing 5-hour cruise aboard Polaris, a historic and carefully restored yacht departing from Split.

    Sail towards the island of Brač, where we stop in a beautiful bay for swimming and enjoying the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. Take a refreshing swim, snorkel, try a SUP board or simply relax on board and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    As we cruise towards the island of Šolta, our crew serves a freshly prepared three-course Mediterranean lunch directly at your table. Choose between grilled tuna steak, grilled boneless chicken thigh or a vegetarian option of grilled seasonal vegetables. All main courses are accompanied by Mediterranean potato salad and green beans. The meal begins with a fresh seasonal salad and finishes with a homemade dessert of the day.

    A selection of drinks, including wine, beer, soft drinks, juices, water and coffee, is included throughout the cruise. Alcoholic drinks are served without a fixed quantity limit, while our crew ensures a pleasant and responsible atmosphere on board.

    Our next stop is Stomorska, a charming traditional fishing village on Šolta. Enjoy some free time to stroll along the waterfront, explore the village and experience the relaxed atmosphere of island life.

    We then sail back to Split, arriving at approximately 15:30.

    A boat with a storey

    Polaris is much more than an excursion boat. Built in New York in 1943 as a harbour tug for the US military, this historic vessel has a remarkable connection to the Normandy D-Day era. Carefully restored and maintained, she now offers a comfortable setting for exploring the Dalmatian coast.

    As a family-run business, we take pride in personal hospitality, a professional crew and a relaxed atmosphere. With spacious outdoor decks and a comfortable air-conditioned indoor salon, Polaris offers a more personal alternative to crowded excursion boats.

    Whether you are visiting Split for a holiday or arriving by cruise ship, this island experience combines swimming, Mediterranean food, local island life and a memorable journey aboard a unique historic vessel.
