Polyfest

If ethical non-monogamy is part of your lifestyle — or if you’re simply curious to get to know people from this community, hear their stories, discover something new, and explore in a comfortable and safe environment — then you’re in the right place.

The event is open to participants strictly 18+

There are no other restrictions

When forming the crews, the organizers will take into account gender, age, language of communication, and personal preferences to ensure that each yacht has a well-balanced, cohesive, and comfortable group

The key difference between Polyfest and a regular sailing cruise is that our community norms allow nudity and sexual activity in the presence of other participants.

Of course, just like anywhere else, no one ever has the right to touch you without your clear desire and active consent. You’re also never required to watch or be around anything that makes you uncomfortable — you can always retreat to your cabin and enjoy some private time.

In short: if being around naked people might make you feel uneasy, it’s worth considering whether this experience is right for you.

Taking photos and videos during the cruise is welcome and encouraged — as long as everyone’s rights are respected. In particular:

⚠️ Always ask for permission from everyone who may appear in the frame before filming or taking photos

⚠️ Never record anyone secretly

⚠️ Do not publish photos or videos of other participants anywhere

⚠️ Do not film explicit scenes

We’ve deliberately chosen both the boats and the route so that all participants — even those with no prior sailing experience — can feel as comfortable as possible

The waters of Central Dalmatia are sheltered by islands on all sides, and large waves are not expected there. In addition, catamarans are more stable and rock less, and the sailing legs are planned to be fairly short. That said, it’s still a good idea to bring seasickness tablets — though you’ll most likely never need them

There’s no need to worry about anything else. All yachts are certified to the highest seaworthiness standards and are capable of handling storms or even long ocean crossings. That said, we won’t be putting that to the test — if the weather turns bad, we’ll simply adjust our plans

Safety procedures and instructions for using onboard equipment will be clearly explained during the briefing before departure

We’ll mostly be eating on our own yachts

Grocery shopping and meal preparation are organized by each crew independently and at their own expense. The yachts are fully equipped for this: a proper kitchen, cookware, a fridge, and some boats even have a grill!

Of course, whenever we dock, you’ll also have the option to go ashore and eat at local restaurants. In addition, two evening parties with catered snacks are planned and covered by the organizers. Still, most of the time we’ll be cooking together and enjoying meals on our own yachts

If you need to cancel your participation, please let us know as early as possible. We will do our best to find a replacement together.

If a replacement participant is found, they take over your booking, and your prepayment is fully transferred — no one loses out.

If a replacement cannot be found, the following refund policy applies:

• More than 2 months before the trip — 75% of the seat price is refunded
• Less than 2 months before the trip — 25% of the seat price is refunded
• After the trip has started — unfortunately, no refund is available
