Yacht charter in Montenegro

Montenegro

Unspoiled coastline, UNESCO old towns

The destination

Montenegro boasts a wonderful variety of landscapes and an unspoiled coastline ideal for yacht charter. The country is known for its beautiful nature, historical charm and cultural treasures, including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Budva, Perast and Kotor, as well as the islands of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George. Distances between the towns of the bay are short, so a week on board can take in medieval streets, monastery islands and mountain scenery without ever feeling rushed, with the Bay of Kotor itself as the centerpiece.

The cruising ground

Kotor

Kotor

The Bay of Kotor is considered one of the most beautiful bays in the region and offers amazing views of Kotor, a stunning medieval town with fascinating local legends. The medieval Old Town, with its winding streets and squares, has several Romanesque churches, including the Kotor Cathedral. You will also find here the Maritime Museum dedicated to the history of local maritime navigation. Don't miss the chance to climb up to the Castle of San Giovanni for breathtaking views of the bay, and be sure to visit the cozy town restaurants serving traditional and international cuisine.

Perast

Perast

The town of Perast is an impeccably preserved pearl of the bay that is famous for its endless old facades. While traveling by yacht, be sure to visit Our Lady of the Rocks, the only man-made island in the bay, which will tell you an unforgettable story. Nearby is also St. George, where the Benedictine monastery is located. It can be viewed while on board the yacht.

Budva

Budva

Budva is the most popular tourist destination in Montenegro. The old town is a maze of Venetian cobbled streets and historical sites, centered on a town core that dates from the 15th century. The 35 km long Budva Riviera is famous for its cozy coves, sandy beaches, capes, islets and picturesque settlements. Here you can visit Lovcen National Park, as well as hike into the mountains of Durmitor National Park with spectacular glacial lakes and snow-capped peaks where the panoramic views are simply stunning.

Why charter in Montenegro

Why charter in Montenegro

Get ready for an unforgettable yacht trip along the ideal coastline of Montenegro, enjoy a variety of landscapes and a real cultural getaway. Few cruising grounds put quite so much in so little space: a fjord-like bay, three old towns on the UNESCO list, two island churches and national park mountains rising straight behind the water.

When to go?

The Bay of Kotor is small water, and July and August show it. The good anchorages are taken by early afternoon, Porto Montenegro is at its highest rates and there is very little spare quay in Tivat, so if those are your weeks, and especially if you need a berth over 30 metres, commit two to three months ahead. June and September are the months to ask about if you would rather swing at anchor than queue for one, and shoulder pricing applies to both. The first half of October still works if you are happy to close the season rather than open it.
