Yacht Charter in Montenegro

To charter a yacht in Montenegro is one of the most exciting ways travelers can discover this wonderful country in the Balkan Peninsula. Croatia is a short 30 minutes away, with Italy also a stone's throw away. With perfect sailing conditions in the summer, Montenegro offers plenty of itineraries to choose from for a yacht charter holiday in the Adriatic Sea.

Yacht charter prices in Montenegro depend on several factors, such as the type of boat, the rental duration, the number of people on board, and cruising destinations. A 44-foot catamaran with six cabins can cost around $3,100 for a week's rent, while a 289-foot luxury yacht for 12 people on board can cost about $480,000 for a week's rent. A 310-foot superyacht complete with marble finishing, swimming pool, and ensuite facilities can go for $1.2M for a week's charter in Montenegro.

The yachting season in Montenegro falls in the summer, which is the hottest and driest time of the year. The months of May to September offer ideal sailing conditions, with May and June being the peak season for sailing.

A full day yacht charter in Montenegro can start in Tivat, on the Bay of Kotor. Being the country's tourism center, a visit to Budva's long sandy beaches is a top priority on your itinerary. Before you arrive at Budva, however, you must visit the Blue Grottos, where a fantastic array of river caves are found on the coast, accessible only by boat. You can take a kayak to enter the Grottos or swim inside. You can enjoy a few hours on Budva's sandy beaches, explore the town with its narrow streets, the old walled city, or have lunch in the sea's restaurants. You can then head to the island of Sveti Stefan, where you can spend an hour or two on the north or south beaches, which are open to the public for a fee. An ancient fishing village, the island is now privately owned by a 5-star resort, but the island remains a sight for sore eyes and makes for a great cruise along the waters.

An overnight yacht charter in Montenegro can take you to the port town of Bar, where you can discover the well-preserved old town, taking you back in time. Look for an ancient olive tree that's 2,000 years old, visit the castle of King Nikola, and explore Lake Skadar, the largest lake at the Balkan Peninsula. Drop anchor on the Bay and continue your itinerary in Budva, where you can marvel at the narrow streets and seaside vibe with gourmet restaurants and cafes. Enjoy a swim in one of the beaches before you get back on board and head back to Tivat.

Cruising along the coastal villages and towns of Montenegro can take you a week to explore. Therefore, a one-week liveaboard on a private yacht charter is perfect for an immersive experience in this small Balkan country. Here is a sample one-week yacht charter itinerary in Montenegro:

Day 2: Ulcinj

Cruise along the coast and drop anchor in Ulcinj, which borders Albania. It has a lively nightlife scene in the summer, and its Old Town is worth exploring with its stone walls.

Day 3: Petrovac

A day of enjoying the beach is waiting for you at Petrovac, a 600-meter long famous beach.
