Montenegro
Dramatic mountains plunge towards the Adriatic, medieval towns line the waterfront and secluded bays offer shelter beneath some of the Balkans’ most striking scenery. A Montenegro yacht charter combines beautiful coastal cruising with a rich mix of history, culture and understated luxury. Explore the spectacular Bay of Kotor, with its winding waterways, fortified towns and mountain-backed anchorages, or head south along the coast to discover Budva’s historic old town, quieter beaches and charming seaside villages. Sail into picturesque harbours, swim in clear Adriatic waters and enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the water. With dramatic landscapes, relatively short passages and a distinctive blend of Mediterranean and Balkan influences, sailing in Montenegro offers a memorable alternative to the busier cruising grounds of the Adriatic.
Dubrovnik*
Sail south from Dubrovnik along the dramatic Adriatic coastline into Montenegro, where medieval waterfront towns give way to fjord-like bays and mountain-backed anchorages. A Dubrovnik to Montenegro yacht charter combines the historic charm of southern Croatia with the striking scenery of the Bay of Kotor. Cruise past the Elaphiti Islands, explore quiet coastal villages and stop for a swim in clear Adriatic waters before crossing into Montenegro to discover the fortified streets of Herceg Novi, the sheltered waters of Kotor Bay and the elegant waterfront of Porto Montenegro in Tivat. With a rewarding mix of island stops, historic harbours and spectacular coastal landscapes, sailing from Dubrovnik to Montenegro offers a varied Adriatic adventure, bringing two distinctive destinations together in one memorable charter.
