Kotor & the old town
The medieval old town of Kotor sits inside a fjord-like bay, with city walls climbing the hillside. Its UNESCO walls reach St John's fortress - the panoramic view over the bay from the top is worth the climb.
Sail the Adriatic the way it deserves to be seen - from your own private yacht in Montenegro. Book a one-day boat rental, a long weekend, or a week-long yacht charter, with a local skipper or as a bareboat for licensed sailors. Boats from a small motorboat to a crewed luxury yacht.
There are few corners of the Mediterranean world where you can sail a fjord in the morning, swim at a stunning sand beach by lunch and have dinner in a walled medieval city the same evening. A yacht charter in Montenegro packs all of that into one of the most beautiful coastlines on the Adriatic - a compact, easy-to-sail destination stretching from Tivat across to Kotor and down to Budva.
Whether you book a one-day boat trip on a quiet sailing afternoon or a full week of crewed yachting, our team will help you find the perfect yacht, design the right itinerary and discover the bay the way locals see it. We have spent twelve seasons matching guests to yachts - and the search for your boat is the part of the job we like most.
From a small motorboat for two to a luxury yacht for twelve, every charter we run is built around the people on board. Tell us how many cabins and berths you need, the length of your trip, and what you want to see - and we will come back with a yacht rental that matches.
We are a Tivat-based yacht charter agency in Montenegro with a curated fleet of yachts and motor boats, professional skippers, and a deep love for the Adriatic. Every yacht charter we run is shaped by the people on board.
Our marina office at O8, BC Ozana sits minutes from the airport and the entrance to Boka Bay.
Sailboats, catamarans, motor yachts and luxury yachts - every boat hand-checked before each charter.
Our skippers grew up on these waters and know every cove, mooring and quiet beach in the bay.
Transparent prices per day, per week, and per cabin. No hidden marina fees, no surprises at handover.
From a relaxed sailboat afternoon to a luxury motor yacht week, we offer the full range. All yachts are based at Porto Montenegro and ready for booking.
Our sailboat fleet covers 38 to 50 ft monohulls - Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria. The classic choice for guests who want to feel the wind and the lean of the boat under sail.
Three or four cabins below - a perfect setup for a small group sharing the cost. The yacht offers a generous cockpit, a deep keel and the kind of quiet sailing experience that makes you forget your phone for the day.
A catamaran is the most comfortable platform on the water - almost no heel, twin hulls for stability, four equal-sized double cabins. Ideal for families and groups who want shade and space on deck.
Eight to ten berths and a big shaded bridge deck. Even on a windless day this boat moves forward under engines without rolling - a sensible yacht for first-time sailing groups planning a longer itinerary in the bay.
A motor yacht or smaller motorboat is the right choice when you want to cover ground. Cruise from Tivat to Sveti Stefan in 90 minutes, swim three different beaches in a day, and still be back at the marina for dinner.
Two to four cabins below the main deck and a generous fuel range. The motor yacht is the boat to choose when your week-long itinerary covers many ports without time to waste on slow sailing legs.
For weddings, milestone birthdays and corporate events we offer a small selection of luxury yachts above 60 ft, available with a full crew including captain, hostess and chef. The most exclusive way to charter a yacht in Montenegro.
Five double cabins, a tender for shore visits and a chef-staffed galley. Each yacht in this category we offer exclusively for one charter at a time, so the whole experience stays private from the moment you step aboard the boat.
Our home waters cover the entire Montenegro coastline - from the inner bay around Kotor and Perast out to the open Adriatic, and south along the Budva Riviera. Every boat in the fleet sails this whole area.
The medieval old town of Kotor sits inside a fjord-like bay, with city walls climbing the hillside. Its UNESCO walls reach St John's fortress - the panoramic view over the bay from the top is worth the climb.
A baroque town of one street with two islands offshore - Our Lady of the Rocks and Sveti Đorđe. The view of the islands from offshore is the one travel magazines around the world print most.
Our home town. The marina here is the most modern on the south Adriatic, with restaurants, cafés and the Naval Heritage Collection right on the waterfront - and offers easy provisioning, supermarkets and a direct airport link minutes away.
At the very mouth of the bay. Its walled old town sits above a pebble beach, the city offers some of the bay's best fish restaurants, and the open ocean is right there for longer day passages along the coast.
South of the bay. Budva offers golden beaches and a busy old town, while Sveti Stefan offers a postcard view - together they cover the south of the country well, and a charter can include both in a single sailing day.
A turquoise lagoon at the tip of the Luštica peninsula plus the historic Mamula island fort. The perfect lunch stop on a long sailing day, and ideal for a swim without too many other boats around.
Six things our yacht charter guests still talk about months after the trip. Each one fits inside a single day on board, and most can be combined on a longer week of sailing.
A short sailing leg from Tivat brings you to the most photographed view in the bay. Step ashore at Our Lady of the Rocks, then sail back along the old town walls of Kotor - a view from the sea you cannot find any other way.
The lagoon at the tip of Luštica looks like a postcard - turquoise water, pine trees and almost no swell. A perfect mid-day swim stop on any sailing itinerary, ideal if you have kids on board.
Some of the best beaches in Montenegro are reachable only by boat. Our skippers know the empty coves locals use - far from the crowded city beaches of Budva town. Bring a snorkel and find your own quiet bay.
Beyond Herceg Novi the bay opens onto the ocean. Catch real wind on a sailboat, watch dolphins, and see the Croatian island of Mljet on a clear day - a small adventure inside a bigger sailing trip.
The Sveti Stefan island village is most beautiful from the water. Anchor offshore for an hour, take photos against the stunning Adriatic backdrop, then continue south along the Budva Riviera at your own pace.
Mamula island sits at the entrance to the bay. Its old fortress walls and the sea caves nearby are a memorable stop on any boat charter - pure adventure, with the open ocean a few miles further out to explore.
The Boka Bay is home to dolphins, sea turtles and rare Mediterranean monk seals. We anchor only on sandy bottoms to protect the seagrass meadows, our skippers brief every guest on no-trace boating, and the bigger yachts in the fleet collect waste at every marina. A small thing, but it keeps the world's most beautiful enclosed bay beautiful for the next generation of yachting guests.
The high season runs from June through September, with peak temperatures and the busiest marinas during July and August. May and early October offer warm sea water, fewer boats in the bay and noticeably lower prices per cabin. For quiet anchorages and the same Mediterranean weather, target the shoulder season - locals will tell you it is the best time of the year to sail.
Three example routes from our most popular Montenegro yacht charters. Every itinerary is fully flexible - your skipper will adjust based on weather, your interests and the time of year, and any boat in the fleet can run them.
A sailboat offers the most authentic Mediterranean sailing experience and the best price per cabin - the right pick if you want to feel the wind. A catamaran is the most stable platform on the water, ideal for families with kids or guests new to yachting. A motorboat is the right choice when you want to explore more destinations in less time. If you cannot decide between them, our team will help you find the perfect type for your group and dates.
Indicative prices for the 2026 summer season - high season rates apply from late June through August. Contact us for an exact quote on any Montenegro boat in our fleet.

Prices include VAT. Fuel, marina fees outside Tivat, end-of-charter cleaning and food are billed separately.
Bring soft-sided bags only - rigid suitcases do not fit cabin storage on most yachts. Pack non-marking deck shoes (or just bare feet), strong sun protection, swimwear, a light layer for the evening sail back, and any prescription medication. Towels and bed linen are included on every yacht so you can travel without the heavy stuff.
Every yacht in our fleet is available with a professional local skipper. Our skippers are STCW-certified, English-speaking and grew up on these waters. They handle the navigation, the mooring and the marina paperwork - you simply enjoy the sail.
If you hold an ICC license and have prior sailing experience, bareboat rental is available for selected sailboats and catamarans. We will brief you on local rules, the boat handover and any quirks of each destination before you leave the marina.
Most marinas in the bay accept day visitors but call ahead during high season - Kotor, Herceg Novi and Porto Montenegro all fill up by Friday afternoons in summer. Anchoring is restricted in some coves to protect the marine environment, especially around Sveti Stefan and inside the inner lagoon. If you sail without a local skipper, ask us for a current map of approved anchorages before you leave the marina.
If you are weighing a Croatia charter, a Greece charter, an Italy week or even a Caribbean trip, here is what makes the Montenegrin coast a unique destination of its own.
From Tivat you can reach a new destination every two hours of sailing - old town Kotor, the islands off Perast, Mamula fortress, Sveti Stefan beach, the Blue Lagoon. Croatia and Greece offer more islands, but Montenegro packs more variety into a smaller area, which makes it ideal for a one-week itinerary or even a long weekend.
Boka Bay is a sheltered, inland sea - perfect for guests new to sailing or for families with small children. Outside the bay, the open Adriatic offers more wind for experienced sailors. You get both options in one trip without having to change destinations, something Italy and Turkey rarely match in such a small area.
Compared with a Croatia charter in August, Boka Bay feels noticeably calmer. The main Mediterranean charter circuits push tens of thousands of yachts through the islands every summer; Montenegro keeps the same scenery without the queue at the fuel dock.
Tivat airport is five minutes from our marina, and Dubrovnik in Croatia is about an hour by road. No long ferry transfer, no third-country paperwork to find your boat. You land, you board, you sail - that simple.
Compared with a Caribbean charter you get history, walled towns and proper restaurants alongside the sea. The fish soup in Perast, the prosciutto from Njeguši, the Vranac wine from the south - every overnight stop in Montenegro doubles as a food experience.
Per cabin and per day, a Montenegro yacht charter is one of the more honestly priced options on the Mediterranean. You pay less than for a comparable boat in Greece or Turkey, and you skip the long delivery passages between charter bases.
A Caribbean yacht charter is wonderful - but you trade walled medieval cities and a real local food scene for white sand and rum. A Montenegro charter offers the rare combination of European history and ocean-class sailing in one trip. The yachting world has many destinations; few pack so much variety per nautical mile.
Most of our boats are based at Porto Montenegro in Tivat, but we can deliver a boat to any harbour along the coast. Pick the option that matches the town you are staying in.
Our home base. The full fleet of yachts is here - sailboat, catamaran, motor yacht and luxury yacht. Walk-in customers are welcome at the marina office, and the airport is five minutes away.
Boat delivery to Kotor old town pier in 30 minutes. The right pick if you are staying in the medieval Kotor centre and want to start your yacht charter at the foot of the city walls.
For southern itineraries we deliver yachts and smaller motor boats to Budva marina. A natural option if Sveti Stefan and the south of Montenegro are the main reason for your trip.
Whether your dream is a one-day boat trip from Tivat, a sailing weekend to explore Kotor and Perast, or a full Montenegro yachting adventure across the bay, we will match the boat to the brief. Twelve seasons of charter experiences, dozens of yachts and boats in the fleet, and one job - to make your week on the water the highlight of the year.
Send your dates →Six hundred five-star reviews and counting. Here are some recent ones from this season.
"We took a catamaran for a week with our two kids. The skipper Marko knew every quiet beach in the bay and the boat was spotless. Best family holiday we have done in years - the kids did not want to come back ashore."
"Booked a sailboat day charter for my partner's birthday - Perast, Mamula, Kotor, all in one day. The price was fair, the boat was new and our skipper made the whole experience feel personal. My new favourite way to see Montenegro."
"As a licensed sailor I really appreciated how smooth the bareboat handover was. Honest contract, transparent deposit policy and a thorough briefing on the bay. Will be back next season for the longer week-long charter."
Most yacht charter days run eight to nine hours during the high summer season. Like any tour by sea, the rhythm is simple: a short briefing in the marina, two longer swim stops, lunch on board or at a port restaurant in a small town, and a slow sailing leg back to Tivat. The sun on the water is no joke even on a slightly cloudy day, so bring a wide-brim hat - the view across the bay rewards you for looking up often.
