Kotor
No trip to Montenegro is complete without a day to explore the medieval town of Kotor. With its steep city walls and stunning views over the Adriatic Sea, it’s one of the best places to stop off for the day. This fortified town is known for its winding streets and medieval square, and you’ll find many local churches and museums to explore. It has a rich seafaring history, so it’s the ideal place to begin or end your yacht charter in Montenegro. Enjoy dinner at Galion, which offers fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.
Morinj
Located between Kotor and Herceg Novi, you’ll find the village of Morinj. We highly recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner one day. You can enjoy eating fresh seafood at Ćatovića Mlini ( Novak Djokovic was eating here) and trying some of the local wine. You’ll be able to immerse yourself in the local culture here and learn more about the country’s cuisine while sailing in Montenegro.
Herceg Novi
If your idea of a great vacation is learning more about the history of a country, head to Herceg Novi on a yacht charter in Montenegro. It’s based at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, so it is a convenient stop on any trip. There’s no shortage of bars and restaurants to enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner before heading back to your floating home.
Almara Beach
When you think of a European sailing adventure, you no doubt have the crystal clear waters of the region in mind. Almara Beach is the perfect place to relax for the day. You can enjoy swimming in the turquoise water and resting under the summer sun. Make sure you stay until the early evening to watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand after another fantastic day in Montenegro.
Bay of Kotor
When it comes to choosing somewhere to dock for a day to swim or snorkel when sailing in Montenegro, the Bay of Kotor is our top recommendation. This winding bay is part of the Adriatic Sea and is located in the northern part of the country. You’ll love the spectacular views of the coastal towns from your yacht while you enjoy a day in the water or sunbathing on the deck.
Budva Old Town
Budva Old Town is packed full of legends and history. However, it’s also home to some of the country’s best beaches. Enjoy walking around the town’s cobbled streets in the morning. During the afternoon, head to the beach and watch the sunset to finish off your day.
Zanjic
In the summer months, we highly recommend adding a day in Zanjic to your yacht charter holiday in Montenegro. This peaceful fishing village will allow you to escape the crowds at some of the busier stops on your itinerary. It’s also known for one of the best sunsets you’ll ever see in your life. Enjoy watching the sun go down before heading to Mirista Restoran for a traditional dinner.
Perast
The “Venice of Montenegro” is an idyllic town that’s located in the Bay of Kotor. It’s a highlight of any sailing trip in Montenegro, with many attractions for visitors to explore. Enjoy admiring the picturesque church islands within the blue sea from the water, which is some of the calmest in the region. Splash out on a meal at Fish Restaurant Djardin, which offers freshly caught fish each day.
Tivat
As you head further south on your yacht charter in Montenegro, you’ll come to the small coastal town of Tivat. With a population of only 10,000 people, it’s another peaceful stop for anyone looking to acquaint themselves with the local culture and residents. Plenty of yachts stop here for the day or night to shop, dine, and stroll around the town.
Bigova
Our final stop on our ideal itinerary for sailing in Montenegro is Bigova. This small fishing village is located near Kotor. It would be a great place to stop for the afternoon on your way back there. There are some fantastic beaches in this area which don’t attract as heavy crowds. You can either dock nearby for the day or visit directly from the village.
