Montenegro Charter Itinerary

Montenegro Itinerary

Montenegro Yacht Charter
Montenegro packs a great deal into under three hundred kilometres of coast. The Bay of Kotor cuts twenty miles inland between mountains that rise seventeen hundred metres straight from the water ’ not a fjord, geologically, but nobody looking at it cares.





South of the bay the country opens out: a walled town at Budva, an islet-hotel at Sveti Stefan, olive groves at Bar with a tree that has been standing for two thousand years, and a twelve-kilometre beach at Ulcinj that almost nobody outside the Balkans has heard of.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Montenegro; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Tivat

Begin at Porto Montenegro, a naval base until 2006 and now the best-equipped marina in the eastern Adriatic ’ the submarine pens are still there, repurposed. Board, take a cocktail on deck as the mountains go gold, then walk the marina village. An easy, well-provisioned start.

Day 2

Kotor

Cruise deeper into the bay, past Perast and the two islets in the channel, one natural and one built by hand. Kotor is walled, medieval and pressed hard against the mountain. Climb the fortifications to San Giovanni ’ fourteen hundred steps, best before nine ’ and look down on the bay and the yacht from an improbable height.

Day 3

Herceg Novi

West to Herceg Novi at the mouth of the bay, a town of stairs, built by Bosnian kings, Ottomans, Venetians and Austrians in turn, each of whom added a fortress. Kanli Kula is the largest. The thermal springs at Igalo have drawn people since Roman times, and still work.

Day 4

Budva

Out of the bay and south to Budva, two and a half thousand years old and the busiest stretch of the Montenegrin coast. The old town is compact and Venetian. Offshore lies Sveti Stefan, a fishing village on an islet, walled and connected by a causeway, now a single hotel. Beaches, bars, and a late night if you want one.

Day 5

Bar

Bar is a working port with something better above it: Stari Bar, an abandoned fortress town of ruined churches and Ottoman houses set against the mountains, gradually being taken back by fig trees. Nearby stands an olive tree over two thousand years old, still fruiting. A quiet evening at anchor.

Day 6

Ulcinj

The far south, almost at the Albanian border. Velika Plaza runs for twelve kilometres of dark sand, wide and windswept and largely empty ’ kitesurfers have found it; nobody else much has. Ulcinj’s old town is Ottoman, and was a pirate stronghold for two hundred years. Sunset from the deck, and the Adriatic goes copper.

Day 7

Return to Tivat

Work back north with a last swim in a cove of your own choosing along the way. Montenegro is small enough to cross in a week and varied enough that you will not have repeated a landscape. Farewell dinner on the water at Tivat, the mountains black behind the marina lights.
