Why Go Sailing in Montenegro?
Even though it takes up a small part of the Adriatic Sea (around 300 km), Montenegro sure is a new “it” yacht charter destination, especially if you want to indulge in luxury. The perfect combination of mountains and crystal-clear waters creates spectacular seaside scenery to soak up from the deck of your Montenegrin yacht rental. Rent a yacht in Montenegro and discover the town of Kotor, protected by UNESCO and surrounded by fascinating mountains that rise well above a thousand meters. Settled in a beautiful bay, this romantic old town with St Tryphon’s Cathedral from the 12th century has a rich past waiting for you to discover it. Last, but not least, when you rent a yacht in Montenegro, you will find out that this country has the most yacht-friendly legislation in Europe, so you will be able to sail with duty-free fuel and reduced VAT on marine services.

Rent a yacht in Montenegro and visit its most vivid part - the Budva Riviera with its numerous beaches and ancient walled towns clinging to the rocks. While you are sailing the Bay of Kotor, visit the town’s citadel and four churches, and go to Mogren, one of Montenegro’s best beaches. As well, Budva is widely considered Montenegro's party capital so if you are looking for some fun is a perfect place where to go when you charter a yacht in Montenegro.
Across from Budva is Sveti Stefan Island, a hotel resort that has hosted many celebrities. In the area, you can also find luxury and beautiful beaches to rest on, such as Miločer Beach or Queen’s Beach.
Herceg Novi's 14th century old town is well worth a visit when you rent a yacht in Montenegro, as is Dobrec's pebble beach, which can only be reached by boat.
