Why Charter Here

Montenegro's coastline is one of the most dramatic in the Mediterranean — a 295-kilometre stretch where mountains plunge directly into the Adriatic, creating fjord-like bays, walled medieval towns, and a landscape of extraordinary intensity.

The Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) is the centrepiece: a series of interconnected bays that reach deep inland, surrounded by mountains rising to nearly 2,000 metres. Kotor itself is a UNESCO World Heritage town, its medieval walls zigzagging up the mountainside behind a waterfront of Venetian palaces, Romanesque churches, and narrow marble streets.

Beyond the bay, the coast opens to the Budva Riviera — sandy beaches, the island-hotel of Sveti Stefan (connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway), and the emerging superyacht marina at Porto Montenegro in Tivat. Porto Montenegro has become the Adriatic's most modern yacht facility, with berths for vessels up to 250 metres and a village of restaurants and shops.

Montenegro charters combine beautifully with Croatia to the north (Dubrovnik is just 20 nm from the border) and with the Greek Ionian islands to the south via Albania's coast.
