Yacht Rental in Montenegro
The Adriatic's fjord, island churches and caves full of glowing blue water.
Montenegro is a small country with one of the most scenic coastlines on the Adriatic. Its jewel is the Bay of Kotor: a winding inlet ringed by mountains over a kilometre high, with the medieval towns of Kotor and Perast on its shores. Beyond the bay mouth lies the open coast, with the beaches of Budva, the island of Sveti Stefan and the sea caves of the Luštica peninsula.
Most guests charter for a few hours or a full day. From Tivat and Herceg Novi it is a short run to the Blue Cave and Mamula fortress, from Kotor to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, and from Budva along the coast to Sveti Stefan. A week on a catamaran or sailing yacht is often combined with a call at Dubrovnik in Croatia.
A yacht trip in Montenegro suits families, couples and groups who want to see the Bay of Kotor from the water, which is where it looks its best. Yacht rental in Montenegro is often better value than in neighbouring Croatia, and Porto Montenegro in Tivat is one of the Mediterranean's leading superyacht marinas, with boats of every class available.

Yacht charter in Montenegro: FAQ
How much is a yacht rental in Montenegro and what is included?
Indicatively from €150 per hour on a speedboat, from €900 per day on a motor yacht and from €4,500 per week on a skippered catamaran. Day charters usually include the captain and fuel for the agreed route; weekly motor-yacht charters often add an APA for fuel and berths. The breakdown is set out in your quote.
Do I need a licence?
No. Every yacht we match comes with a professional captain, who also knows when it is safe to enter the Blue Cave.
What is the best season?
June to September. The Bay of Kotor is calm almost every day, and on the open coast the captain plans around the wind.
Can we bring children and what should we pack?
Yes, cruises in the bay suit even very young children. Bring swimwear, towels, sunscreen, hats and a light layer, as evenings on the water are cooler.
How do I book and what happens in bad weather?
A deposit is usually required to confirm. If a trip is cancelled for weather, a new date or refund is commonly offered, but policies vary by yacht and are confirmed in your quote.
