Montenegro Yacht Charter
Montenegro yacht charters are growing in popularity just as they are in neighboring Croatia. Montenegro is in the south east of Europe on the Balkan peninsula. It has beautiful lakes, spectacular waterfalls, national parks and many mountain ranges. Montenegro is now becoming one of the most popular locations for luxury yacht charters in the Adriatic.
Experience this amazing superyacht charter destination which many people have said rivals Monaco in some ways.
The independent nation of Montenegro escaped unscathed from the Balkan Civil War and separated from Serbia in 2006. It’s a hotspot destination for luxury yachts to head for and if you decide to sail here don’t miss seeing the Bay of Kotor or BokaKotorska. Here you will see steep mountains, tranquil green waters and a fjord-like landscape. Porto Montenegro has lots of fantastic facilities and has played host to the Boat International Superyacht Rendezvous.
The best time to charter a superyacht to Montenegro
From June until September the weather is warm and dry. These are the quiet months to enjoy Montenegro although the temperature of the waters can be a little fresh especially in June. Mid-July through to August the Adriatic Sea is quite busy with charterers from all over the world.
Where to moor your luxury yacht
Port Montenegro is probably the most well-established marina to moor your yacht. It’s also one of the most vibrant party destinations. Budva and Kotor have limited berthing for yachts however there are other anchorages in the Bay of Kotor. Bigova and Valdanos also offer suitable mooring facilities depending on the weather. While visiting Montenegro you aren’t far from Croatia and even Venice, so take a trip to these two interesting places on your voyage.
Getting to Montenegro
Montenegro has two international airports at Tivat and Podgorica. TIV as it is known has a difficult although spectacular approach having to fly between the mountains of BokaKotorska Bay on the northern coast. These airports can accommodate private jets which is good news if you own a private jet. Take note that foreign-flagged superyachts must have a vignette (permit) to use the waters of Montenegro. The currency here is Euros.
Immigration, visas and customs in Montenegro
As Montenegro is an EU-candidate state, people travelling from the EU, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada don’t need a visa and are able to stay for up to 90 days. Those visitors from the United Arab Emirates and South Africa do need visas.
Departure and taxes in Montenegro
There’s a departure tax of 15 Euros on international flights. VAT is 17% with reduced rates of 7% on some drinks, hotel services and food.
Montenegro is certainly on of the most beautiful countries situated in the Eastern Mediterranean on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. In fact, Montenegro yacht charter is often part of Croatia yacht charters aboard a luxury motor yacht, sailing yacht or a superyacht, and is an excellent place to start or end a Croatia charter vacation.
Montenegro is not only a beautiful area to explore in addition to a Croatia charter holiday, it is also a fascinating country of ancient history, interesting culture and traditions, lovely weather and striking natural beauty.
Even though Montenegro is a very small country, covering only about 14,000 km2, it is full of remarkable characteristics and an array of activities to do and sites to explore.
Montenegro Hot Spots
Amongst the many hot spots to visit while enjoying a Montenegro luxury yacht charter is the Monastery of Ostrog, located above the valley of Bjelopavlici, carved into the rocks and founded by Metropolitan Vasilije in the 17th Century.
The town of Kotor in Montenegro is a fantastic place to start or end an Eastern Mediterranean yacht charter holiday. On the list of UNESCO World Heritages, Kotor offers its visitors wealth of culture and one of the best preserved natural and historical heritage sights in the Mediterranean. There is no better way to enjoy the beautiful charm of the Bay of Kotor than aboard a luxury superyacht while approaching the bay.
Creating a fabulous backdrop to the town of Kotor, Lovcen is a mountainous massive, a symbol of the state and national identity of Montenegro. Mountain of Lovcen is a National Park with Jezerski vrh boasting a mausoleum of Petar II Petrovic Njegos, one of the renowned poets and philosophers of Montenegro.
Ada Bojana is a beautiful river island, created in the 19th century near two smaller islands, after a ship called 'Merito' had sank here. Throughout the years the wreck of the ship and the nearby islands gathered sand and created this fabulous island. From one side there is the Adriatic Sea and on the other, the river Bojana. The sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea side is a great place for relaxing, sunbathing and a haven for sailing. The other side of Ada Bojana, boasts numerous sea-food restaurants and cafes.;
One of the most beautiful bays around is the Boka Kotorska bay, surrounded by high cliffs that mirror in the deep blue water of the Adriatic Sea. Renting a Montenegro luxury charter yacht and sailing through the bay of Boka Kotorska you will come across seven picturesque islands decorating the bay: Sveti Marko, Mamula, Gospa od Skrpjela, Sveti Djordje, Milosrdja, Ostrvo Cveca and Mala Gospa.
Sveti Stefan peninsula is one of the most precious gifts of nature to Montenegro and another destination not to miss while on Montenegro charter vacation. The peninsula offers rich cultural and historic heritage left behind by its original inhabitants. Guests on a Montenegro yacht rental visiting the Sveti Stefan peninsula may want to experience the two beautiful beaches of reddish colour on either side of the sandy isthmus connecting the island with the shore.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Trina: We returned Monday afternoon. The two weeks on board Navilux were simply superb. All as a result of the outstanding service, warmth, and kindness of the crew. Captain Luka found us marvellous secluded anchorages where we swam and enjoyed many meals before moving on to the next spot. Being the Split-Pula-Split itinerary, many of the passages were much longer than any compared to the Split-Dubrovnik-Split rotation. 100 miles one way vs 200 to Pula. Still, the towns we visited were pleasant (although we did not care for Zadar... too large, touristy, etc with no unique charm). Navilux, despite her age, is in very good nick. The Chef, Dominic, is excellent. He caters to all requests: we had a gluten-intolerant person aboard one week, grandkids who liked things simple for dinner, lunch... we had fresh lobster, scorpion fish, monkfish, shrimp both in salad and in pasta, duck breast, pasta w/truffles, risotto and for the 4th of July the crew surprised us with decoration of red/white/blue and flags on the outdoor dining area with burgers, ribs, beans and an American flag cake for dessert. The crew always has a ready smile and friendly greeting no matter what the situation. Service across all areas- rooms, bar service, meals, daily briefing on where to go and timing is without peer. Small laundry items are done once per week at the same time sheets are changed mid-week. Captain Luka has a drone which he uses to take pics during the voyage, which makes for great memories. If we do this again on Navilux, we will most likely limit ourselves to a Split-Split just touring the islands and small bays of that area, which Capt. Luka says we would enjoy. I and all of my family and friends believe Navilux is the perfect size and design ... no need to change. The weather these weeks was quite hot, as you no doubt knew, but aircon worked fine in cabins and on the occasions we had to dine indoors due to wasps swarming from the shore, making outside dining impossible. The new "toys" of sea bobs, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkelling gear all got great use during the trip. In fact, the grandkids spent most of their time engaged with them as well as some fishing... only marginal success, but one grandson caught a fish after dinner on our last evening, so was quite chuffed to end the trip on that note. All of our friends and family gave their week 5 stars... I cannot imagine how this could be improved upon...
Simply top-notch personalized service: From the very beginning of the process matching a boat and location with our party size and desires Trina Howes of Charterworld was outstanding. She had personal experience & was familiar with various yachts enabling our choices both in Turkey and Croatia. I have used her and CharterWorld for 4 separate charters all of which were 5 stars... The process is easy, seamless and each step of the process is easily understood. Trina is available by email and phone during the entire process of investigation, choice and final selection as well as payments and preferences. Highly recommended.
Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!
To the Reverie team: We want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us on this trip. You are the best crew we have ever had on a yacht, hands down. Everything has been flawless. Keith’s food has been healthy, tasty, voluminous, and so varied. The toys and tenders were always ready for us when we needed them, and we loved having 3 Sea-Bobs, 3 efoils and 2 jet skis. Always charged and ready to go, from the moment we woke until we went to bed. Our rooms were cleaned so fast we often wondered if there were fairies who appeared and did it. Our washing was done and returned so quickly we wondered if we dreamed it. Service was perfect (thanks Megan and team!) - always nearby when we needed it, and invisible when we didn’t. We aren’t sure how we will survive at home, and there won’t be a drink, a cold towel and a smile waiting for us. Shane - you found us the best anchorages - exactly where we wanted to be - out of the way, out of the wind, but close to everything. We wanted adventures, and you went out of your way to source e-bikes, which ended up being a highlight. We know it wasn’t easy to find or to get them on and off the boat. The smaller things: remembering everyone’s names; the printed AllTrails maps; taking our kids jet skiing. They have all been noticed and appreciated. We know that it isn’t easy to build a team that can create such an exceptional experience. Congratulations to everyone on board - including those behind the scenes we don’t get to see as much. We would love to come back again next year - only if the crew is the same! Thanks so much!
Trina, as you might expect, everything on board was simply a delight. Captain Luca is great (he was first mate on our previous voyages). I did meet Captain Ante, as he was there when I visited the boat to check the location early Sunday morning, so I accompanied him to the new boat he is constructing (to be finished in 2 weeks). A motorboat 50m worthy of Monaco! Food under new chef Dominic is magic, so 2 weeks on board was definitely not a hardship. The vessel is in tip-top shape, looking brand new, so clearly well maintained over the winter months. Crew, as expected, were a complete delight, including Axsha, who was on our first charter. He is the most knowledgeable about wines and is truly the chief steward and humorist. So, all was simply wonderful.
Hi Trina, Navilux and her crew are absolutely wonderful! The meals were incredible, and we took advantage of all the water toys! Everyone had an amazing time!
