Hop aboard your Montenegro luxury yacht charter and explore the alluring Adriatic coastline, from Montenegro all the way up to Croatia. You’ll encounter rugged islands, rustic fishing villages and medieval towns, all the while savouring the local culinary delights and the warm hospitality of this most friendly culture aboard your Montenegro luxury yacht charter.
Here are all the amazing experiences you can expect, on a weeklong Montenegro yacht charter itinerary.

Day 1
Tivat & Cavtat
Tivat is your Montenegro yacht charter boarding town and is a delightfully vibrant up-and-coming yachting hub. When planning a Montenegro luxury yacht charter itinerary, you’d be wise to plan a few days’ stay in a hotel here before or after your journey, as this will be your unrivalled chance to explore this lesser visited corner of the Adriatic. Take a road trip over the promontory to soak up magnificent views of Kotor Bay from above, stopping at charming seaside villages along the way, savoring delicious local delights and relishing the solitude of this superbly atmospheric place. On the afternoon you’ll be headed to beautiful Cavtat, a compact little gem of a village seemingly hidden in a leafy promontory south of Dubrovnik. Originally a Greek settlement named Epidauros, Cavtat fell under Roman rule in 200 BC and two millennia later it still boasts an enticingly historical vibe. Take an evening stroll along the seaside promenade, splurge on a home-made gelato or enjoy the whole scenery from the comfort and privacy of your Montenegro yacht charter’s top deck.

Day 2
Dubrovnik
A visit to Dubrovnik is arguably the most unforgettable highlight of a Montenegro yacht charter itinerary. With a breathtaking walled historic centre literally jutting out to the sea, UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. It oozes everything that’s so revered about Europe: intriguing Medieval and recent history, fascinating culture and arresting architecture. Stroll the medieval walls of the city at sunset, and spot your luxury yacht anchored a short distance away. Delight your taste buds in delectable fresh grilled seafood and cherish the amiable hospitality for which this country is so renowned.

Day 3
Mljet
Getting off the beaten path on a Montenegro yacht charter itinerary is as easy as stepping off your yacht and straight onto the unspoiled and rugged island of Mljet. This island consists for the most part of a protected national park and offers quite a few attractions. On land, you can visit two inland salt lakes and a charming Benedictine monastery, as well as take a cycling or hiking tour; while off its shores you can kayak, swim, snorkel or paddle board. The deep-blue waters of the Adriatic are unrivalled in the whole Mediterranean and consistently rated the most pristine. For dinner, why not pop in and say hi to Palo at the Ankara Restaurant? He’ll not only seduce your taste buds with mouthwatering seafood local specialties but may also serenade you if the mood strikes. His guitar skills are as legendary as his cooking skills!

Day 4
Korcula
Your next port of call, Korcula, is like a miniature version of Dubrovnik: smaller, more compact and with far fewer visitors. Marco Polo, one of Italy’s most famous ancient explorers, was reputedly born here (let’s not tell the Venetians that!) although why he ever got an urge to leave is anyone’s guess. Korcula is pure Croatian island perfection and a splendid place in which to spend a full day. Historic and bursting with culture, art, and interesting attractions, Korcula is one of the most authentic isles on the Dalmatian Coast. If your timing is right, you may even be privy to a local folk ceremony in one of the many beautiful villages. Go on a wine tasting tour, hike the verdant hills and enjoy frolicking in the clear waters off its shores.

Day 5
Vis
It may be true that Vis is short for ‘vista’, it also may not. But it really should. As you approach this luscious island from the water, you’ll no doubt spot several fertile hills. Tackle a climb here and you’ll be privy to sensational views and a chance to get lost in untamed wilderness and – for good measure – even visit a few local vineyards. Vis is a stunner, no doubts about that, yet its most enchanting charm is a result from its isolation from the outside world until recent years. As a strategic military base, Vis was out of bounds for foreigners until 1989, which nowadays accentuates its remoteness and authenticity. Olive groves, old-world fishing villages and a smattering of shops selling local artisanal crafts: this is Vis in a nutshell. A mystery to both Croatians and foreigners, Vis is the furthermost island from the coastline and, dare we say, the most bewitching.

Day 6
Pakleni Islands
Hell’s Islands, as they are known in Croatian, are anything but hellish. From your yacht charter deck, they may - in fact - appear quite heavenly. Like specs of emerald and gold among a canvas of infinite sapphire, the Pakleni Islands are a tropical oasis in the Adriatic and a true feast for the eyes. Just a swim-stroke away from the harbor of Hvar, the Pakleni Islands consist of 21 forested specks of land, which offer secluded coves, pristine beaches and turquoise waters normally not seen in this part of the world. A true delight to explore both on and off your Montenegro luxury yacht charter, the Paklenis are a popular day trip destination for visitors to Hvar, although most won’t have the luxury of discovering all the hidden treasures on their own private yachts. But you will! Kayak through secluded lagoons, stop over on naturalist beaches (clothing very much optional) and spend hours snorkeling near the shore, before enjoying a deluxe beachside BBQ. Life, on a Montenegro yacht charter itinerary, is pretty darn perfect.

Day 7
Hvar
If you were to take all the best aspects of Croatia and Montenegro and plonk them on just one picturesque island, you’d have Hvar. Wicked nightlife, striking architecture, medieval walled centre, wild nature, dramatic cliffs, delicious food and stunning beaches. Need more? You got it! With meadows covered in olive groves and vineyards, fishing villages bursting with delish restaurants and a vibe that’s both vibrant and laid back, Hvar is a kaleidoscope of experiences all bundled up in one superlative island package. Shop, dine, hike, feast, swim, and fish, or spend hours in a shady café just watching life sail by. At sunset, summon up the energy for a challenging hike up to the top of the Spanish fortress. The views, up here, are out of this world.

Day 8
Split
With a heavy heart and almighty melancholy sigh, you’ll conclude your Montenegro yacht charter itinerary today. Luckily, you’ll be in Split, the reputed ‘second best’ Pearl of the Adriatic. After Dubrovnik, Split is the queen of the Dalmatian Coast, a port city that’s actually much bigger than it looks at first glance. Stick to the historic centre, however, and you’ll find Split as romantic and charming as all other port villages along this superb stretch of coast. Meander your way through the ruins and cobblestone alleyways of the 4th-century AD Diocletian Palace and stroll along the seaside where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, grilled calamari and charcoaled aubergine will be competing for your taste buds’ attention. Indulge them…it is, after all, your last day in Croatia.
**A Montenegro yacht charter itinerary can be sailed in either direction and we highly recommend you plan to spend a few days both in Split and Dubrovnik. Both cities are brimming with interesting historical and cultural attractions and make for amazing pre and port yacht charter bases.
