Sailing vacations Montenegro

Montenegro sunset

Although small, Montenegro has plenty to explore, from impressive mountains and ancient towns to beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. There’s also the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Perast and Kotor. Be sure to hike up the steep hill to see Kotor’s impressive Venetian fortress with fantastic views across the bay.

From our base is the modern Marina Kotor, you’re a short sail from the city of Budva, where you can enjoy a party atmosphere at Ploce Beach, relax on Jaz Beach or go for an early morning swim at Mogren Beach. During the summer, Budva also hosts a popular city theater featuring many local and international performances.

During your yacht charter in Montenegro, do hop to the island of Katič for diving, explore the fort on Mamula, or find isolation at uninhabited Stari Ulcinj. The 14th century old town of Herceg Novi is also well worth a visit, as is Dobrec’s pebble beach, which is only accessible by boat. 

If you’re sailing Montenegro, you‘ll need a sailing license recognized by the local port authorities. Or you can hire a skipper. Read our guide to sailing qualifications for more information.

Weather insights

When is the best time to visit Montenegro?

The best time to visit Montenegro is between May and October, when the climate is sunny, hot and dry. The hottest and most crowded months to visit are June, July and August.

The average temperature in Montenegro in summer is 81ºF. The sea temperature in Montenegro in summer is between 75°F and 82°F, with August being the best month for swimming.

What are the sailing conditions in Montenegro?

The sailing conditions for Kotor yacht charters are perfect for sailors who actually want to sail in good winds, instead of always motoring through calms.

Montenegro’s prevailing wind in the summer includes the northwesterly mistral, which blows off the land between 10 and 25 knots on a regular basis.

However, the north easterly bora features gusts that can range between 30 and 50 knots. If you’re sailing Kotor Bay (or the rest of Montenegro) and the bura is forecast, find a sheltered anchorage right away. 

The southerly sirocco is warm, but can also bring rain and wind up to 25 knots.

Why should I book with Dream Yacht?

  • A diverse fleet of yachts with a wide variety of models and manufacturers to suit every type of sailor.
  • We have +60 exciting destinations and we’re a pioneer in finding new sailing grounds.

  • You’ll receive a warm and friendly welcome from our base teams who will share regional tips, recommendations and advice.
  • We’re also a trusted seller of new and used boats and an innovator in charter management options – sailing is our business.

What licenses do I need to hire a yacht and sail myself?

The skipper of a yacht has primary responsibility for the safety of the crew and yacht at all times. Many destinations require just relevant experience demonstrated by a sailing resume.

To charter in the Mediterranean, it is mandatory that you hold a sailing license recognized by the local port authorities for bareboat charters in Italy, Greece, Croatia, Spain, Malta, Montenegro and Turkey. Other destinations that require a license include Madagascar, Seychelles, Thailand, Brazil and Sweden. For Belize, the port authority will issue a certificate of competency and an application is made on arrival.

You must take your proof of competency and original certificate with you on your charter. We advise you to contact our team about your qualifications and destination requirements before booking.

By accepting the yacht contract you are confirming that you and/or members of your crew are capable and competent to sail the yacht in the conditions and cruising area of the charter. We reserve the right not to hand over the yacht if, after inspection, it is the opinion that the charterer is not, or may not be competent to be in charge of the vessel.

What is a skippered yacht charter?

A skippered yacht charter is when you rent one of our boats for you and your guests and a professional skipper sails it for you. No sailing experience is needed.

You will need to choose a yacht with a cabin for your skipper to sleep in as they are responsible for your yacht for the duration of your charter. We will find the skipper for you once you have found your perfect destination and yacht.

You will need to pay for your skipper’s food. You can invite the skipper to dine with you on board or out at a local restaurant.

What is the difference between crewed and by the cabin charters?

Our by the cabin charter charters offer exciting destination tours on a set itinerary crafted by our destination experts. You can book a double cabin and private bathroom and will share the boat with other guests who have booked the other available cabins. You will be looked after by a professional skipper and hostess with itineraries ranging from three to 11 nights. There is a set menu and included meals and drinks vary depending on location.

Can you tell me about your yachts?

Our super premier yachts are less than 12 months old from their first charter date, while premier yachts are less than three years old from their first charter date. Our yachts are well maintained and undergo regular, scheduled technical inspection.

In case of emergency, you can rely on our hotline, at any time, seven days a week. If you experience a technical failure affecting major and important parts of the yacht, we will repair the failure within four hours of receiving your call during working hours (8am to 5pm). If you lose more than four hours (during working hours), we will compensate you for one full day. If the repair takes more than one day, we will provide you with a similar boat or compensate you on a pro-rata basis. If restrictions to this guarantee apply in specific areas, this will be detailed during the charter check-in at the base.

Do I need insurance?

We highly recommend you arrange travel insurance in case you need to cancel for an unexpected reason to cover non-refundable deposits. Please make sure you have personal travel insurance that covers sailing.

We will insure the vessel throughout the charter with first-class insurers against all risks, to provide permission to charter as under contract terms and to cover third-party liability.

The following options are available in limited locations:

  • Security Deposit: This varies on the size of the boat and when the boat is returned without damage it is refunded.
  • Damage Waiver: The charterer agrees to pay a non-refundable damage waiver at the time of booking, as well as a reduced damage deposit on embarkation that is refundable upon completion of the charter should no damage occur.

Scandinavia Bareboat

Baja is now my favorite place. There was something for everyone: sailing under northerly winds with mostly calm evenings, snorkeling, fishing, secluded sandy beaches, pelican feedings, being greeted by barking sea lions, and exploring the geology of Ispiritu Santo Island. Dream Yacht Base La Paz provided competent professional support with a well-equipped and maintained boat. We were wonderfully cooked by an on-board chef arranged with Dream Yacht, which meant more free time for all of us. An unforgettable vacation and adventure connected with nature.
