Montenegro

Begin your extraordinary yacht charter with a touch of elegance in Montenegro, where the pristine white stone streets of the marina village invite exploration. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, surrounded by luxury fashion boutiques, captivating art installations, and lush palm trees that create an atmosphere of sophistication.

Starting your journey in Montenegro offers the added advantage of a wider selection of charter yachts, as the region doesn't require a Croatian charter license for embarking and disembarking in non-Croatian waters. This allows you to spend your first few days exploring the untouched beauty of Montenegro before setting sail toward Croatia. After anchoring in port for the first night, wake up refreshed and ready to embark on a yachting adventure that promises both tranquility and discovery.

Montenegro - Bay of Kotor, Budva, Sveti Nikola

Start your day aboard the yacht with a leisurely breakfast as you cruise through the stunning Bay of Kotor. The bay is framed by towering pine-covered mountains, and the serene azure waters provide a perfect backdrop to the red-roofed towns and striking Gothic architecture that line the shore. Continue your exploration by visiting Our Lady of the Rocks, a small man-made island home to a beautiful blue-domed chapel, which stands as a testament to Montenegro's rich maritime heritage.

As you leave the bay, sail along the coastline to the charming town of Budva. Here, take a tender to the beach near the Old Town, where the famous Ballet Dancer Statue stands gracefully on the rocks with a mesmerizing view of the sea. After soaking in the sights, head toward Sveti Nikola Island for a peaceful escape. While it is a popular destination for tourists, your yacht allows you to find a secluded cove for a private and serene beach picnic. Before departing Budva, don’t miss the chance to cruise by the iconic private island of Sveti Stefan, a highlight of Montenegro's coastline.

Dubrovnik & Mljet

Your Croatian yacht charter begins in the iconic city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its medieval architecture and dramatic stone walls. Famously featured in "Game of Thrones", Dubrovnik’s 16th-century battlements create a stunning view from the water, offering a taste of history and grandeur as you cruise along the coastline. While the city can be crowded with tourists, enjoy the serene perspective from your yacht, capturing the beauty of its historic walls and red-tiled roofs.

Next, set sail toward the tranquil island of Mljet, known for its pristine landscapes and protected national park. As you approach, take in the sight of St. Mary's Island, where a quaint monastery and roaming donkeys create a picturesque scene. On Mljet, anchor in a peaceful cove and dive into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim. Spend your day exploring the island's lush pine forests, hidden beaches, and rocky inlets, perfect for hiking. By the time the sun begins to set, return to your yacht for a relaxing evening meal, reflecting on a day of serenity and natural beauty.

Korcula & Lastovo

Korčula’s southern side offers a tranquil escape, where the serene shores of Prizba and Potima provide excellent opportunities for water sports. After a leisurely lunch on deck, take advantage of the crystal-clear waters to enjoy seabobs, jet skis, or windsurfing. For a quieter retreat, head to Pupnatska Luka, one of the island’s most picturesque bays. Relax on the crescent-shaped beach, surrounded by lush forests, or glide across the water in kayaks, inhaling the fresh pine-scented air while basking in the sun.

From Korčula, continue your journey to Lastovo, a peaceful island that is part of a national park and home to fewer than 100 residents. This unspoiled paradise features charming chapels and stunning Venetian architecture, a reminder of the island's Catholic heritage. With its untouched beauty and rich history, Lastovo offers a perfect blend of exploration and tranquility.

Vis

Continue your journey on the fifth day with a visit to Vis and the nearby islet of Biševo, famous as filming locations for "Mamma Mia 2", a true testament to their natural beauty.

Start your day early by heading to Stiniva Beach, often cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Eastern Mediterranean. Accessible only by boat and nestled between two towering cliffs, it offers a serene and breathtaking experience. After a swim in the crystal-clear waters, take the tender to explore the Blue Grotto on the nearby islet of Biševo. The semi-submerged cave is illuminated by bright blue light, creating a stunning visual spectacle that is unforgettable.

Vis is also a diver's paradise, offering rich underwater attractions including plane wrecks, shipwrecks, and sunken archaeological sites. On land, history enthusiasts will enjoy the ancient World War II bunker and the remains of the Roman Baths, which speak to the island's long and varied history.

Kornati Archipelago

Explore the Kornati Archipelago, a national park consisting of over 140 secluded islets that create a natural haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature. Anchor in one of the peaceful bays and indulge in a beach picnic, enjoying the calm surroundings and the crystal-clear waters. The lack of tides makes this area perfect for inflatable toys, allowing you to float leisurely with a cocktail in hand and soak in the serene atmosphere.

This unspoiled paradise is home to nearly 70 species of butterflies, adding a magical touch to your day of exploration. Beneath the sea's surface, discover vibrant marine life, including rare species of sea algae and coral formations. The waters here are perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving, offering a chance to experience the underwater wonders of the archipelago. Keep in mind that motor yachts are prohibited from anchoring in certain areas, so tender exploration is the ideal way to fully embrace the beauty of this extraordinary destination.

Brac

Sail to Zlatni Rat, one of Croatia's most iconic beaches, known for its unique shape that shifts with the tides. Close to the shore, the beach is lively with beach chairs and bars, while the further you go, the more secluded and tranquil the atmosphere becomes. Yachts often anchor just off the beach, offering the perfect spot to dive into the clear waters before swimming ashore. Zlatni Rat is also renowned for its windsurfing, attracting enthusiasts who flock to the area for its ideal conditions. 

Next, head west to the charming island of Šolta, where you'll find postcard-perfect villages. Instead of the main port, take a tender ride to one of the island’s emerald bays for a peaceful escape. In the main town, cobblestone streets lined with lilac flowers and apricot-hued buildings offer a scenic backdrop for leisurely exploration. Be sure to visit the local shops to sample traditional Dalmatian honey and wine, which provide a taste of the island's rich culinary heritage.

Paklinski Islands

Adjacent to Hvar, the Paklinski Islands form a captivating archipelago of 16 islands, known for their untouched beauty and seclusion. On the final day of your Mediterranean yacht charter, indulge in the serenity of this Adriatic paradise. Swim between the islands, take exhilarating Jet-Ski rides, or dive into the crystal-clear waters with Seabobs for an unforgettable underwater exploration. The tranquil shores of the islands provide perfect spots for a beach picnic, offering both relaxation and stunning vistas.

For those wishing to explore further, Hvar itself is a treasure trove of history and culture. Its oldest town, Stari Grad, dates back to Greek times, originally known as Pharos when established in 384 BC. Over centuries, Hvar has been shaped by various civilizations, and today, it offers a rich cultural heritage and stunning landmarks. As the island played a key role in Croatia’s history, it stands as a must-see destination for history lovers and adventurers alike.
