9 Day Croatia Charter Itinerary - Montenegro to Montenegro

You can board your yacht straight away, or you can have a stroll through the white stone streets of the marina village first, admiring the luxury fashion emporiums, sculptural art installations and palm trees lined up along the waterfront. 

Beginning your Croatia yacht charter in Montenegro gives you much more choice when it comes to selecting your dream charter yacht, as the yacht won't need to hold a Croatian charter license if you're embarking and disembarking outside Croatian waters. You'll also get to spend a few days exploring the unspoilt beauty of Montenegro. Your yacht will spend the first night in port and you'll wake up refreshed and ready to begin your yachting vacation.

The city is usually busy during tourist season, so enjoy soaking up the scenery from your yacht and cruise onwards to Mljet, passing by the old monastery on St Marys Islands on the way (you may spot some donkeys roaming around). The island of Mljet forms a national park, which is renowned for its untouched beauty and serenity. 

Find a quiet cove to drop anchor in, and dive straight into the cool, clear water. Swim straight up to shore and spend some time exploring the pine-scented wilderness. The dense forests, slivers of beach and rocky inlets make for great hiking trails, so if you're in the mood you can don your walking gear and spend the afternoon walking around the interior of the island. Your appetite will be whetted and you'll be ready for a sunset meal on board your yacht.

Arrive early at Vis and make Stiniva Beach your first port of call. Tucked in between two narrow cliffs, this beach is only accessible by boat and is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the East Mediterranean. 

Then, pay a visit to the Blue Grotto, a semi-submerged cave illuminated by bright blue water that refracts the sunlight from outside the cave. Take the tender inside the grotto, and marvel at this phenomenal natural wonder.

Vis is perfect for scuba pros, as it's home to a number of sea caves and underwater attractions including several plane wrecks, shipwrecks and sunken archaeological sites. There's history to be seen on land as well, and yacht-goers should visit the ancient World War II bunker and the remains of the Roman Baths.

On the southern side of the island lies the famous beach of Zlatni Rat (or Golden Horn). Closer to shore, the beach is more built up, with beach chairs and bars. But further out, it's quiet and usually totally deserted. Many yachts drop anchor in the waters opposite the beach; from here, you can dive straight into the water and swim up to shore. The beach is ideal if you're keen on windsurfing, with the perfect conditions to master the art.

On the west side of the island lies Šolta. The towns here look lifted from a postcard, so be sure to step on shore to explore. Avoid the main port and arrive by tender at one of the island's emerald bays instead. The cobblestone streets of the main town are lined with lilac flowers and apricot buildings, and it's here you can buy some locally-made honey or traditional Dalmatian wine.

An overnight cruise will take you back to your disembarkation point of choice. Montenegro is the usually the best place to disembark, but it's also simple and straightforward to disembark in Dubrovnik and book a private flight from Dubrovnik airport; just make sure your yacht has a Croatian charter license.

Step on shore feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and filled with precious memories of time spent with your loved ones. Get in touch with your preferred yacht charter broker for more information, or take a look at our Croatia yacht charter guide for lots of useful ideas and tips for your luxury yacht charter itinerary.
