Sailing area Montenegro

The Bay of Kotor or Boka Kotorska is a good starting point for Yachtcharter Montenegro. The bay has a fjord like landscape and ancient settlements sit against the backdrop of woodland and snowcapped peaks. The towns of Kotor and Perast are particularly interesting and well-preserved. Marina Kotor and Porto Montenegro in Tivat are the marinas in the gulf. Travelling down the Adriatic coast: Bigova, Budva, Petrovak, Bar and Ulcinj are all wonderful stops. Bigova and Petrovak are small villages in sheltered bays. Budva and Bar both have marinas and extremely picturesque old towns. The stylish Villa Miločer resort in Sveti Stefan, a former island fortress, is near Budva and was named Hotel of the Year by Gallivanter's Guide in 2010. Ulcinj is the southernmost coastal town and is where the Spanish author Cervantes is thought to have been held captive by pirates for several years. It has been suggested that the character Dulcinea in Don Quixote is named after Ulcinj which used to be called ‘Cita di Dolcinio’. All along the coast, there are plenty of clean beaches and idyllic anchorages. Inland, Montenegro is home to various national parks that contain gorgeous mountain ranges, deep river canyons, lakes and primeval forests. Many of these areas have remained largely untouched and so have high levels of biodiversity.
