Yachting in Montenegro is the perfect escape. An escape from reality. From crowded cities. From the everyday.
My first time on a yachting tour, I didn’t know what to expect. With a bag filled with clothes, food and drinks on my shoulder, I stepped on the deck and looked around. That’s when I realized two things.
First, I over-packed. Although, I thought it then, and I think it now – better to over-pack than to under-pack.
Second, this was going to be more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined. A few hours of exploring Montenegro from the deck of a yacht. Reveling in the views, bathing in the sun. A curious mind ready to enjoy the tour, and not a care in the world, even if you over-pack.
What more could anyone possibly want?
Well, a touch of luxury wouldn’t hurt, I suppose.
Basking in Luxury
It is precisely the idea of relaxing in the luxury of the yacht that makes for the perfect experience. First, you get aboard an elegant yacht. Then, you leave your worries behind and get settled. Of course, you grab your favorite drink. And then, you get immersed in the experience.
Relaxing music is playing and you’re lounging on the deck. The sun is setting, painting the views before you in hues of red and orange. A cool drink in one hand, a book in another, and perhaps a camera nearby to capture the views… In short, this is the ultimate indulgence.
Yachting in Montenegro offers you the opportunity to bask in luxury.
No doubt you’ll enjoy every minute of the experience.
Preparing for Yachting in Montenegro
Seneca said: “Luck is where opportunity meets preparation”.
So, if you want to be lucky enough to experience an amazing yacht tour, you need two things. First, you need an opportunity. And, if you’re in Montenegro, then you already have it. Then, you need to properly prepare for the journey.
And no, I am not talking simply about avoid over-packing or under-packing. Sure, those will play a part in the quality of your adventure. But, there are other preparation steps to take as well.
Let us, thus, take a look at what you should do so as to prepare.
All Is Well on the Right Yacht
Remember the description above about you relaxing on the deck without a care in the world? Well, what you need to make that happen is a great deck.
In other words, all will be well when you’re on the right yacht. And on the right tour for that matter. So, you have to choose wisely, because this is what will make or break your experience.
First off, think about the number of people that are coming with you. Sure, you may be looking to spend the day alone on a yacht, which is also a viable option. But, you may also be looking to take some friends with you on this adventure. In any case, knowing the party size will help you determine the yacht size you need.
Fortunately, most great providers will clearly indicate the number of people that a yacht can fit. Thus making the choice easier for you.
Nevertheless, that’s just one factor to consider. Meaning, there are more. For example, if you’re looking forward to relaxing on the deck, you’ll have to check how spacious it is. And how comfortable the lounging areas are.
Then, you should also think about the amenities that are important to you. Do you want an intimate sailing experience, or do you want amazing entertainment?
Clearly, everything depends on your preferences. So, get them straight before choosing anything.
Yachting in Montenegro: Seasonal Considerations
Picture this. You’re all set (possibly with a bag filled with unnecessary stuff on your shoulder) and ready to go. You have your sunglasses and your sunscreen on, and you’re eager to get the journey started. All of a sudden, the weather turns bad and it starts raining. Two things could have happened here.
Firstly, this may be just a quick summer downpour that happens from time to time. And that will end swiftly.
Secondly, you may have booked your tour in the worst possible time. Perhaps during the winter, thinking that the weather will serve you for that one day.
Well, taking the season into account is undoubtedly a must. Still, this doesn’t mean that you don’t have options.
The peak season for yachting in Montenegro is from May to September, with July and August being, of course, the busiest months.
Yet, if you’re looking to avoid the crowds, you can book in April, or even in October. The weather will still be nice enough for the most part. Plus, the experience will be more intimate as there are fewer tourists in those months in Montenegro. On top of it all, you may be able to secure a better deal off season.
Breathtaking Destinations for the Perfect Experience
Sure, this journey is mostly about bathing in luxury. But, it is also a bit about visiting breathtaking destinations and basking in the astonishing views.
The coastline of Montenegro is filled with beautiful places to explore. Amazing coastal gems spreading from Kotor to Herceg Novi.
Think about the destinations you’d like to see. If completely new to the country, do some online research on the places that are worth visiting. Or, better yet, talk to the locals and get their views and suggestions.
Whatever you do, though, remember to check the route of the yachting tours you’re considering. And then, decide where you would most like to go.

Bringing the Essentials
Back to packing once again! While my first yachting experience is filled with amazing memories, I still can’t forget the sight of that enormous bag. Of the heavy burden on my shoulder that was completely unnecessary.
Well, at least my experience is good for one thing. It can serve as a warning to all the inexperienced yachting enthusiasts out there.
In short, don’t pack too much.
But, do bring the essentials. Swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen… Then, leave some room in the bag for a book, or some significant gadgets. Such as your Kindle device, a camera, a phone charger and similar.
Even though I still remember that heavy bag, one thing is for sure. Packing more than you need is always better than packing less than you require.
Yachting in Montenegro – the Perfect Escape
Go yachting in Montenegro and experience the perfect escape. Experience an exquisite, luxurious journey, exploring the coastal gems of Montenegro while bathing in the sun.
Remember Seneca’s words, though, and create your own luck by properly preparing for the yachting opportunity ahead of you.
Plan the time, choose the yacht tour wisely, and remember to pack the essentials.
Then, get on board and leave all your worries behind. Bask in the luxury and make your time at sea count.
