Book your sailing holidays on crystal clear waters.
If you imagine waking up in a quiet bay surrounded by dramatic mountains, sailing past medieval stone villages, and enjoying the charm of the Adriatic without the crowds, then a sailing holiday in Montenegro is your perfect match.
Nestled between Croatia and Albania, Montenegro is one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets for yacht charters.
With its spectacular fjord-like Bay of Kotor, calm seas, and short distances between picturesque coastal towns, Montenegro offers a uniquely relaxing and culturally rich sailing experience.
Charter a yacht with Tubber and explore this rising star of European sailing.
Montenegro is easily accessible with direct flights from across Europe to the following key airports:
Tivat Airport (TIV): Only 10 minutes from Porto Montenegro and ideal for Kotor Bay charters.
Podgorica Airport (TGD): Around 1.5 hours by road to the coast.
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) in Croatia: Just 30–45 minutes by car to the Montenegrin border and ideal for combined Croatia–Montenegro charters.
Tubber offers a seamless transfer service to your marina, ensuring your arrival is effortless and your sailing holiday begins in comfort.
Montenegro may be small in size, but it offers all the sailing variety you need.
For those with sailing experience, a bareboat charter lets you explore Montenegro’s unspoiled coast at your own pace. Discover the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, visit UNESCO-listed towns like Perast and drop anchor in secluded coves near the Lustica Peninsula.
Relax and let an experienced local skipper guide you through Montenegro’s waters. Skippers know the best anchorages, historic sites, and quiet swimming spots. They can even help you cross into Croatian waters if you're planning a cross-border itinerary.
Experience five-star comfort on the Adriatic with a fully crewed yacht. Your team handles all navigation, meals, and service, leaving you to soak in the views, enjoy gourmet meals onboard, and indulge in Montenegro’s refined coastal lifestyle.
Montenegro’s sailing season runs from May to October.
May & June: Warm temperatures and quieter marinas.
July & August: Peak summer season with vibrant nightlife and festivals.
September & October: Pleasant weather and fewer crowds, perfect for relaxed sailing.
Summer temperatures average 26–31°C with mild breezes and clear skies—ideal for days on deck and evenings under the stars.
Montenegro is beginner-friendly, yet captivating enough for seasoned sailors.
The Bay of Kotor is a perfect starting ground. Its protected waters, short distances, and well-equipped marinas make it suitable for novice sailors and families. The area offers calm sailing with light winds, typically 2–4 Beaufort in summer.
More experienced sailors can explore Montenegro’s open coastline or plan a cross-border route into southern Croatia. The coastal stretch toward Ulcinj and Bar offers deeper waters and more dynamic sailing conditions, while strong afternoon winds can offer excitement without the hazards of rough seas.
Montenegro’s coastline may be short, but it’s packed with historic charm, natural beauty, and local flavour:
Kotor: A UNESCO gem with winding streets and a striking mountainous backdrop.
Herceg Novi: Known for its fortresses, wellness resorts, and sunny promenade.
Tivat: Home to the luxurious Porto Montenegro marina and trendy bars.
Budva: Montenegro’s answer to the Riviera, blending medieval walls with beach clubs.

Each port of call offers a different atmosphere—from laid-back fishing villages to upscale coastal hotspots.
Montenegrin cuisine blends Mediterranean and Balkan influences, offering fresh and hearty flavours:
Njeguški pršut: Local dry-cured ham, often served with cheese and olives.
Black risotto (crni rižot): Made with squid ink and freshly caught seafood.
Grilled octopus: Often served in olive oil, garlic, and lemon.
Buzara: A fragrant shellfish stew made with white wine, garlic, and herbs.
