The most popular rental yachts in Montenegro range from 9 to 13 meters, accommodating 6-8 people.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Yacht Charter in Montenegro: General Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This guide focuses on chartering a sailing yacht<\/strong> for a multi-day sea adventure, typically from 2-3 days to a week. If you’re looking for a motorboat for a tuna fishing trip or a 4-hour excursion in the Bay of Kotor, this is not the right article for you. Instead, check out these helpful resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Boat Excursions in Montenegro<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Finding a motorboat today is easy\u2014just take a stroll along the waterfront in any coastal town, and you’ll see plenty of options. Most boat owners display their pricing and available routes right there on the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"how](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/yahta-1.jpg\")
These are the typical fishing and sightseeing boats you\u2019ll find in every marina across Montenegro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Since we\u2019ve touched on the subject, let\u2019s mention prices. A motorboat with a 140 HP engine, including a captain, typically costs around \u20ac200-300 per day<\/strong>. The price depends on the boat\u2019s size, onboard amenities, and the specific marina. Captains know all the best routes, secret caves, uninhabited islands, and hidden lagoons\u2014you\u2019ll get to visit as many as time allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this guide focuses on sailing yachts and catamarans<\/strong>, which can seem intimidating at first (and even at second glance!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 12-meter catamaran<\/strong>\u2014a fantastic option available in Budva. Catamarans offer more space and greater stability, making for a smoother ride.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Where and How to Find a Yacht in Montenegro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You have two main options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- 1. Major Marinas<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One way to find a yacht is to visit large marinas<\/strong>, walk around, check out the boats, and ask people if they know someone renting one. Ten years ago, this was practically the only way to charter a yacht in Montenegro.<\/strong> Here are some of the largest marinas with a variety of yachts available:\n
- \n
- Porto Montenegro (Tivat)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Budva<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Bay of Kotor<\/strong> has very few yachts available\u2014it’s mostly motorboats and smaller vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"marina](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/yahta-3.jpg\")
This is Bar Marina. Notice that the boats in the foreground are motorboats<\/strong>, but the ones with masts in the background are yachts\u2014the type of vessel we’re interested in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n - \n
- 2. Online Booking<\/strong>. \n
- \n
- Thankfully, with the rise of the internet, finding a yacht has become much easier<\/strong>. There are plenty of resources available, including specialized charter platforms, forums, and classified ad websites<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Important:<\/p>\nIt’s best to book your yacht in advance<\/strong>. This is a niche market<\/strong>, and the selection of available yachts on the spot is quite limited<\/strong>.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Do You Need a Skipper (Captain)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When renting a yacht in Montenegro, you have two options<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- With a skipper (captain)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bareboat charter (without a skipper)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
In Reality: 90% of travelers opt for a yacht with a captain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Downsides:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A random guy<\/strong> will be onboard with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The captain takes up one cabin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You’ll have to get used to their presence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Upsides:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Skippers are friendly and full of great stories<\/strong>\u2014by the end of the trip, you\u2019ll likely be best friends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- No need for a license<\/strong>\u2014chartering a yacht without a skipper requires an international sailing certificate<\/strong> and a security deposit of \u20ac3,000+<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Less hassle<\/strong>\u2014the captain knows the best routes, marinas, and hidden gems<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can relax and enjoy the journey<\/strong> while the yacht sails itself (well, almost).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Key Consideration:<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you rent a 10-meter yacht<\/strong> with space for 6 people (3 cabins)<\/strong>, one cabin will be occupied by the skipper, meaning only 4 guests can stay aboard<\/strong>.
If you rent an 8-person yacht (4 cabins)<\/strong>, the skipper will take one, so 6 guests<\/strong> can stay on board.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSailing Yacht Rental Prices in Montenegro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is a complex topic. In simple terms, renting a 10-meter sailing yacht for six people<\/strong> (realistically, for a group of four) for a week (7 days) costs around \u20ac2,000\u20133,000<\/strong>. This is the standard market rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"everything](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/yahta-4.jpg\")
Our 10-meter yacht for \u20ac2,200 per week<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s our yacht during one of our trips. It\u2019s a 7-berth yacht<\/strong>, and we chartered it with a skipper for a week<\/strong>, with four of us on board, for \u20ac2,200<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some might say, “That\u2019s expensive.” Let\u2019s break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- That\u2019s \u20ac1,100 per couple<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You don\u2019t need to rent accommodation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You don\u2019t need to pay for sunbeds<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You don\u2019t need to book boat excursions<\/strong>\u2014your yacht is the excursion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For seven days, you\u2019ll sail across the Adriatic on a dream journey<\/strong>. A week in Egypt for a couple often costs even more<\/strong>, but this experience will be truly unforgettable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you spend a week staying in Budva<\/strong>, your expenses won\u2019t be much lower. And that\u2019s just a typical beach vacation<\/strong>, where only the top layer of people gets a tan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"how](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/yahta-5.jpg\")
Recently, I saw an amazing deal<\/strong>: a 42-foot (12.8m) yacht for six people for a week at just \u20ac2,000<\/strong>. This is pure luxury\u2014spacious and comfortable<\/strong>. But that price was available seven months in advance<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Additional Costs When Chartering a Yacht<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of course, yacht rental isn’t the only<\/strong> cost involved. Here\u2019s what else to budget for<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Food for the Skipper<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you go out to eat at a restaurant onshore, you\u2019ll need to invite the skipper<\/strong>\u2014that\u2019s the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, don\u2019t worry. These sea wolves are easy-going<\/strong>\u2014they won\u2019t order lobster and champagne<\/strong> at your expense. They\u2019ll typically get a standard meal and a beer<\/strong>. The restaurant bill is simply split among all passengers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When cooking onboard, naturally, you prepare meals for the skipper too<\/strong>. If you buy drinks, include the captain in your count<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Marina Fees<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Overnight stays in marinas are at your expense<\/strong>. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The longer the yacht<\/strong>, the higher the marina fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For yachts under 10 meters<\/strong>, docking fees are typically \u20ac15\u201325 per night<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Each marina has its own pricing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll need a marina stay when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The weather is bad<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You need to recharge the batteries<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You need to refill fresh water tanks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You need to refuel<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udccc We stayed in a marina three times during our one-week trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Fuel Costs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
You won\u2019t be sailing 100% of the time<\/strong>. Every yacht has an engine, and you\u2019ll use it quite often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udccc Our total fuel cost for a week: \u20ac80.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"yachts](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/yahta-6.jpg\")
Some yachts are well-designed for rentals.
Our 10-meter yacht<\/strong> with three spacious cabins<\/strong> + an extra seventh berth for the skipper<\/strong>. This layout allows for a group of six to rent it affordably<\/strong>. However, yachts like this are rare and booked a year in advance<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc Final Cost Breakdown:<\/strong>
For fuel, marina fees, and the skipper\u2019s meals<\/strong>, we spent an additional \u20ac300 total<\/strong>.
So, our full yacht charter cost for four people<\/strong> was \u20ac2,500 for a week<\/strong>\u2014about \u20ac625 per person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Good to know:<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re a larger group (6\u201310 people)<\/strong>, don\u2019t expect costs per person to be significantly lower<\/strong>. Bigger yachts are much more expensive<\/strong>, and marina fees also increase<\/strong>.
\ud83d\udccc Plan for \u20ac600\u2013700 per person<\/strong> for a comfortable yacht experience.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A yacht trip requires careful planning<\/strong>\u2014it\u2019s not something you can organize last minute<\/strong>. The most popular yachts (3-4 cabins for 4-6 guests) are booked up months in advance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
