One Week Sailing in Montenegro
Feel free to use our itinerary as an inspiration for your sailing vacation
Sunday
Sail from Herceg Novi Bay towards the Luštica Peninsula and Trašte Bay.
You can anchor in the coves of Žanjic and Mirišta. Dobra Luka is also a beautiful spot for swimming with clear water.
If you prefer a marina, head to Luštica Bay, a smaller marina village similar to Porto Montenegro.
Alternatively, sail to Bigova, a village at the end of the bay. The restaurant Grispolis offers buoys for their guests, and they'll send a tender to pick you up and drop you off at your yacht after your meal.
During high season, it's recommended to make a reservation in advance.
Monday
The Budva Riviera offers several anchorages.
The first is Trsteno, followed by Jaz, a larger bay where you can stay if the weather is calm.
You can also moor near the small island of Sveti Nikola, opposite Budva, on its east side overlooking Bečići.
No trip to the Budva Riviera is complete without seeing the famous Sveti Stefan island. You can moor nearby if the weather is calm, but be cautious as the area is exposed to swells.
Spend the night at the Budva marina.
Warning: When entering the marina, avoid sailing between Sveti Nikola Island and Bečići due to shallow waters. Instead, sail between the lighthouses on course 013.
Tuesday
From Budva, sail towards Tivat Bay.
The best anchorage in Tivat Bay is around the island of Stradioti.
There's a nice restaurant called Vino Santo across from the island, which has a small pier for yachts.
You can stay anchored here or sail to Porto Montenegro Marina, one of the best in the Mediterranean.
Wednesday
Sail from Tivat Bay towards Risan or Kotor Bay, passing through the narrow Verige Strait.
Be cautious, as ferries frequently cross between Kamenari and Lepetane.
At the end of the strait, you'll be greeted by a beautiful view of two small islands near Perast - Our Lady of the Rock and St. George.
In Risan Bay, you can moor in Morinj. Some buoys belong to the restaurant Ćatovića Mlini, known for its excellent food and scenic location.
Spend the night at the town marina in Kotor.
Thursday
Kotor's City Walls are the main reason it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. These unique fortifications were built between the 9th and 19th centuries.
You can visit the walls via the stairs or use an old Austro-Hungarian road near the Northern Gate, which is an easier climb.
Kotor is full of historical buildings. The Maritime Museum, located in an 18th-century baroque palace, is a must-see for sailors interested in history.
Friday
Kotor is also a great starting point for an excursion to Lovćen National Park.
You can take the Kotor cable car, with the Dub station located about 6 km from Marina Kotor.
The 11-minute ride offers breathtaking views of Kotor Bay and takes you to the Kuk station at 1,348 meters.
On your way back to Marina Lazure, stop at Marina Portonovi in Kumbor to refuel.
Fuel station: +382 67 046 564.
In the evening, relax on your yacht or take a seaside stroll towards Herceg Novi.
