In the Bay of Kotor, seafood often reaches the table almost directly from the sea itself. No restaurant displays, no long supply chains, no waiting.
Oysters here can be delivered directly to the yacht during the route — a small boat approaches the deck about twenty minutes after a phone call. Fresh prawns and fish are picked up from local fishermen in the morning, and an hour later they're already being grilled in a quiet bay.
That's exactly why everything tastes different here.
"Seafood always tastes better when there's one hour between the sea and the plate instead of one day." — Captain Alexey
Oysters from Kamenari
Small family oyster farms have been operating around Kamenari for generations.
They grow European flat oysters — more mineral, richer, and saltier in flavor than the more common supermarket varieties. Their taste pairs especially well with cold white wine.
During the charter, we can contact the farm in advance, and a small boat will deliver the oysters directly to the yacht.
How We Serve Them
Usually we serve them:
on ice
with lemon
sometimes with a few drops of Tabasco
and chilled white wine
No complicated presentation or heavy sauces — everything stays simple and fresh.
Prawns and the Catch of the Day
While cruising through the bay, we sometimes stop by local fishermen for fresh prawns, langoustines, or the morning catch.
Most often this includes:
tiger prawns
dorado
sea bass
mussels
or whatever local fishermen caught that morning
Most of the seafood is prepared directly onboard — usually grilled while anchored in a calm bay.
For many guests, this becomes one of the most memorable moments of the day: the sea around you, warm breeze, a glass of cold wine, and seafood that was still in the water earlier that morning.
What Else Is Worth Trying
Besides oysters, guests often order:
mussels cooked in white wine
grilled fish
local cheese and pršut platters
seasonal fruit
The menu always stays flexible — depending on the route, the season, and the mood of the day.
Oysters at Sunset
One of the most beautiful options is a sunset stop near Perast or along the Luštica coastline with oysters, wine, and calm water around the yacht.
By that time, the bay becomes quieter, the sea almost mirror-like, and the atmosphere feels much closer to a private dinner on the water than a regular yacht charter.
What People Usually Don't Mention
In July and August, the best seafood sometimes sells out early in the morning — especially oysters and large prawns. Restaurants and yachts often reserve them in advance.
So if you'd like oysters or specific seafood during your charter, it's best to mention it while booking.
And one more thing: local flat oysters taste very different from the sweeter Japanese or French varieties many guests are used to. They are saltier, more mineral, and distinctly "of the sea."
How to Add It to Your Charter
If you'd like to include oysters, prawns, or a seafood BBQ in your route, simply let us know in advance.
We'll contact the farms and fishermen before departure, prepare everything ahead of time, and naturally build it into your day on the water.
