A multi-day yacht charter differs from a day out in one way: the evening does not end with a return to the marina. You anchor where the day happened to be good, eat on deck, and wake up in the same cove — no packing, no drive, no hotel.
There are four cabins aboard after a full refit, so a charter with nights aboard takes a group of up to six. Daytime capacity is higher, but only as many sleep aboard as can do so comfortably. We leave from Porto Montenegro and stay in Montenegrin waters — the bay, the Blue Cave, Luštica, the Budva riviera.
What Nights Aboard Change
- Mornings on the water. The bay is at its quietest before nine, while the day boats are still tied up. Sleeping aboard puts you there without a six o'clock alarm.
- A route that isn't counting hours. A day charter always measures the time back to the marina. Here you can stay longer when a place turns out better than the plan.
- Crew around the clock. Captain and steward are aboard the whole time, not on a shift.
- One yacht, one group. We do not book a second charter into the same days. The yacht is yours from boarding to step-off.
Cabins and Life Aboard
Marea is an 18-metre motor yacht, the same one since 2019, fully renewed inside. Four cabins, linens and towels, morning coffee service. Up to 16 guests by day, up to 6 with nights aboard.
Nights are spent at anchor in a cove or in a marina, depending on weather and route. Herceg Novi, Luštica and Porto Novi are along the way, as are restaurant pontoons when the evening is better spent ashore.
How the Days Tend to Go
This is not a timetable but the order that works most often. Days move around and shorten to suit you — we agree the route beforehand and change it as we go.
- Day 1 — the bay. Porto Montenegro, Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, Kotor Old Town. A night at anchor in a quiet cove.
- Day 2 — the Blue Cave. The grotto is entered between 11 and 12, when the light reaches inside and the water glows blue. There is a second, underwater arch beside it that few people know. Then Mamula, and lunch at Fort Rose.
- Day 3 — Luštica. Anchoring off Blue Horizon, swimming, an evening in Bigova.
- Day 4 — the Budva riviera. Anchorage off Sveti Stefan and the beach beyond it that you can only reach from the water.
- Day 5 — back through the bay. Lunch at Stari Mlini or Duraševići with its pontoon, a last stop looking across at Luštica, and back to Porto Montenegro.
Who It Suits
- Couples — a honeymoon or an anniversary, when you would rather not return to other people every evening.
- Two or three families — four cabins cover a group of six without anyone being squeezed.
- Anyone who has already done a day — and found four hours were not enough for the bay.
What It Costs
€3,400 per night for the whole yacht, from two nights. Priced per boat, not per person.
- 2 nights — €6,800. The bay and the Blue Cave without rushing.
- 3 nights — €10,200. Adds Luštica and an evening ashore.
- 5 nights — €17,000. The coast down to the Budva riviera and back.
The rate covers everything in a day charter — captain and steward, fuel along the route, water equipment, guest insurance, water, ice and fruit — plus cabins, linens and towels, morning coffee and crew around the clock.
Food and drinks beyond the welcome glass, marina berths and dinners ashore are charged separately. A grill aboard usually runs €40–60 per guest; oysters can be ordered from the water at Kamenari and brought straight to the yacht.
If you need less than a night, there are day charters from Tivat — from €2,600 for four hours, and a single 24-hour charter is €4,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Six, in four cabins. The yacht takes up to 16 guests by day, but there are six berths, and we do not stretch that at the cost of comfort.
At anchor in a cove, or in a marina — it depends on the weather and how you want the evening to end. Herceg Novi, Luštica and Porto Novi are all on the route.
Yes — that is rather the point. We agree a plan before departure, then adjust it to the weather and to how you feel. The captain has worked these waters since 2019 and has a fallback for any wind.
Water, ice and fruit are, along with the welcome glass and morning coffee. The rest is separate: a grill aboard usually runs €40–60 per guest, and dinners ashore are billed by the restaurant.
July and August dates go weeks in advance. May and October are freer and cheaper, and the bay is calmer.
