What a crewed charter actually means

Every yacht we offer sails with a crew. That single sentence decides most of what a day with us looks like, so it is worth saying what it covers.

You do not need a licence

There is always a skipper on board, and a hostess. You are never handed a set of keys and left to work it out. No boating licence, no experience at sea, and no need to have done this before.

That also means nobody in your group loses the day to steering.

The route is a conversation

The skipper knows these waters and suggests where to go and when - around the weather, and around you. If the wind turns, the route changes; the day does not.

Nothing is fixed in advance. If you want to spend three hours in one bay because the water there is right, that is a legitimate plan.

What the hostess does

Looks after you on board - drinks, the table, the small things that otherwise fall to whoever in the group is least relaxed. She is included on every yacht we offer.

You can bring your own food and drinks, or we can arrange provisioning, or stop for lunch in a harbour along the way. Say what you prefer when you write to us.

Where you actually go

The Bay of Kotor, Žanjice, the Blue Cave and Our Lady of the Rocks are the usual choices, and there are quieter places along the coast that are easier reached by sea than by road.

All yachts depart from Montenegro; the larger ones cruise the wider Mediterranean.
