Boat hire in Montenegro with Click&Boat

If you haven't decided yet where to go on your boat trip, Montenegro definitely needs to be on your list of must-see places. This country is located on the south-eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and borders Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania. Until 2006 the country was part of Yugoslavia, but is now an independent state, and is a candidate for membership of the European Union.

Pure nature, clean and clear sea water and extremely warm hospitality of the locals combine in this place. And renting a boat in Montenegro allows you to see the country from a different angle!

Discover the history and the wild nature of the country. Of course, on a sailing trip you can sail to the coast of Albania or Croatia for a few more days. Note, however, that both countries are not part of the European Union and also have no entry visa requirements.

What season is the best to charter a yacht in Montenegro?

The best season to go sailing in Montenegro is during the high season, which is from June to August. During this time, the weather is hot with average coastal temperatures of around 27 degrees Celsius. The skies are clear, and there is plenty of sunshine, creating ideal conditions for sailing and enjoying the azure blue seas. The high season is perfect for relaxing on deck and swimming in the crystal-clear waters.

However, if you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, the low season months of May, June, September, and October are also great for sailing. During these months, the temperatures are still balmy, averaging around 20 degrees Celsius on the coast, and the sea is warm enough for swimming. The low season offers a more peaceful atmosphere and allows you to explore the beauty of Montenegro's coastline without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist crowds.
