Žanjic
We love the entrance to the Bay, where you can enjoy Montenegro’s wild nature and the clear, sparkling sea. Žanjic is our favorite spot to anchor in Montenegro.
Morinj Bay
Nestled between Kotor and Herceg Novi, the village of Morinj is a beautiful seaside spot known for its green mountains, clear springs, old watermills, and rich history. Morinj is perfect for families seeking to experience local culture and unspoiled nature.
When our clients ask for an extraordinary experience paired with fantastic local seafood, we book them a table at Ćatovića Mlini. Over 20 years ago, Lazar Ćatović dedicated himself to revitalizing his family’s 200-year-old mill and transforming it into a world-class dining establishment. Make sure you see it for yourself!
Boka Kotorska Bay
It’s rare to find a place so stunning that it leaves you at a loss for words, but Boka Kotorska Bay is one of those places. The legendary Boka Bay is lined with charming Venetian towns and historic sites, each telling the rich story of Montenegro’s past.
You can explore the medieval towns, citadels, and island monasteries scattered along the coast. Whether navigating the Bay’s narrow roads or enjoying the view from your yacht, the scenery is unforgettable.

Žukovica Beach is a natural gravel beach, with some rocky and sandy areas. It’s nestled along the coast of Grbalj Valley, near Žukovica Cape, and is surrounded by Mediterranean flora. This tranquil spot is ideal for peaceful yacht anchoring, offering an escape from busier locations.
Sveti Marko Island
Sveti Marko Island is located near the town of Tivat in Boka Kotorska. The island is completely covered in lush greenery. In 1962, a tourist village with 500 Tahiti-style houses was built there, and it was a popular tourist destination until the Yugoslav wars. Today, it’s the perfect spot for a swim, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.
If you are a party lover, Nikki Beach Club is close by. It is known for its lively atmosphere and premium service, making it a must-visit destination in Montenegro.
Old Town Budva
The Old Town of Budva is a historic site, surrounded by medieval walls dating back to the 9th century. Originally built as part of a Benedictine monastery in 840 AD, the town was once enclosed by walls and six towers, though much was rebuilt after a 1667 earthquake.
Today, the Old Town is the heart of Budva, where history meets modern life with shops and restaurants lining the streets. Walk through its Mediterranean-style stone houses, small squares, and churches, and don’t miss the Citadel for a unique view of one of the Adriatic’s oldest towns.
Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan is a fortified island village, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway.
Legend has it that the Pastrovici tribe used spoils from Turkish galleons to fortify the island in 1442, constructing 12 houses – one for each family in the tribe.
For nearly 300 years, Sveti Stefan served as a hub for trade and transport and housed the tribal court, the Bankada. The village takes its name from the church dedicated to St. Stefan, located at the island’s highest point. It is the perfect place for a private anchorage!
