Can I sail from Montenegro to Croatia or Albania?
Most yacht charters based in Montenegro are licensed to cruise within Montenegrin waters only and cannot be taken into neighbouring Croatia or Albania. This keeps charter arrangements simple and allows you to explore the Bay of Kotor and Montenegro's beautiful Adriatic coastline without international clearance procedures.
If you're interested in combining Croatia and Montenegro in one holiday, we can recommend specific charter options that are licensed for cross-border cruising and advise on the additional customs and immigration requirements.
