| Luxury cruising of Dubrovnik in Croatia
and the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro
|
There is no better way to appreciate the Adriatic than by yacht. The long chain of rugged islands off Croatia’s mountainous coast and the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro make this a cruising haven that is considered to be among the best in the world. Fine deep channels with abundant anchorage and a stable continental climate attract many yachting enthusiasts. Visit one of the quaint little ports, like Sveti Stefan, Budva and Bar, and be amongst the hustle and bustle, or opt for the tranquillity of your own little bay. Montenegro and Croatia are truly Mediterranean. Ashore you will be welcomed in the many bars, cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy excellent local food and wines. The region is proud of the seven hundred wines it produces as well as delicacies such as the various home-made and fermented cheeses and cured meats, like prsut, Croatia’s excellent home cured ham, which are gaining an international reputation.
On arrival at Dubrovnik airport our host greets you and after a short, pleasant journey you will be on board the yacht, moored in the port of Kotor, an ancient walled town. Ideally located, the Bay of Kotor allows exploration of the dramatic Adriatic coastline of Montenegro and Dubrovnik, Mljet and Korcula in Croatia to the north. We suggest detailed seven or fourteen day cruise itineraries that you can be tailor to your requirements. To ensure your cruise leisurely and relaxed the boat comes with a crew of 3, comprised of skipper, cook and stewardess. If you are interested in combining a Croatia and Montenegro cruise, then the cruiser GISELA is absolutely the best and most reasonably priced luxury motor yacht charter you can get.
