Those fortunate enough to have taken a luxury yacht cruise through the Adriatic Sea are the envy of history lovers, seekers of undiscovered, hidden gems, and those who want to relax surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes our planet has to offer.

If you’re looking for a wonderful place to stop on your cruise, consider Montenegro as one of your best options.

Cruising on Board a Charter Yacht into Rovinj, Croatia

Rovinj Old Town, Croatia

Written by Missy Johnston

Cruise into Rovinj Harbor on your charter yacht and enjoy a traditional fishing village on the Istrian Peninsula in northern Croatia where a copper statue of their Patron Saint, St. Euphemia points out to sea when the weather is good for fishing, and into town when weather is poor, and no fisherman should leave the harbor. All locals abide by what their good St. Euphemia tells them and only leave the harbor to fish when the statue, perched on the top of the bell tower of the Church of St. Euphemia on the highest point of land in town, points out to sea. And it is wise, when on a charter yacht, to take heed of St. Euphemia’s message as well as St. Euphemia is the Patron Saint of Rovinj after she in her sarcophagus floated into the harbor sometime in 900 A.D., some say from a spectral ship.

Hvar Island Town in Croatia

Written by Missy Johnston

Planning a trip to Croatia? This beautiful country boasts hundreds of islands, 10 World Heritage sites, and thousands of miles of pristine coast. In particular, five destinations get top marks from visitors. Dubrovnik, for example, is called the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Enjoy European boutique shopping, magnificent palaces, and cobblestone streets filled with living history.

Did you know that most of these locations can also be discovered, explored, and enjoyed on a private crewed yacht charter? In fact, the Blue Cave on Bisevo is most easily seen by private yacht charter. Your captain can arrange for a private tour boat to come to the swim platform of your charter yacht to take you into the beautiful Blue Cave, rather than seeing the Cave by ticket on a public tour boat.

To learn more about some of the country’s top must-visit locations, check out this article. Whichever spot you choose, you’ll enjoy the sublime sights, sounds, and tastes of Croatia.
