About chartering in Godinje

Chartering in Godinje offers a unique blend of rustic village charm and prime Adriatic access, as the settlement sits on a hill overlooking Lake Skadar while providing convenient routes to major marinas like Bar and Porto Montenegro. Although Godinje itself is a village without a dedicated marina, charterers typically depart from nearby Bar Marina, just a short drive away, or utilize the world-class berths at Porto Montenegro in Tivat. From these departure points, a day trip easily reaches the stunning islands of the Boka Kotorska Bay, the historic town of Kotor, or the open waters toward Budva and Khertseg Novi.

The setting around Godinje is defined by its elevated position, offering panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding Montenegrin countryside, creating a peaceful pre-departure atmosphere before heading to the sea. Main departure points include Bar Marina, which handles vessels up to 45 meters, and the expansive Porto Montenegro facility capable of accommodating mega yachts up to 250 meters. These hubs serve as the primary gateways for exploring the diverse waters of the southern Adriatic coast.

Day trips from this region can reach the picturesque islands of the Boka Bay, the ancient walled city of Kotor, and the sunny beaches near Budva, all within a few hours of sailing. The proximity to Lake Skadar also allows for unique inland excursions if your vessel is suitable for lake navigation, adding a distinctive element to your charter itinerary. Whether you aim for open sea sailing or coastal exploration, the waters accessible from Godinje's nearby ports offer endless possibilities for mega yacht adventures.
