Yacht charter in Lazure Meljine Marina

Where do yachts depart from in Lazure Meljine Marina?

Yachts usually depart directly from Lazure Meljine Marina in Meljine, next to Herceg Novi, and the marina is set up as a charter base for sailing yachts. It is positioned at the entrance to Boka Bay, which makes it a convenient first stop for provisioning and embarkation before setting out.

The marina is inside the Lazure hotel complex and offers berth, yacht club and charter services, with the surrounding Herceg Novi area close enough for crew arrivals and last-minute supplies. For charterers, that means a straightforward start rather than a long transfer from town.

What day-trip routes can you sail from Lazure Meljine Marina?

From Lazure Meljine Marina, the most natural day-trip routes stay inside Boka Bay and along the Herceg Novi side of the coast. A typical outing can include a sail toward the inner bay around Kotor or Tivat, with time for swimming and a return to base the same day.

Longer coastal loops are also possible toward Budva, but those are more weather-dependent and suit crews who want a fuller day on a sailing yacht. The marina’s position at the bay entrance gives charterers flexibility between calm bay cruising and wider Adriatic sailing.

When is the best sailing season at Lazure Meljine Marina?

The main charter season at Lazure Meljine Marina runs from May to October, which matches the marina’s high-season period. Those months are the most practical window for warm-weather cruising in Boka Bay and along the Montenegrin coast.

Low season is listed from November to April, so sailing is still possible in the calendar sense, but charterers should expect a more limited season for comfortable day sailing. For most holiday itineraries, late spring, summer and early autumn are the best months.

Do I need a licence to charter a yacht in Montenegro from Lazure Meljine Marina?

Montenegro allows bareboat or skippered yacht charter from Marina Lazure, so crews can choose either a licensed self-skippered trip or a professional skipper. For a sailing yacht, a valid sailing licence and the expected nautical competence are required if you want to take the boat without a skipper.

If you do not have the right licence or prefer local expertise, booking with a skipper is the simpler option. This is especially useful for first-time visitors to Boka Bay, where route planning can depend on wind and local conditions.

How do I get to Lazure Meljine Marina?

The nearest major airports are Tivat and Dubrovnik, which makes Lazure Meljine Marina one of the more accessible charter bases on the southern Adriatic. Reported transfer times are about 21 km from Tivat Airport and about 30 km from Dubrovnik Airport, with some operators listing Dubrovnik at roughly 35 minutes away and Tivat at about 1 hour depending on the route and border crossing.

That location is useful for international arrivals because it shortens the journey to the boat and leaves more of the charter week for sailing. Herceg Novi is also close by, so the marina works well for crews combining a city stay with a yacht holiday.
