Boarding in Herceg Novi Marina: Where the Journey Begins
The adventure starts at the vibrant Herceg Novi Marina, nestled at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. The marina is well-equipped and offers easy boarding for all types of vessels, from sleek private yachts to charming wooden boats. As you set sail, the view of the old town, framed by orange rooftops and stone fortresses, recedes into the backdrop while the calm waters invite you further into the bay.
FroggyGourmet can deliver your selected gourmet box right to your boat before departure ideal for a seamless start. Opt for a breakfast box with artisan pastries, fresh fruit, and local organic juices to start the cruise in style.
Scenic Navigation Along the Bay of Kotor
As your vessel glides along the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, you'll witness one of the most dramatic landscapes in the Mediterranean. Towering limestone cliffs plunge into tranquil blue waters, while ancient villages such as Perast and Risan peek from coves with baroque facades and Roman mosaics.
Cruising slowly allows time to savor the sights and your onboard lunch. FroggyGourmet’s “Mediterranean Elegance” box includes smoked fish, marinated vegetables, artisan cheeses, and olive tapenade perfect for an elegant meal served on deck with chilled white wine or prosecco.
Visiting Iconic Landmarks by Boat
One of the great privileges of cruising in the Bay of Kotor is the ability to access cultural sites directly from the water. Popular stops include:
- Mamula Island: A former fortress transformed into a luxury resort, ideal for a quick tour or a scenic stop.
- Blue Cave: Accessible only by boat, this natural sea cave glows with an otherworldly blue light perfect for swimming or snorkeling.
- Our Lady of the Rocks: A man-made islet with a stunning church and museum, just offshore from Perast.
While exploring these iconic spots, keep FroggyGourmet’s “Snack & Sip” kit handy: nuts, dried fruits, olive crackers, and mini desserts, paired with a bottle of rosé.
Sunset Moments and Onboard Luxury
As the day winds down, there’s no better way to enjoy Montenegro’s golden hour than from the comfort of your yacht. The sun dips behind the Orjen Mountains, casting pink and amber reflections across the water. It’s the perfect time for a toast.
FroggyGourmet offers a “Sunset Aperitivo” box with artisanal charcuterie, hummus, olives, and a chilled sparkling wine to set the mood. Whether you’re celebrating a romantic moment or simply indulging in vacation luxury, the ambiance is unforgettable.
Discovering Herceg Novi from the Sea
Your return to Herceg Novi by boat offers one final perspective the old town rising from the slopes, framed by lush hills and citrus groves. The Kanli Kula fortress, Clock Tower, and Savina Monastery all make impressive silhouettes as you sail by.
Disembarking doesn’t mean the journey is over. FroggyGourmet can prepare a take home dinner kit with Montenegrin specialties perfect for enjoying later, perhaps on a terrace overlooking the bay.
