Skipper in Montenegro

About: skipper
A skipper sails your own or a chartered boat for you: day trips around the Bay of Kotor and along the coast, multi-day cruises and charters, or delivering a boat to another marina or a boatyard. Beyond handling the boat, a good skipper knows the weather, anchorages and marina rules, and briefs guests on safety. Demand peaks in summer, and winds like the bura and jugo can change plans, so flexibility matters.
Frequently asked questions
Does the skipper come with a boat?
Both options are common: some skippers work with their own or an agency boat, others hire out only as crew for your boat or a charter. Check the profile.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The skipper decides on safety and may shorten or change the route in strong wind or storms. Agree beforehand what happens to the booking and payment in that case.
What affects the price?
Length of hire, size and type of boat, route, and whether fuel, berths and the skipper’s food are included. For multi-day trips, ask who covers the skipper’s accommodation and meals.
I’m chartering a boat but have no licence. Is a skipper enough?
Charter companies commonly offer or require a skipper when nobody on board holds the right licence. Confirm the requirements with the charter company before you book.
What should I ask before hiring?
Experience with that type and size of boat, knowledge of the route, languages and qualifications. Also ask about insurance and who is liable for damage.
