Set sail from Durrës on an adventurous northbound journey along the Adriatic, finishing in spectacular Tivat in the heart of the Bay of Kotor. This route is designed for solo travelers aged 20 to 45 who enjoy a mix of real sailing and relaxed coastal cruising — starting with a longer open-sea passage and ending with easy, scenic island hopping.

The trip begins with a true highlight for sailing lovers: a longer offshore leg from Durrës toward Montenegro. This first passage sets the tone — trimming sails, standing watches, spotting dolphins, and feeling the quiet satisfaction of covering real miles together as a crew. It’s the perfect icebreaker, turning strangers into a small team within the first day.

After landfall, the rhythm softens. We continue with shorter, relaxed legs along the Montenegrin coast and into the breathtaking Bay of Kotor. Typical stops include charming old towns and calm anchorages near Budva, Sveti Stefan, Bigova, and inside the bay at Perast, Kotor, and the tiny island of Our Lady of the Rocks. Each day offers time to swim, explore, and enjoy the scenery without rushing.

Life on board blends adventure and comfort. Days are filled with coastal sailing, snorkeling in clear water, paddleboarding, cliff jumping, and learning hands-on sailing skills from the skipper. Afternoons might mean wandering through medieval towns, hiking to hilltop viewpoints, or relaxing on deck with music and new friends. Evenings alternate between simple dinners on board and lively nights ashore in historic ports.

As we glide into Tivat, with its palm-lined promenade and modern marina, the contrast feels rewarding — from offshore sailing to sheltered fjords, from open horizons to dramatic mountains rising straight from the sea.

This is a journey for independent travelers who want a real sailing start and a relaxed, social finish: open-sea adventure, short scenic legs, stunning landscapes, and a crew that quickly becomes a floating community.

Note: If you want to, you can also check out Friday evening instead of Saturday morning - say if you found a cheap flight Friday night.
