When entering Montenegro, it is important to consider the following requirements:

• Cash: Up to €10,000 per family or the equivalent in another currency can be brought in without declaration. Amounts exceeding this must be declared.
• Medications, Alcohol, and Tobacco Products: There are restrictions on the import of these items. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the current regulations before your trip.
• Prohibited Items: These include narcotic substances, weapons (except in special cases), explosives and materials, counterfeit products, and certain types of plants and animals.

For up-to-date information on customs regulations, we recommend visiting the official website of the Montenegro Customs Administration.

Upon arrival in Montenegro, all foreign nationals are required to register at their place of stay within 24 hours. This process is usually handled by the hosting party — hotels, apartments, or marinas. Montenegro charges a tourist tax of €1 per day, typically paid at the time of registration.
Montenegro is known for its flexible visa policy, making it an attractive destination for travelers. Citizens of many countries, including Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, and EU nations, can stay in Montenegro without a visa for 30 to 90 days, depending on nationality. This flexibility greatly simplifies travel planning, especially for those who prefer spontaneous trips or extending their stay on-site.

• Citizens of Turkey and EU countries: Up to 90 days within a six-month period.
• Citizens of Russia and Belarus: Visa-free stay of up to 30 days.
• Citizens of Ukraine: Up to 90 days within a six-month period.

We recommend checking the current visa requirements before your trip.

Montenegro is known for its mild climate, but early spring and late autumn can be rainy and chilly. Here's what to bring with you:

• Spring and Autumn (March-May, September-November): Air temperatures range from 12°C to 25°C. Pack warm clothing, a waterproof jacket and pants, thermal underwear, fleece clothing, and headgear.
• Summer (June-August): Average air temperatures are 27°C to 33°C, and the water is around 25°C. Bring light clothing, short- and long-sleeved T-shirts to protect from sunburn, shorts, and light, breathable pants. We also recommend packing at least two sets of swimwear.

On the yacht, special footwear with a soft, non-slip sole is essential, and you should also bring separate comfortable shoes for walking on shore.

• Yachts are equipped with ample storage space, including lockers and cupboards. However, for convenience, we recommend packing in soft bags rather than suitcases.
• The yacht features a galley with a gas stove and refrigerator, fans in each cabin, and hatches (portholes) for ventilation.
• Bedding and a set of towels are provided on board.
• Consider bringing polarized sunglasses, several pairs of sailing gloves, a waterproof mini-case for documents, and a headlamp — all useful additions for comfort and safety on board.
• Ensure you have sufficient device chargers and a PowerBank. Most yachts have 220V household sockets, but on some yachts, shore power may only be available when docked.
• In your personal hygiene kit, include skincare products suited for prolonged exposure to salty marine conditions. Don’t forget personal medications as needed. If you are prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to bring appropriate remedies.

To rent a yacht in Montenegro, the following certificates are accepted:

• IYT (International Yacht Training) — Bareboat Skipper or higher.
• RYA (Royal Yachting Association) — Day Skipper or higher.
• ISSA (International Sailing Schools Association) — Inshore Skipper or higher.
• Montenegrin Local License (if properly qualified).

Regardless of certification, we may ask you to demonstrate your sailing skills. If we have any concerns about your qualifications, we reserve the right to:

• Refuse to hand over the yacht for charter
• Offer the services of a professional skipper

If you are unsure about your readiness to manage the yacht or feel your experience is limited, we kindly ask you to inform us in advance. This will allow us to provide the best solution for your comfort and safety.
Please take the time to carefully review the Ancyra Sailing Charter Rules for further guidance.

If you are traveling solo and meeting your fellow passengers for the first time on board, it's important to follow proper etiquette to ensure a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

Shared Fund (Boat Kitty):
It is customary to create a shared fund — a collective pool of money used to cover food expenses, marina fees, fuel, water, and other shared costs. The contribution amount is usually discussed as a group to ensure it's fair and comfortable for everyone.

Joint Decision-Making:
It’s common practice to plan routes, stopovers, and daily schedules together. Taking everyone’s preferences into account helps ensure the trip is enjoyable for all.

Personal Boundaries:
Space on a yacht is limited, so respecting each other's belongings and personal comfort is essential. Keep shared areas tidy and be considerate of your fellow travelers’ possessions.

Team Participation:
Yachting is a collaborative experience. While you may not be required to operate the yacht, helping with cooking, cleaning, or other routine tasks is appreciated and helps maintain a friendly environment.

Positive Attitude:
A sailing trip is an adventure filled with unexpected moments. Flexibility and a positive mindset will help ensure a memorable and pleasant experience for everyone on board.

By following these simple recommendations, you’ll contribute to a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on board, making your journey along Montenegro’s stunning coastline unforgettable.
