When is the best time to set sail in Budva?

The best time to embark on your Budva boat charter depends on the type of getaway you seek! During the summer months of June - August, the average temperature ranges from 25-30°C, with plenty of daylight hours for sailing adventures. The winds for sailing in are generally light to moderate and come from the north or northwest. During the summer, the winds can pick up in the afternoon, with an average speed of around 10-15 knots.

The low season in Budva runs from October through May when the weather is more relaxed, and there are fewer tourists. During this time, the temperature can range from 10-20°C, and the days are shorter. However, this can also be a great time to sail as the waters are calmer.

In addition to the prevailing north or northwest winds, local winds can affect sailing conditions in Budva. One of these winds is the Bora, a cold and dry wind blowing from the northeast. The Bora can be strong and gusty, making sailing challenging. It's essential to check the weather forecast and plan accordingly if the Bora is expected.

Which is the perfect boat type for me?

Choosing the perfect vessel for your holiday can be daunting, which is why we're here to make it easier! Considering how much time you spend on the water will ultimately help. If you plan a day trip around this Adriatic beauty, a Jet Ski, motorboat or RIB will take you where you need to go in no time. We recommend looking into catamarans and yachts for longer charters with family or friends. These are more spacious and will have more amenities for your every need. A sailboat is ideal for the typical sailing experience. However, previous knowledge and experience are useful!
