September on the Adriatic is, frankly, one of the best-kept secrets in luxury yacht charter. The summer crowds thin, the light turns golden, the sea stays warm — and the coastlines of Croatia and Montenegro reveal themselves in a way that July simply doesn't allow. Right now, we have an offer that makes this already-compelling case even stronger.
The Best Way, a Sunseeker 86 based out of Dubrovnik, is available for weekly Croatia yacht charters this September with a 10% discount off the standard low-season rate. For eight guests aboard one of the most elegantly proportioned motor yachts in our Adriatic fleet, that's a genuinely significant saving — and September dates are moving fast.
A Sunseeker That Actually Delivers
There are Sunseekers, and then there are Sunseekers that have been looked after properly. The Best Way falls firmly in the second category. Built in 2009 and refitted in 2015, she carries herself with the self-assurance of a yacht that knows exactly what she's for: fast, comfortable Adriatic cruising with serious style.
The layout is cleverer than it first appears. Outdoor space is generous — sunbathing areas forward and aft, shaded spots for those long afternoon lunches, and a social cockpit that works equally well for sundowners or stargazing. Below deck, four cabins each convert to double-bed configuration, so whether you're travelling as couples or a mix of family and friends, the sleeping arrangements adapt to you rather than the other way around.
Her stabilisers deserve a mention, too. Underway comfort is something guests only notice when it's absent — and on The Best Way, the stabilisers make longer passages between Croatia and Montenegro genuinely relaxing rather than something to endure.
Croatia: Islands, Old Towns, Hidden Bays
Based in Dubrovnik, The Best Way puts you at the southern end of Croatia's Dalmatian coast — and that's an excellent starting point. From here, the Elaphiti Islands are a short hop north: Koločep, Lopud, Šipan — quiet, pine-scented, unhurried. Push further up the coast and the Pelješac Peninsula offers serious wine country alongside dramatic karstic cliffs dropping into the sea.
The Croatia yacht charter experience at its finest is really about this rhythm: mornings anchored in a bay so clear you can see the anchor on the bottom, afternoons wandering the marble-paved streets of Korčula or Hvar, evenings back on deck as the hills go pink. The Best Way's performance and speed mean you're never rushing — you simply have more options.
Montenegro: The Adriatic's Wilder Side
One of the distinct advantages of departing Dubrovnik is proximity to Montenegro — barely an hour's cruise south, and a world apart in character. This is where the Adriatic gets serious: the Bay of Kotor, a fjord-like inland sea ringed by medieval walls and limestone mountains, is genuinely one of Europe's most dramatic anchorages. Drop anchor off the island church of Our Lady of the Rocks, take the tender into Perast for a coffee, then wind further into the bay toward the old Venetian town of Kotor itself.
Further south, the beaches around Budva and the headland of Sveti Stefan — that famous island village connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway — make for extraordinary private yacht charter territory. In September, without the peak-season flotillas, these spots breathe again. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Montenegro is chronically underrated on the charter circuit.
The Crew Makes It Personal
A yacht is only as good as the people running it. The Best Way's crew of four — including a highly experienced chef — has earned consistently excellent feedback through the 2026 charter season, and that matters. A great charter chef doesn't just cook; they shape the whole rhythm of the day, from early-morning coffee on deck to long, lazy dinners under the stars. This crew understands that.
September Offer — Don't Sit on This One
The 10% discount applies to weekly charters confirmed for September 2026, and availability is limited. If you've been considering a private yacht charter in Croatia or Montenegro this autumn — and honestly, you should be — this is the moment to act. Our team can put together tailored itineraries covering both destinations, advise on the best anchorages for the time of year, and handle everything from provisioning preferences to port arrangements.
