MARALA | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Stepping onto MARALA in Montenegro, you are welcomed by Captain Dave Richardson and an accomplished crew of 18 who are clearly at ease with both the yacht and the region. Dave’s 30-plus years as a captain across multiple iconic yachts give him a deep respect for the sea and a practical understanding of what makes a charter feel smooth from a guest perspective. With the technical knowledge of Chief Engineer Manish Patel, Engineer Lee-Roy Davis, and 4th Engineer Travis Johnson supporting his decisions, each departure, arrival, and overnight at anchor is underpinned by robust engineering and sound judgment. On deck, Jamie Dempster-Guerreiro’s experience with classic Camper & Nicholsons vessels, along with the refit and shipyard insight of Eddy Ward and the bluewater miles logged by Romel Tamares, creates a team that maintains both safety and a relaxed atmosphere as you explore Montenegro’s coastline.

In the galley, Chef Richard Eldon leans into the freedom that a Montenegro itinerary allows, using the yacht’s movements and local markets as inspiration for his menus. His background across boutique hotels, destination restaurants, and high-profile yachts means he is equally comfortable presenting a tasting menu under the stars as he is creating a casual yet polished lunch after a morning of swimming and water sports. Drawing from European and international influences, he layers flavors thoughtfully, often finishing dishes with touches that reflect where you are that day. Hand-rolled pastries, house-made sorbets, and breads fresh from the oven become part of the everyday experience, so even a simple breakfast on deck feels elevated and carefully composed.

The interior of MARALA becomes your sanctuary under the guidance of Chief Stewardess Maren Klemm, whose leadership style combines professionalism with genuine warmth. Having spent years overseeing interiors on yachts that mix tradition and modernity, she is well-suited to a classic yacht like MARALA operating in a contemporary charter setting. Maren works alongside experienced crew member Marvin Golina and the rest of the interior team to ensure spaces are always immaculate, from polished woodwork to crisply presented linens and refined tableware. Whether you are returning from a day ashore or staying on board to enjoy a quieter day in a Montenegrin bay, their attentive service and eye for detail make life on MARALA feel consistently cosseting and effortlessly well run.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in Montenegro:
The scene is set in Kotor, where MARALA’s classic Camper & Nicholsons lines contrast beautifully with the steep green slopes and stone-fronted villages that ring the bay. As you settle into life on board this 58-meter luxury crewed motor yacht, your seven-day charter begins to feel less like a route and more like a curated journey, with your Montenegro yachting itinerary carrying you from sheltered coves to open views and back again in an easy, unhurried rhythm.

As each day unfolds, the balance between activity and ease is refined for you by the Boatbookings team working in step with MARALA’s crew. You might choose a day that leans into water adventures and long swims, another that highlights sun-lounging and relaxed lunches on deck, and a third centered on exploring coastal towns and discovering local restaurants. With the details handled behind the scenes, you are free to follow your instincts, adjusting pace and focus as you go, and finishing the week feeling both indulged and refreshed. MARALA is also available for charters in Greece, Croatia, and the Western Mediterranean.

Overview:
MARALA makes an entrance in Montenegro that is hard to overlook, a 58-meter Camper & Nicholsons luxury motor yacht with a classic, ship-like silhouette that feels perfectly suited to these dramatic shores. Seen from the quay or from another yacht, she has the kind of presence that suggests long-range confidence, and once you are on board, that impression is confirmed by her powerful engine and steady motion. A comprehensive lineup of amenities for relaxation, entertainment, and play ensures that every day on board unfolds around comfort and ease, while Montenegro’s coastline provides a constantly shifting stage of cliffs, bays, and historic towns.

By the time the day has settled into its calmer tempo, the upper deck becomes the natural gathering place, with the outdoor lounge inviting you to stretch out and stay awhile. The way the seating and dining are arranged makes it easy to turn a quick coffee into a long, drifting conversation, especially when MARALA is sitting quietly at anchor, and the crew is bringing out dishes that showcase local ingredients. Imagine finishing a bright afternoon with a beautifully laid alfresco dinner, the UNESCO-listed coast of Kotor in the background, and the feeling that there is nowhere else you need to be. When you feel like changing the backdrop, MARALA can ease toward Tivat, where you can step ashore to explore the waterfront, browse the marina, or simply enjoy an espresso or aperitivo before returning to your floating home.

Inside, MARALA reveals a different side to her personality, one that emphasizes calm spaces, considered design, and a sense of refined ease. The interior styling blends contemporary touches with classic finishes, while large windows keep the rooms bright and maintain that connection to Montenegro’s water and hills. Shared areas feel welcoming and well-proportioned, giving you options for socializing, reading, or simply enjoying the light as it moves through the day. Each cabin has been designed as a private retreat with its own ensuite bathroom, so closing your door feels like stepping into your own suite. The master cabin elevates that feeling further, with a king bed, a separate lounge area, a dedicated office, and a beautifully lit bathroom that invites you to slow down and linger.

As the week progresses, the focus naturally shifts between the yacht and the sea, with MARALA acting as both your base and your guide. With water toys ready to go, you can step off the stern platform and explore coves at your own pace, watch fish move through the clear water, or simply drift on the surface and look back at the yacht against the landscape. Every stop in the water becomes part of the story, whether it is an impromptu swim before lunch or a longer afternoon session when no one is watching the clock. Evenings close with you back on deck, hair tousled from the breeze and salt, watching the rugged coastline change color as the sun disappears and the first lights appear along the shore.

Water Toys:
The use of all personal watercraft, including jet skis, is permitted only if the operator holds the appropriate license and complies with local operating regulations. In the Mediterranean, we recommend that all guests interested in obtaining an RYA Personal Water Craft (PWC) license use the water toys onboard safely.
