Yachting in Montenegro – The Adriatic’s Rising Star
Discover Montenegro, one of the most breathtaking and yacht-friendly destinations in the Mediterranean. From deep fjord-like bays to world-class marinas and hidden anchorages, Montenegro offers everything a yachting guest or crew could desire.
Why Choose Montenegro for Your Next Yachting Adventure?
Montenegro has rapidly emerged as a premier yachting destination in Europe. Located in the heart of the Adriatic, this small but diverse country offers dramatic landscapes, calm cruising waters, and a unique mix of tradition and luxury.
With modern marinas, convenient access for non-EU flagged vessels, and a growing number of exclusive yacht services, Montenegro is now a strategic and stunning base for both private and charter yachts.
Top Yachting Destinations in Montenegro
Bay of Kotor
Sail into the iconic Bay of Kotor, often called Europe’s southernmost fjord. This UNESCO-listed bay is surrounded by mountains and home to historic towns like Kotor and Perast. Enjoy peaceful anchorage, medieval architecture, and unforgettable scenery.
Budva Riviera
Known for its vibrant energy, sandy beaches, and luxurious resorts, the Budva Riviera is a must-see for guests seeking sun, nightlife, and upscale leisure. Drop anchor near Sveti Stefan for the perfect postcard view.
Ulcinj & Bar
Explore the southern coast for a mix of wide beaches, ancient fortresses, and authentic local culture. Bar also offers reliable port services and a gateway to inland excursions.
State-of-the-Art Marina Facilities
Montenegro is home to two of the Adriatic’s most advanced superyacht marinas:
Porto Montenegro (Tivat) – A full-service luxury marina with deep-water berths, customs clearance, yacht refit yards, shopping, and five-star accommodation.
Lustica Bay – A modern eco-development combining a state-of-the-art marina with boutique hotels and fine dining.
Portonovi (Herceg Novi) – A high-end marina and resort complex offering premium berthing, an international yacht club, luxury residences, and direct access to the One&Only Portonovi hotel.
Kotor Old Town Marina – Ideally located at the heart of the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor, this marina provides a historic and scenic setting just steps from medieval walls and local culture.
All four marinas are ideal for long-term berthing, provisioning, technical support, and entertaining VIP guests — each offering its own unique charm and strategic location.
