More notes about the Marina

The marina of Porto Montenegro lies at the town of Tivat at the head of the gulf of the same name on the coast of Montenegro, around two miles S of the entrance to the Gulf of Kotor further inland. Formerly a naval shipyard named Arsenal, which fell into disuse after the Yugoslav Wars and the decline of the SFR Yugoslav Navy, the site was bought by Canadian businessman Peter Munk and transformed into a luxury yacht marina and a waterfront community, which caters to the needs of growing community of superyacht owners. Tivat’s position, together with the proximity of Tivat Airport, makes it a favourable location for a marina. The marina has berths for 650 yachts, 150 of them super yachts, up to 150m long. The waterfront community behind the main docks features about 250 condo units, conference centre, a market square, an art gallery, a museum, a sports complex and 10,000 square metres of retail space, including a supermarket and a department store. A Four Seasons 5 star hotel is almost complete (May 2013).

Marina radio contact

Call Porto Montenegro on VHF channel 71.

Navigation/Approach

The approach is easy. As you head E down Tivatski Zaliv (Gulf of Tivat) look for the huge crane painted with red and white horizontal stripes that marks the marina. When close to the marina keep an eye out for the pilings for the marina's expansion. They are marked as isolated danger marks

Berthing

Assistance is available from the helpful staff, who all speak perfect english. Tivat is an all year port of entry. You can complete all paperwork at the marina. On approach and arriving from outside of Montenegro, ask the staff if you should go to the customs quay or straight to the berth. If you go to the berth, the marina staff will deal with all the paperwork.

Personal experience

  • We visited in May 2013. It is a fully functioning marina and still expanding. All restaurants and bars in the complex are open for business - and busy. The staff are most helpful. It is worth hiring a car for a day to drive around the surrounding countryside. €45 a day. Duty free fuel needs organising at least 24 hours in advance. The office will help. --–Tudorsailor
  • An alternative to berthing in the marina is the field of eight buoys owned by the yacht club next to the fuel berth. Free if you have drinks ashore at the club; €15 a night if you don't. --Athene of Lymington
  • We checked into Montenegro at Porto Montenegro in Sept 2014. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, driving us around the complex to visit harbourmastor, customs etc and generally helping us with the checking. The spoke excellent English. Note, however, that the marina did charge 1 euro per meter for the privilege of docking at their quay while doing all this. Duty-free fuel is available at about 50cents per litre cheaper, but you need to arrange this in advance. Once you fuel up, you have 24 hours to leave the country. You do need a 'yacht stamp' (literally a rubber stamp for your yacht) to make use of this. --|LifePart2
