Owners and charterers wishing to explore the Eastern Med now have a new marina at their disposal, one its developers hope will soon rival those of Monaco and other popular western Med pots: Porto Montenegro. While the marina actually welcomed its first superyachts last summer (Feadship’s Predator was among them), its support facilities, plus the surrounding restaurants and luxury residences that are part of the development, are now fully operational.

Located in the bay of Kotor in Montenegro, the largest natural harbor in the Adriatic, Porto Montenegro is also just a few miles from Tivat International Airport. The Porto Montenegro developers kept the historic elements of the architecture in mind, thankfully, yet included modern-day niceties like pool decks in the courtyards of the residences. As for the marina, it includes the Porto Montenegro Yacht Club and some reminders of the region’s history.
