Porto Montenegro: Marina of the Week


Porto Montenegro – Tivat (Montenegro)

Montenegro is a European state situated on the Balkan peninsula surrounded by Serbia, Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Adriatic Sea. It is a land of contrasts, in which the sea and mountains meet giving live to a territory that mixes antique traditions with the spirit of innovation and modernity worthy of the best tourist locations. According to an ancient legend, the bag of God ripped when it was above Montenegro and all its wonderful contents fell onto this beautiful country. Thanks to the quickly changing scenery Montenegro is the ideal place for every type of holiday: perfect for those who want to spend their free time having fun on the small beaches along the coast as well as the more adventurous who want to enter into the luxurious and uncontaminated nature and discover the history, culture and the art of this small pearl in the Adriatic Sea.


 


The territory is easily reachable by sea thanks to the numerous marinas that exist. Among these one of the most impressive and well equipped is the marina of Tivat with the luxurious Porto Montenegro which was built in 2009 and nominated on 21st January 2015 as the THYA Superyacht Marina of the Year 2015 by the Yacht Harbour Association. The port has around 400 berths, with a maximum length allowed of 180 metres, which covers the largest yachts currently in circulation. Porto Montenegro has also been awarded the maximum 5 Gold Anchors, that recognises the quality of service and the operating standards of the sector. The reasons that Porto Montenegro received this award were, other than its great location (located in the bay of Kotor, a Unesco world heritage site), its respect for the environment (certification UNI EN ISO 14001 and ISO 9001: 2008 for the protection of the environment and the quality of management) and the high quality of the services offered, among which, the 24hr assistance provided to the ship owners, which is in place to aid the crews of yachts in every way imaginable from getting through customs to renting a car or a place to stay. As well as this, Porto Montenegro has been classified as the best port to stay in by Superyacht thanks to the presence of numerous boutiques, shops selling nautical equipment, brokerage houses, beauty centres, hairdressers, furniture shops and various spaces dedicated to the recreational activity: a sports club with gym, pilates and yoga, tennis and squash courts, bowling and much more.
