The Adriatic Sea stretches over 820kilometres from northwest to south-east and covers an area of 132,000square metres offering a water play-ground par excellence. Montenegro’swater holds great potential and its diverse choices lie adjacent to theneighbouring Adriatic nations of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzego vina and Albania. In terms of diversity and natural wilderness, italso com petes very favourably withthe rest of the world.
The waters of the northern AdriaticSea are characterised by numerous lagoons and pretty sheltered bays. The eastern coastal area that stretchessouth is characterised by hundreds of islands. South of Croatia the watersof Montenegro open up. The superbBay of Kotor, with its 30 kilometres of protected water is the only fjord in the Mediterranean. This stunningboating paradise is dominated by adramatic mountain range that includesthe dark mountain of Crna Gora or Mountain Lovcen, that gives Montenegro its name.
A broad lowland with many partly un-touched sandy beaches stretches alongthe coast south to Shkodra in Albania.In some bays extended lagoons haveformed over thousands of years. NearVlora the Adriatic coast ends andmerges into the Ionian Sea.
The climate of the Adriatic Sea ischaracterised by very warm, dry sum-mers and mild, partly rainy winters. However, only 30km from the coast,in winter an extended ski season pro-vides ample activity for boating crewsand visitors during winterisation. During the summer, stable weatherconditions prevail. The tidal range inthe Adriatic Sea is of minor impor-tance for boats and yachts. Currentsrun towards the north on the easternside of the Adriatic and along thewestern side, the currents run south.
Montenegro
Montenegro’s sunny shoreline is linedwith Mediterranean trees and sandybeaches. These and the massive mountain ranges in the bay of Kotorframe the perfect scenery for a mag-nificent yachting area and for nauticaltourism in general.
During the time of the Roman Empire,the bay of Kotor was used as a stra te-gically important base for navalforces. For centuries the Bay of Kotoralso formed a concessional border between Christianity and Islam.Nowadays it is valued for its naturalbeauty and its historical and culturalsites. The towns of Perast and Kotor as well as the tiny islands of Our Lady of Rocks and St. George arelisted as UNESCO World HeritageSites. These beautiful scenes nowform the backdrop for some of themost exciting racing regattas for sailing yachts in Europe.
Montenegro has been an independentparliamentary country, since 2006.This young but stable demo cracyplaces a strong emphasis on tourismand warm hospitality. Being only afew hours flight from most Europeancapitals, Montenegro today is an accessible, friendly and astonishing attraction.
Every coastal town in Montenegro hasits own character: Herceg Novi in theNorth is our Mediterranean botanicalgarden and the site for carnivals andartists’ creativity. Conditions are idealfor sunbathing, swimming, diving and sailing. Kotor – just 32km fromHerceg Novi - is our ancient town ofmariners, builders and scientists aswell as a walled town with many mu-seums, markets and eclectic cafés.Budva offers outdoor summer stagefestivals and theatre with nightlife andwonderful beaches, luxury accommo-dation and international cuisine.

Outlook Wind & Weather
Historical sites and untouched natureare not the only things that can be admired in Montenegro. New attrac-tions are also being developed. In the bay of Tivat “Porto Montenegro”,one of Europe's most prestigious and well-designed marinas is forminga unique and world-class complex.The initiator of this innovative projectis Peter Munk, one of Canada's mostsuccessful industrialists. Apart from a giant modern marina with close to700 berths, an 18-hole golf coursenearby, an exclusive housing and business complex and comprehensiveinfrastructure are also planned.
Montenegro is continually extendingits offerings in nature and activity-based tourism. These include confer-ences, congresses and incentive tours,wellness holidays to compliment citysightseeing and shopping. Visitors arebeing welcomed to environmentallydesigned “Wild Beauty” resorts with a traditional ambience on the bound-aries of Montenegro's four NationalParks. Just outside our National Parks,innovative holiday villages, integratedinto the natural environment, areplanned. Nature conservation will besupporting sustainable tourism open-ing many unique experiences forwalkers, rock-climbing enthusiasts,kayakers & canoeists, photographers,
bird-watchers and other naturalists.Environmentally, Montenegro’s nauti-cal tourism surpasses internationalstandards through both strict monitor-ing and a shared sense of preservingMontenegro’s beauty.
Montenegro has much to offer to thenautical tourist. Apart from manysmall private moorings in front of taverns and hotels, the larger marinasoffer an increasingly large number of berths. This is in response to the international boating public’s morediscerning tastes. Presently Monte -negro has 2,000 berths for boats,yachts and mega-yachts. The demandfor moorings is predicted to double in the near future (within two years)due to increase demand for permanentand visitor berths. Yacht charter com-panies boat hire stations are includedin this demand and are located in Bar,Budva, Kotor and Herceg Novi.
The Adriatic Sea is a water paradisewith three typical meteorological con-ditions: humid weather with warmsoutherly winds, dry weather withcooler northerly winds and clear stable weather with north-westerlywinds. The southerly winds in theAdriatic Sea are called Scirocco orJugo. On the coast, strong katabaticwinds from the northeast, known asthe Bora, can occur for several hoursor occasionally even for several days.
In the glorious summer months thewind on the coasts of Croatia andMontenegro are mainly characterisedby local conditions that bring land and sea breeze circulation. Thereforeduring the day moderate northwesterlywinds develop that decrease to wardsthe evening. The Burin at night andthe Meastral (Mistral) or the Smoracduring daytime belong to the fairweather winds. The Burin is a landbreeze (the mainland air cools down at night quicker than the air out atsea.) The Meastral or Smorac is a sea breeze (the mainland air heats up quicker that the air out at sea).
An indication for deterioratingweather conditions (the Jugo) are cir-rus clouds coming from the west, theabsence of Burin and Maestral, denseclouds in front of the sinking sun andpale, yellowy or yellow-green sunsets.Another indication for the Jugo is adark horizon to the southeast and aslow falling of the barometer. A signfor the Bora is the Bora cloud rotor.The Newera is one of the thunder-storm winds in the Adriatic region, but these are rare in the summer. Likeother parts of the world, Montenegrois not without unpredictable water-spouts, and these can develop fromlow clouds with a dark underside.

Porto MontenegroHarbour plan Porto Montenegro
Porto Montenegro is located at theforefront to Europe’s “southernmostfjord” - within the Bay of Kotor, nearthe town of Tivat and is easily accessi-ble by air from anywhere in Europe.This development is spearheaded byCanadian gold-mining entrepreneurPeter Munk in partnership with a consortium of international entrepre-neurs (and yachting enthusiasts) thatincludes Lord Jacob Rothschild,Nathaniel Rothschild, Bernard Arnault,Oleg Deripaska and Sandor Demjan.The development is on the easternshore of the bay and runs almost onekilometre along the coast. It occupies a site that from the 1880’s until 2006was used as a base and shipyard for theAustro-Hungarian, and then Yugoslavnavies. That it has been used as a navalbase for more than a century is testi-mony to its ability to provide a safehaven for vessels of all types and sizes.The project will transform a defunctnaval dockyard into a state-of-the-artmarina and residential community centred on nautical lifestyle.
The vision for the development isgrand indeed: to rival Antibes, Monacoand Porto Cervo as the premier port for luxury yachts. As an official port ofentry, Porto Montenegro will representthe pivotal point of maritime leisureand living in Montenegro and TheAdriatic. Central to the rest of theMediterranean, it will also be a majorfocal point for yachting. The amenitieson offer comprise the most extensiverange conceivable. From lodging toshopping to entertainment and culture,Porto Montenegro has been designed to provide an unique and prestigiouslifestyle based on proximity to the sea.This marina will transform Tivat intoan international centre of nauticaltourism and put Montenegro on themap for all aspiring travellers.
Located between Venice and Corfu, in the heart of the Mediterranean and in the centre of one of the most com-pelling cruising destinations in theworld, Porto Montenegro is expected tobe a must-visit destination for yachts
during its soft opening in the summerof 2009 and is sure to be home to someof the most magnificent yachts afloat inyears to come. To date, the refurbish-ment of two massive jetties has beencompleted, and 85 berths are available.Ground has already been broken on the first residential building, „Teuta“,scheduled for completion in the sum-mer of 2010.
Perhaps the most significant of PortoMontenegro’s offerings are its berths.With the first phase of constructioncompleted, the port is well on the wayto providing over 650 berths on 20metre-wide jetties, for yachts rangingfrom megayachts (150m) to productionyachts. Over 130 of these berths will behome to yachts greater than 24-metresin length, the most coveted in Europe.Depths vary from 4.5 to 16 metres. The harbour is very large with a well-protected entrance and is completelysheltered from wave action by break-waters. Its position within the Bay of Kotor means that yacht owners canbe assured their asset is perfectly pro-tected from the elements, year round.
Facilities include fuel berths, marinaberths, a marina club, megayachtberths, superyacht harbour. Electricityand water to cater for the largest yachtsto smaller boats, complete wifi accessand all communication needs are onhand. Porto Montenegro is located tenminutes by boat from the state-of-the-art Azalea Maritime Training Centre,which offers basic and advancedSTCW95 courses year round, includingthose on safety, medical response, engineering and the English language.
The services planned within the portare truly second to none and this levelof service will be reflected in theamenities delivered at the marina resi-dences. Adding weight to the PortoMontenegro offering will be a brandedfive-star hotel with 150 rooms on PortoMontenegro’s waterfront and is sure tobring an additional level of sophistica-tion to the development. These will in-clude residential townhouses and villas
accommodation, an internationalschool, nautical museum, shoppingcentre, fresh food markets, restaurants,bars, cafés and a casino. Luxury retailstores and designer boutiques areplanned around Venice square. A su-peryacht refit and repair facility are inclose vicinity to the yacht harbour.Porto Montenegro will have a vibrantand exciting nightlife along the quay-side next to the marina, in its townsquares and along its main street. Resi-dents will have also access to a plannedprivate yacht club, tennis courts andplanned championship 18-hole golfcourse nearby. The village’s masterplan also includes. This is the vision ofcreating a nautical community com-plete with every imaginable necessityand desire for yacht owners.
Designed in a style that is sympatheticto the architecture of the historic vil-lages that line the Bay of Kotor, PortoMontenegro promises to maintain adistinctly local aesthetic, reflecting thecharm of the neighbouring towns ofPerast and Kotor, with their small piazzas, enchanting alleys and windingcobblestone streets. Porto Montenegrowill also feature a contemporary pro -menade of seaside restaurants, cafes, bars and boutiques.
The nearby town of Kotor is wellknown for its youthful energy andpacked bars, and the Budva Riviera, 13 kilometres to the south is home toseveral nightclubs. For more of a night-club experience, Maximus, in Kotor, isquickly earning a reputation as one ofthe best clubs in the Adriatic and fea-tures well-known international DJs andsouthern Europe’s most popular bands.With a capacity of 3,000 patrons, it isinvariably full each night during thesummer season and on weekendsthroughout the year.

Entry by Sea/Vignette
Beginning in 2009, vessels may pur-chase a vignette that allows unlimiteduse of Montenegro’s navigable watersfor periods from one week to one year.Under a vignette, a captain may suc-cessively alter its passenger list up to four times.
Entering Montenegro a foreign flag ged yacht must directly approach the closest port of destination (Zele -nika, Kotor, Budva from 1st May to 1st November and Bar and Porto Monte negro all year-round) for clear-ance. In strong south or southwestwinds it is not possible to make fast in Zelenika. In this case it is possibleto proceed to Herceg Novi, Kotor orPorto Monte negro with the approvalof the customs in Zelenika.
According to this newly enacted YachtLaw, the skipper must present a crewlist with detailed information on allcrewmembers aboard, valid ship's papers, Captain’s boating licence andthose of the crew in accordance withthe regulations of the state of theyacht's flag, proof of insurance andproof of ownership or a charter con-tract for the yacht. People who are notlisted on the crew list are not allowedon board when cruising. After success-ful clearance a vignette is issued andshould be clearly displayed on theyacht. With the purchase of the vig-nette the yacht has permission to sailthe territorial sea, inland sea area,rivers and lakes of Montenegro for periods varying from a week up to one year. The Vignette counts as proof
of clearance, as proof of the yacht’sseaworthiness and that the lighthouseand administration fees have beenpaid. It is valid from the date of issue.
Exclusions
Yachts that call up a harbour or otherlocation for repairs, that participatein a regatta or are on display andparticipating in boat shows do notneed a vignette, if the organizers havenotified Harbour Master’s Office orBranch Office at least 48 hours priorto beginning of the competition or fair.
The Vignette fees are differen-tiated according to the period of validity required and the size of the foreign yacht (prices in Euros, updated in 2009):
