Destination
There's a reason Montenegro is often referred to as the "new Riviera" - its unspoiled beauty.
Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the ancient walled city of Kotor and Durmitor National Park - Montenegro is cherished by lovers of history and nature alike.
The country's dramatic coastline, dotted with secluded beaches and hidden coves, is an idyllic place to drop anchor.
The Bay of Kotor, in which Porto Montenegro is found, is the Adriatic's largest, most beautiful and best sheltered natural harbour.
Often referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, security is high: the surrounding mountains and the calm, easy to navigate water of the Bay offer yachts an exceptional degree of protection.
Cruising and Owner's Guide
Offering countless itineraries for boats of all sizes, Porto Montenegro is the ideal starting or end point to an Adriatic cruise.
There is the famous Montenegrin coastline to explore, of course. Then, just a few nautical miles north, at the border with Croatia, begins the longest stretch of the rugged Dalmatian coast, boasting the historic walled city of Dubrovnik and more than a thousand islands along the shoreline.
Thanks to Montenegro's new, simplified Law on Yachts, private and charter boats can now take advantage of a user-friendly vignette system that allows multiple entries and frequent changes to the passenger and crew manifest.
A Montenegro & the Adriatic Cruising Guide will be published by Boat International in the May 2010 issue and available here thereafter.
