The winter berthing season runs between 1 October and 1 May. Summer berthing is from 1 May to 30 September.

Our trusted network of professional contractors offer a range of specialist yacht maintenance and repair services to ensure all-round care for yachts berthed in our marina. These include coatings and paintwork, interior and exterior design, upholstery, HVAC and insulation, propulsion and engineering, marine electrical systems, and more.

Ensuring that crew are well catered for during the winter off-season is one of our priorities. In the village, we organise a regular calendar of social events – including bowling and quiz nights, and our legendary karaoke night. Professional classes and training courses provide the opportunity for crew to upgrade their skills and hone their CVs.

On-water activities including sailing, rowing and stand-up paddle boarding, while in addition to fully-equipped indoor and outdoor gyms, the PMYC Sports Club features a wide variety of sports and activities, including tennis, volleyball, archery, yoga and Pilates.

Two key crew events are the hugely popular Superyacht Winter and Summer Games, two action packed events that bring crew together to socialise and connect. Further afield, we organise away days and outings, while our private ski chalet in Kolasin, in the north of Montenegro, is available for crew members to use throughout the winter months.

The Mediterranean Sea in winter is generally calmer than open ocean areas, making it a suitable location for winter berthing. While the temperatures drop, and conditions can become windy, modern marinas like Porto Montenegro, that benefit from natural protection in a deep-water Bay, are well-equipped to provide safe and secure berthing facilities for vessels. With advanced infrastructure and services, boats can be well-maintained and protected from potential winter weather hazards, offering peace of mind for boat owners.

Sailing the Mediterranean in winter presents certain challenges due to cooler temperatures, unpredictable weather, and increased wind activity. However, with proper planning, experience, and precautionary measures, it can of course be done in complete safety. For extended periods of non-use, winter berthing is recommended. Marinas such as Porto Montenegro offer secure and comprehensive winter berthing packages, ensuring your vessel remains safe and well-maintained throughout the off-season.
