Porto Montenegro marina and resort

It wasn’t just the remarkable diversity of Montenegro that convinced me to visit or the fact that you can swim on the Adriatic coast in the morning and go snow skiing in the mountains in the afternoon. Or the fact that this Balkan country offers dramatic northern mountains, lush green canyons, medieval villages, fortified towns, wide, narrow beaches and likely Europe’s largest untouched pine forest formed by glaciers filled with bears, wolves, limestone lakes, and glaciers.

I was excited to also check out Porto Montenegro, an area quickly becoming the new Monaco with the largest superyachts and billionaire visitors, making it the most sought-after resorts for the world’s wealthiest individuals.  With a stunning amount of new resort development slated for the next five years, Montenegro will quickly seal its place as the top luxury destination in Eastern Europe.

The former Yugoslavian republic is located between Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Albania on the eastern shore of the Adriatic. Podgorica is the country’s capital with an international airport; the other one is located in the resort town of Tivat. Montenegro (Black Mountain) got its name from the mountain forests that were so dense and thick that they looked black to outside observers.

The Porto Montenegro project started when Canadian mogul Peter Munk purchased the Arsenal shipyard, a former Yugoslav Army military base in the town of Tivat in 2007, with the purpose of building a superyacht marina that would rival all other destinations. With backing from LVMH Chairman, Bernard Arnault, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Lord Jacob Rothschild, the Barrick Gold founder created the largest private-sector investment in the country, and before his death this year, he had already sold Porto Montenegro to the Investment Corporation of Dubai.

I made the Regent Porto Montenegro my base for my quick visit to the area. Located on the shore of the UNESCO protected Boka Bay, Porto Montenegro is more of a city in itself offering everything a spoiled visitor would want. Featuring an elegant nautical village, (their version of Rodeo Drive), the bustling community is filled with restaurants, bars, boutiques and even a new Veuve Clicquot champagne bar.  My best word of advise if you are planning a visit is to fly into Tivat Airport (10 minutes away) rather than the exhaustive, winding drive from Podgorica Airport which reminded me of the perilous Amalfi Coast roads. Of course, you can always arrive like most visitors on their superyachts as you cruise the coastline.

Aqua penthouse swimming pool

Inspired by Venetian-Renaissance architecture, the nautical-themed Regent recently debuted its Aqua Wing this month, featuring 62 suites and guestrooms as well as a 10,000-square-foot pool complex comprising four pools as well as cabanas and a pool bar with live DJs. The Venezia Wing, the main building of the hotel that opened in 2014, offers a gym, infinity swimming pools, and the Regent Spa.

The Platinum rated Porto Montenegro Marina has 450 berths and can accommodate the largest mega yachts in the world up to 800 feet. The beautiful Porto Montenegro Yacht Club is really the place to be, where members can experience the newly refurbished 200-foot infinity pool including daybeds for up to 188 people, an Italian poolside restaurant, as well as a 20-seater lounge area and outdoor theater. Evenings are spent at the Italian-inspired De Gustibus seafood restaurant, with a rooftop bar and the yacht club's private Platinum Nightclub.

Bay of Kotor

My time was limited, but I wanted to explore the area, so I took a private Riva boat from the marina to Kotor and Perast. In the Old Town of Kotor I enlisted the help of local expert Vanja Pavlovic , the charming and very handsome Vanja was the perfect choice to guide us through the Old Town and made exploring so much fun. He showed us around the well-preserved medieval town surrounded by stone walls, built like a maze to confuse invaders, its narrow streets, and squares filled with cafes and shops and include a charming combination of Baroque, Venetian and Austrian architecture. Vanja is also launching a living history museum in Kotor for visitors to get a hands-on experience on what it was like living in medieval times. How fun for families to learn the basics of sword fighting while wearing authentic body armor?

Medieval Kotor experience with guide Vanja Pavlovic

We enjoyed a delightful lunch on the water in neighboring Perast on Boka Bay, filled with 17th and 18th-century buildings, including sixteen Baroque palaces and seventeen Catholic churches. The best spot for dining is at the Conte Hotel and Restaurant , where your private boat will moor adjacent to a waterfront table overlooking the famed Our Lady of the Rocks. According to legend, the man-made islet was created rock by rock over centuries by local seamen after they found the icon of Madonna and Child on a rock in the sea.

City of Perast in the Bay of Kotor

The ultimate way to depart Montenegro is by helicopter to Dubrovnik for easy transfers onwards to the Mediterranean, and the coolest way to experience it is with Laura Protat with Discover Montenegro .  Not only is she the most beautiful pilot I have ever seen, but she is also the best, having flown many celebrities and VIPs and is filled with great stories of the area.  The route takes you along the coastline where you can see first hand the massive development in the area including neighboring Portonovi with a new One&Only Resort in the works and a 238 berth marina for yachts up to 394 feet. Additional resorts now open or launching soon include the popular Aman Sveti Stefan on its own private islet or along the Bay of Kotor with a planned Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons Hotel, Chedi Lustica on Boka Bay, Allure Palazzi and Iberostar.

Once in Dubrovnik, as you wait for your afternoon flight, make sure to visit the stunning Villa Orsula , which is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, for lunch on the large terrace with dramatic views of the walled Old Town. Built in 1939, this boutique five-star hotel was completely restored and features stone architecture inspired by Mediterranean tradition. The decor of the intimate villa's 11 rooms and 2 suites combines vintage style with modern minimalism. If you want to spend the evening, check into the Royal Suite with private balcony and spectacular views, or at their other property, the 104-year-old Hotel Excelsior, where the cast of Game of Thrones stayed during the filming the Kings Landing location in the Old Town.

With yachting still on the rise – sales of megayachts were up 40% according to the most recent 2016 wealth report by Knight Frank – we’ve compiled a list below of the new and upcoming marinas around the world that every megayacht owner, captain or traveler who charters can’t miss.

Miami – Island Gardens Deep Harbour

Island Gardens is a next generation mixed-use development, home to a superyacht marina that today accommodates up to 50 of the world’s largest yachts. Upon future completion, Island Gardens will feature two luxury hotels, magnificent residences with five-star amenities and hotel-serviced living. The waterfront property at the heart of Miami will be a premier dining destination, calling hotel guests and visitors alike to enjoy an array of exclusive eateries featuring world-class cuisine from all corners of the globe.

Barcelona – OneOcean Port Vell

Originally built for the 1992 Olympic Games and perfectly positioned in the heart of Barcelona, OneOcean Port Vell is a 148-berth luxury facility and the ultimate destination for yachts up to 623 feet. The marina grants easy access for yacht owners to soak up this historic city, from visiting the Gaudi monuments scattered throughout the city to eating authentic, traditional Catalan and Spanish cuisine.

Tuscany – Porto Viareggio

Already home to one of the most important Carnival celebrations in Italy, this seaside resort will also soon be home to the inaugural Versilia Yachting Rendez-vous in May, 2017.

Porto Viareggio has space for 560 boats up to 70 feet in length in over 500,000 square feet of water, so there’s plenty of room to spare for visitors to this new international event dedicated to high-end products of Italy’s famed nautical industry.

Porto, an ancient city with a vibrant soul, is more than just a destination; it’s a maritime experience waiting to be unraveled. With Yachting.Rent as your trusted guide, here’s why Porto emerges as an unparalleled sailing haven:

This unique blend of river and ocean offers diverse sailing experiences, from serene river cruises to adventurous ocean voyages.

Rich Maritime Heritage: Porto’s deep-rooted maritime history is palpable as you sail through its waters. The city’s iconic Ribeira District, dotted with ancient buildings and labyrinthine alleyways, provides a picturesque backdrop, narrating tales of seafarers, explorers, and merchants.

World-renowned Vineyards: Sailing the Douro provides a unique vantage point to view the terraced vineyards, globally celebrated for producing Porto’s signature Port wine. Many vineyards even offer exclusive riverside docks for sailors, allowing you to seamlessly transition from a day at sea to an exquisite wine tasting session.

Gastronomic Delights: Porto’s culinary scene is a gastronomic treasure, and there’s nothing quite like savoring freshly caught seafood aboard your yacht. With our local partnerships at Yachting.Rent, we can even arrange for Porto’s renowned chefs to craft gourmet meals on board.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Porto

Choosing the right vessel for your Porto adventure can define the very essence of your maritime experience. Porto, with its winding Douro River and open coastal waters, offers myriad sailing possibilities. Each vessel, be it a sailing boat or a catamaran, brings its own unique flavor to the journey, and at Yachting.Rent, we’ve had the privilege of crafting countless such adventures, understanding deeply the soul of each choice.

A traditional sailing boat is reminiscent of old-world charm. As it slices through the water, passengers on board feel every wave, every gust of wind. It’s an intimate dance with nature, where the rhythmic creak of the boat and the gentle splash of the Douro meld into a serene symphony. This experience is perfect for those who seek an authentic connection with the sea, who yearn for the romance of bygone eras when sailors relied on the stars and their instincts. The slender design of these boats also means that they can navigate the narrower stretches of the river with ease, offering access to hidden alcoves and pristine spots along the Porto shoreline.

On the other hand, the catamaran promises a different kind of allure. Built for stability and speed, these twin-hulled marvels are an epitome of modern luxury. The spacious decks and cabins ensure that even larger groups can find their own corner of tranquility. Catamarans float almost majestically over waters, their wide stance providing a sturdy base that’s often preferred by those new to sailing or those traveling with children. Moreover, the panoramic views from a catamaran are unparalleled. As the vessel cruises along Porto’s coast, passengers are treated to a vista that stretches wide, capturing the city’s architectural wonders on one side and the endless horizon on the other.

In the end, the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran is deeply personal. It’s about what one seeks from the journey. At Yachting.Rent, we take pride in understanding these nuances, guiding our guests toward making a choice that aligns with their vision. Our expert crew ensures that irrespective of the vessel chosen, the journey is nothing short of magical. Sailing in Porto is not just about exploring waters; it’s about forging a bond with them. And we are here to ensure that every moment of that bond is special.

Next stop: Albania! First mega yacht harbour in the Adriatic country under construction

• Stef Bottinelli

With 690 berths, a 5-star hotel, luxury villas with their own moorings, apartments, a golf course, restaurants, shops and boutiques, Porto Albania is putting Albania on the map as the next luxury destination

Despite its fantastic location on the Adriatic coastline and proximity to Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy, Albania doesn’t have a single yacht harbour.

Swiss development company Finsec AG have decided to change all that and lay the foundations for Porto Albania – a mega yacht harbour on the Kalaja e Turres peninsula, less than an hour drive from the Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza, the only international airport in the country – Albania’s first mega yacht harbour and resort.

The yacht harbour project

Taking in consideration the country’s rich cultural and historical heritage, archaeologists had to examine an area covering 20 hectares to see if important artefacts were located on building land for the future harbour basin before construction could begin. A total 2,400 artefacts were found, which have since been recovered, secured and catalogued – including ancient amphorae. Once an expert assessment confirmed that no more culturally significant objects were in the area, the Albanian government granted the last permits, allowing work to start on Porto Albania.

The project is certainly ambitious and puts the country on the luxury map. Once completed, Porto Albania will boast 690 berths accommodating yachts up to 70 metres in length, a 5-star hotel, harbour facilities, residential villas with their own moorings, apartments, shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafés, a congress centre, a spa, a home port, a visitor port, a golf course with two 18-hole rounds and multi-storey parking.

Under the management of Finsec AG and its Albanian subsidiary Finsec Port Sh.a.Tirana, construction companies will commence the first phase, involving filling in more than 55,000 square metres of land behind the harbour. They will also erect a breakwater over 800 metres in length and a harbour wall to create enough protected space for the berths. The project costs €112 million.

“We are focussing particularly on acquiring clients from the superior yachting class”, says Tunc Gökce, owner of the Turkish engineering company Arti Proje Consulting Ltd., the yacht harbour’s planners. “A VIP yachting club is planned for this express purpose, with a helipad and a separate pier for mooring superyachts.”

Porto Albania in Kalaja e Turres has many attractions on offer. The peninsula is only 60 minutes by car from the Albanian capital of Tirana, and 20 minutes from the port of Durres. The harbour is ideally located for boat trips to the north or south and is a suitable stop-over on the way to Croatia, Greece or Italy. The port of Budva in Montenegro is 70 nautical miles away and Corfu around 90. Guests will also benefit from tax free berths, VAT free fuel and services such as boat repairs and duty-free shopping.

“The project has a budget of around €112 million, making it the biggest ever investment in the Albanian tourism sector”, explains Alexander Auer, President of the Board of Finsec AG. “For the first time in the country’s history Porto Albania will combine a marina with international yachting and charters, a luxury hotel, villas, apartments and leisure facilities – a first for the seemingly unknown and untouched country of Albania.”

Accommodation, facilities and activities

Porto Albania will boast a 5-star hotel with 146 rooms and more than 250 apartments, a canal with villas equipped with private berths, a spa, perfect for a spot of pampering after a day of sailing, and a congress centre. Shops, restaurants and multi-storey parking will be built in one of the most modern, environmentally sustainable infrastructures existing. Emilio Tuñón und Marceline Ruckstuhl from Arquitectos (Madrid) – one of Spain’s most prestigious architectural offices-are handling planning and architecture for the harbour village and hotel.

A luxury family resort is also planned with more than 800 metres of sandy beaches. There will be a reception centre with a water world and thermal waters plus infrastructure such as shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafés, to make sure that all the guests’ needs and desires are taken care of.  A golf course with two 18-hole rounds and more than 90 leisure activities – ranging from cycling to climbing, water-skiing and riding – will provide plenty to do for people of all ages, 365 days a year.

Those looking for peace and quiet can enjoy relaxing in the large botanical garden and olive plantations surrounding the resort, or can hop on their yacht and explore the stunning coastline.

Porto Albania is due to open in 2019.

Porto Mirabello, extra luxury for extra-large sizes

Exclusive services, assistance and an ideal tourist location famous throughout the world. The La Spezia marina has an area dedicated to large yachts capable of accommodating ships of up to 140 metres

by Niccolò Volpati

The first favourable condition is nature. The Gulf of La Spezia is one of the most protected harbours in the whole of the Mediterranean , and has always been so, as it was frequented by the Phoenicians, Etruscans, Greeks and anyone else who sailed in these waters. The breakwater and a high draught, ideal for mega and giga yachts, have added to this characteristic. The draught was obtained not only because of the conformation of the coast and seabed but also because, at the end of the nineteenth century, the Navy decided to set up the arsenal and dredged the seabed to allow military ships access without problems. So credit is due to those who decided and allowed Porto Mirabello to be built right next to the arsenal.

The mega yacht area can accommodate boats up to 140 metres long.

However, accommodating large yachts requires more than just natural features; it also requires a service that meets the needs of owners and crews. The mega-yacht area can accommodate yachts of up to 140 metres in length, and there is a yard inside the marina equipped for all routine maintenance: hull cleaning, glass and carbon lamination, engine and system servicing, certification, raft overhauls and land and sea transfers. 

Mirabello is also a pleasant port to visit, and not just for the service . The RINa has awarded it, the only one in Italy, the “ Luxury Marina ” qualification. The qualification was obtained thanks to the Captain & Crew Lounge , which includes a relaxation area and a cinema, and then thanks to the gym, the panoramic terrace and the basketball court. In addition, there is a concierge service dedicated exclusively to crews, owners and their guests. In practice, it is a service that takes care of organising the leisure time of guests in the mega-yacht area of the marina. 

Concierge is a service for shipowners and crews to organise their free time during their stay.

The facility is also equipped with a heliport, a 100 MB internet connection directly at the berth terminal and, finally, a security service . In fact, the mega-yacht area has controlled access and gates with video surveillance so that Mirabello can boast compliance with the ISPS code , an acronym for International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, which provides targeted procedures to ensure a peaceful stay for owners and crews.

Porto Mirabello has been awarded the ‘Luxury Marina’ status by RINa.

Thanks to the very deep gulf and the breakwater, La Spezia is one of the safest harbours in the Mediterranean.

Porto Mirabello also has a special feature that distinguishes it from many others. There are not many marinas dedicated to large yachts, but there are not a few either, and all of them, to a greater or lesser extent, offer services and guarantee comfort to their guests during their stay. The difference is that they are not always in a good location because, given the size of the yachts, they are moorings located within large commercial ports.

The inland shipyard offers a complete service for light refits. Almost all the main Italian shipyards are based around Porto Mirabello, between Spezia, Carrara and Viareggio.

Porto Mirabello, on the other hand, is in the centre of the Gulf of La Spezia, a few miles from Cinque Terre, Portovenere or Lerici and a ten-minute walk from the city centre . It is a marina in the true sense of the word. It is a marina in the true sense of the word, both for the services it provides and for what is around it. Its position is strategic, not only because of the possibility of excursions or sailing in the surrounding area, but also because it is located near many large boatyards, from those in La Spezia to those in Carrara and Viareggio.

Safe Harbors Contracted to Build a Mega Yacht Marina in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico’s government on Thursday signed a multimillion-dollar contract with a Texas-based company to build a marina for mega yachts in the capital of the U.S. territory.

Currently, two docks in  San Juan  are available to yachts and mega yachts, but there is limited space and basic services are not offered, Governor Pedro Pierluisi said.

The new marina to be built by Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC will cover more than 180,000 square feet (67,000 square meters) and will be located in the two docks that currently accept yachts. It will be able to accommodate roughly six yachts at a time and will offer shore power and water connections, sanitary pumping and high-speed internet, Pierluisi said.

Safe Harbor Marinas will invest between $12 million and $15 million, the governor said.

The 40-year concession lease agreement calls for Puerto Rico’s Port Authority to receive $200,000 a year in rental fees. Safe Harbor Marinas also will share 5% of its gross income with the authority and 5% of net profits from fuel sales, officials said.

The deal also envisions construction of a business center, repair and recreational facilities, retail outlets, and a boat supply store, among other things.

Pierluisi said the project is expected to generate more than $10 million a year in economic activity.

An average of nearly 30 yachts visit Puerto Rico a year, with officials saying the project is expected to attract up to 200 a year.

The first phase of the project is expected to start operating at the end of 2024 and the second phase by the end of 2025.

Mega Yachts: what they are, how much they cost, and how much it costs to maintain them

Mega yachts are luxury vessels that appeared on the market in the 1980s. The first in history was the yacht Nabila, launched in 1979 and owned by the oilman Kashoggi.

Their characteristic, as their name suggests, is that they have dimensions that far exceed the standards of traditional yachts.

In fact, the average length of a super yacht is around 40 metres, but they also go much further, as there are no limits to their size and tonnage other than those established by the wishes and possibilities of their owners.

At the moment, the longest of them all is the Azzam, which measures 180 metres and is also super because of its price (500 million euros) and the amount of fuel it can hold (one million litres).

Summing up.

What are mega yachts?

Mega yachts are yachts of 40 metres and more in length equipped with luxury fittings and options. Some famous mega yachts are:

the Eclipse, Abramovich’s yacht ousted by the Azzam for the record in length, still unsurpassed for its two helicopter landing pads and a missile launcher defence system. The Mirage, the invisible yacht built of glass when viewed from 50 metres away. The Ferretti Group’s Custom Line Navetta 37, capable of reaching a speed of 12 knots despite its large size. CRN Chopi Chopi, the largest mega yacht built in Ancona.

Other super yachts boast indoor swimming pools and beaches, and spaces to make luxury constructions built on land envious.

In the luxury yacht sector, these ‘private ships’ account for about 1/4 of the total market. A portion that is destined to grow and which, predictably soon, will reach 50% of the total.

Italy is one of the countries where the construction of these large luxury yachts will be strategic for the entire nautical sector, and interest in these extraordinary constructions is very high.

But what are the expense items for a potential owner to take into account? Let’s try to see them all.

Mega yacht cost: the complete overview

The cost of these super yachts, as is easy to imagine, varies with their size. If a luxury yacht between 30 and 40 metres, such as the Navetta Custom Line 42, has a list price of 18 million euros, the 100-metre models, on the other hand, come close to, and sometimes exceed, 100 million euros. All the way up to the 500 million of the aforementioned Azzam.

These are true monsters of the sea, such as those built by Blohm + Voss, or signed by designers such as Francesco Paszkowski and Lenard Nuvolari, which require almost unlimited availability if one considers all the expenses they entail.

Important items of expenditure concern the management of personnel, including extra salaries, and that for fittings and furnishings, which will inevitably be up to the quality standards of design and prestige that characterise any yacht or luxury mega-yacht down to the last detail.

Let’s take a look at what the most ordinary expenses related to the maintenance of a super yacht reach.

There is certainly no shortage of yachts for sale even when it comes to mega yachts, but it might be useful to know that prices drop a lot when you opt for second-hand.

The choice of models available is wide here as well.

Interested in our list of new yachts? Find out what your next luxury yacht will be. Click to link to the dedicated page.

Mega yachts: how much does it cost to maintain them

The total expected expenditure is about 10 per cent of the purchase value, to which hauling, parking and crew costs must be added.

Then there are ordinary maintenance costs that protect against humidity, sun and salt, and extraordinary maintenance costs that take into account other minor extraordinary incidents.

Indicatively, we can assume a cost of 12,000 euro for hauling and launching and another 10,000 for engine maintenance.

Finally, the purchase of accessories to improve the yacht’s condition will also affect the total expenditure.

Mooring costs are also very significant. The most expensive marina by far is Capri, where daily costs are even double those of Port de Saint Tropez: 2585 euro per day for a 40+ metre yacht in high season. The Italian leader is followed by the marinas of Porto Cervo and Portofino, where, however, the cost does not fall below 2,000 euros.

Here, too, costs rise as the size increases, provided, however, that mooring is allowed.

These include the Mirabello marina in La Spezia, which is certainly one of the most suitable marinas for mooring megayachts – it was chosen by Giorgio Armani for his M/Y Main.

Generally, however, as already mentioned, not all marinas allow large luxury yachts: and from 70 metres in length onwards the only option is to anchor offshore.

Puerto Rico signs multimillion-dollar deal with Texas company to build a marina for mega yachts

• Copy Link copied

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s government on Thursday signed a multimillion-dollar contract with a Texas-based company to build a marina for mega yachts in the capital of the U.S. territory.

Currently, two docks in San Juan are available to yachts and mega yachts, but there is limited space and basic services are not offered, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi said.

The new marina to be built by Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC will cover more than 180,000 square feet (67,000 square meters) and will be located in the two docks that currently accept yachts. It will be able to accommodate roughly six yachts at a time and will offer shore power and water connections, sanitary pumping and high-speed internet, Pierluisi said.

Safe Harbor Marinas will invest between $12 million and $15 million, the governor said.

The 40-year concession lease agreement calls for Puerto Rico’s Port Authority to receive $200,000 a year in rental fees. Safe Harbor Marinas also will share 5% of its gross income with the authority and 5% of net profits from fuel sales, officials said.

The deal also envisions construction of a business center, repair and recreational facilities, retail outlets and a boat supply store, among other things.

Pierluisi said the project is expected to generate more than $10 million a year in economic activity.

An average of nearly 30 yachts visit Puerto Rico a year, with officials saying the project is expected to attract up to 200 a year.

The first phase of the project is expected to start operating at the end of 2024 and the second phase by the end of 2025.
