Super Marinas: Porto Montenegro’s rise as a yachting destination
In recent quarters, a myriad of marinas have gone through deep restructuring to strengthen their offering and compete for superyachts’ attention. At the core of this pivotal moment for yachting infrastructure, however, stood Porto Montenegro, one of the first, purpose-built superyacht hubs.
The project started when Peter Munk, a Hungarian-born, Canadian businessman purchased a site in Montenegro for €23 million in 2007 with the purpose of building a superyacht marina that would rival mainstream destinations. With backing from LVMH Chairman, Bernard Arnault, Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska and Lord Jacob Rothschild, the Barrick Gold founder set out to develop the largest private-sector investment in the country.
