Marina to deck, on the Adriatic.
Porto Montenegro, Kotor, ACI Marina Hvar and ACI Marina Split sit within an hour of each other by air and a full day of each other by ferry and border queue. These pages set out where the aircraft can actually land at each marina, what the legs cost and how guests are handed over to the tender or the berth.
The four Adriatic marinas served most often by helicopter are Porto Montenegro (5 minutes from Tivat, from €1,300), Kotor (6 minutes, from €1,400), ACI Marina Hvar (12 minutes from Split, from €1,900) and ACI Marina Split (8 minutes from SPU). None is a licensed heliport: guests arrive by approved marina-side site, by certified deck landing, or at the nearest airport with a tender or car to the berth.
Where yacht guests actually land
Porto Montenegro is the Adriatic's superyacht capital and the one marina in Boka Bay where guests routinely arrive by air. Tivat airport sits five flying minutes away across the water, which means a jet arrival at TIV and a berth-side handover inside the same hour.
Kotor sits at the head of a deep UNESCO fjord where large yachts anchor rather than berth, and the shore road winds the long way around the bay. Six minutes of flight from Tivat replaces a drive that becomes unpredictable the moment cruise traffic arrives.
Hvar is the pivot of the Dalmatian yacht-week circuit and the hardest island to reach on a schedule: the catamaran fills, the ferry queue in Split builds through the afternoon, and a missed sailing costs half a day. Twelve minutes of flight removes the whole variable.
ACI Marina Split is where most Dalmatian charters begin, which makes it a scheduling problem rather than a distance problem: guests land at SPU through the afternoon, the marina is across the harbour, and the island legs that follow are all ferry-bound. The helicopter turns embarkation day into a single continuous movement.
