Montenegro has reintroduced duty-free fuel for foreign private and commercial yachts in 2025, a move that reaffirms its position as a premier yachting destination in the Mediterranean. With the summer season fast approaching, this is the perfect opportunity for yacht owners and charter operators to plan their voyages to Porto Montenegro, the region’s leading refuelling and service hub.
Tony Browne, Marina Director at Porto Montenegro, commented: “The reintroduction of tax-free fuel in Montenegro is a game-changer for yacht owners and operators. Not only does it offer considerable cost savings, but it also positions Montenegro as the ultimate refuelling hub in the Adriatic. Porto Montenegro is proud to be at the forefront, ready to welcome yachts of all sizes and provide world-class service to our clientele.”
The availability of tax-free fuel across Montenegrin ports is set to optimise Mediterranean itineraries, making Montenegro an essential stopover for the global yachting community. Porto Montenegro, with its state-of-the-art facilities and capacity to host yachts of all sizes, is the region’s premier choice for refuelling. Complementing this is the Adriatic 42 shipyard, which ensures seamless maintenance and service with expert craftsmanship and independent quality control.
The regulation has now taken effect following its publication in the Official Gazette of Montenegro. With its stunning coastline, luxury amenities, and world-class service, Porto Montenegro continues to set the benchmark in the yachting industry. Now, with duty-free fuel reinstated, there has never been a better time to experience all that Montenegro has to offer.
