- Dubrovnik or Tivat airport
- Crew bags and provisioning
- Written quote before anything is booked
Two airports, one border
Portonovi sits on the Herceg Novi side of the bay. From Tivat Airport the road goes round the bay, roughly 40 minutes without traffic. From Dubrovnik Airport it is about an hour plus the Croatia–Montenegro border queue, which in summer can be the longest part.
Dubrovnik Airport to Portonovi, or Tivat Airport to Portonovi
Both are private, door to gate. A Dubrovnik Airport to Portonovi transfer means the driver meets you at arrivals and the border is part of the plan; a Tivat Airport to Portonovi transfer goes round the bay or over the Kamenari–Lepetane car ferry, whichever is quicker on the day. We also drive between Portonovi and Herceg Novi, Kotor, Budva and Porto Montenegro. For a crossing of the bay by boat instead, see Tivat to Herceg Novi by boat.
Guests, owners and crew
Charter guests on changeover day, owners and their guests, and crew with bags and provisioning. Send the date, the flights, the number of people and bags, and the yacht’s name or berth if you know it. The quote names the vehicle, the meeting point and the driver; a crew with several flights gets one quote listing every run.
What your quote confirms, and what depends on the day
Your written quote states
- the pick-up point at the airport or hotel and the drop-off at the marina’s land-side entrance;
- the vehicle for the group, crew bags and provisioning;
- the driver’s name and phone number;
- the total price, in writing, before anything is booked.
What depends on the day
- Marina security. A car stops where the marina allows private cars, never on a pier. The marina or the yacht’s crew takes you from there.
- The boat leg. These are road transfers. A tender or water taxi is arranged by the marina or the yacht.
- A long flight delay. Send the flight number so the driver checks the arrival. A delay of hours may change the driver or the plan.

Questions about this marina
It depends on the flights. Tivat avoids the border; Dubrovnik often has more flights. We plan either.
No. These are road transfers by car or minivan. A tender or the yacht itself is arranged by the cruise line, the marina or the yacht’s crew. A private boat between two harbours is a separate request.
We do not publish a fixed price for these transfers. The price depends on the date, the timing, the vehicle and any border crossing, so we reply with a written quote. Nothing is booked or charged until you accept it.
