Full Description & Details
Pine is Tivat's main seafront promenade and city port on the Bay of Kotor. The pier is a lively hub lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops, and is the departure point for tourist excursion boats. The sailboat 'Jadran', a historic training ship, is permanently moored here. Up to 500 passengers a day use Pine, and summer events enliven the promenade.
Pine is a municipal quay, not a full marina, managed by the Tivat utility company. Berthing is alongside the solid pier for commercial vessels and occasionally for visiting yachts. Harbourmaps.com rates wind protection at 85/100, indicating good shelter. Official depth data are absent, so approach with caution. There are no finger pontoons; yachts tie directly to the quay.
Facilities are limited: no fuel, water, electricity, or showers are mentioned. However, the waterfront boasts numerous restaurants and cafes just steps away. Berthing fees are very low by Mediterranean standards: passenger vessels pay 50 cents per metre for the first 10m and 40 cents beyond; sports and recreation boats under 6.5m moor free. These rates date from 2016, and confirmation is advised.
Permanent mooring is reserved exclusively for 'Jadran'. Tourist boats operate under strict time limits of 15 to 45 minutes. Yachts are permitted to stay for a few days, but longer periods are not allowed. Summer brings heavy traffic; the quay is not a secure marina. No VHF channel is published. Pine is an economical, central stop for short visits, with easy access to the town centre and the nearby Porto Montenegro.
How to get there
Pine lies on Tivat's central waterfront, just north of the Porto Montenegro luxury marina. When entering the Bay of Tivat, the pier is easily recognised by the historic sailboat 'Jadran' moored alongside and the promenade's cafe-lined buildings. The area is often busy with excursion boats and small craft; a sharp lookout is essential.
No VHF working channel is listed. Depth information is not provided, so approach slowly and rely on your echo sounder. The pier is part of the Pine promenade, Tivat's main pedestrian thoroughfare, with restaurants, cafes, and shops directly adjacent.
The town centre is a short walk away. The bay of Tivat offers a sheltered setting, and the pier is well integrated into the town's public spaces.
