SEAPLANE REGATTA AIMS
The dream of flying is as old as the human race, and the dream of hydroaviation is the dream of merging all three mediums into one.
International Seaplane Regatta MontAdria aims to relive the historical past to a rich tradition, brave and courageous people and events which took place in Montenegro, century ago in hydroaviation on Adriatic Sea. Time passes, monarchies faded away but new inspirations come back again and our main goal is to return seaplanes to the old nest - Montenegro and the Mediterranean orbis.

All this places were generously provided to us to evoke the beauty of those times in a new guise.
