A Legacy Written on
Water and Wind
The Bay of Kotor has always been a crossroads of cultures, trade and exploration. In1913 it become a gateway to the skies and a birthplace of seaplane aviation in this part of the world.
Today, MONTADRIA honors that legacy with regatta that connects heritage with the future.
Our Heritage: Where History Meets the Future
In 1913, the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro became home to one of the world's very first seaplane stations, eventually growing into a major regional seaport.
Empires and monarchies have faded, but a century later, MontAdria is reviving this glorious aviation tradition.
The Vision: Connecting Sea and Mountains
Amphibious seaplanes capture the beauty of motion. They offer the safest, fastest, and most breathtaking way to explore Montenegro—seamlessly connecting our stunning Adriatic coast with wild river canyons, mountain massifs, and glacial lakes.
By utilizing existing coastal waters, ports, and forgotten airfields, we create a green, efficient infrastructure with minimal environmental impact.
Who We Are & Our Mission
MontAdria is driven by an international team of experts, actively connected with the World and European Seaplane Associations, and partnered with global aircraft designers.
After making history in 2007 with the first modern seaplane flights over Skadar Lake, we established this Regatta as a powerful engine for general aviation. Our goal is clear: transforming modern ports and marinas into seasonal hydrodromes, and putting Montenegro back on the global map as the historic home of Mediterranean seaplane aviation.
