but we are aware of our geographical position and that all countries around us are quarantine zones so this was the only way of stopping the spread of the disease.” Says Jankovic, “Things are slowly opening and in the Mediterranean we are the first area to open and I hope we will get the lions share of this season’s yachts.”


Before COVID19 the Montenegrin season was looking pretty bright, with strong bookings and itineraries from clients planning to visit. Says Jankovic, “None of them has changed their mind for certain, but they are saying that they are waiting for this situation to clear. New bookings have now totally stopped since the virus took over Europe.” Yacht Agent Montenegro works with worldwide charter companies and private owners and Jankovic reports that clients are concerned about their multi- country charters and although Montenegro is relatively unaffected, surrounding countries are not.

“We are very client oriented,” says Jankovic, “and our main goal is to provide a distinctive service to our clients that will make their stay in Montenegro unforgettable; the one place where they got everything they need in a timely manner. Precision and reliability are key: we dedicate one team member to each client with 24/7 availability to manage requests.” Yacht Agent Montenegro provides technical services, docking and maintenance with certified and authorised personnel, and the plan is to expand its season beyond the summer months and offer services to clients throughout the Mediterranean.


Ajka Matijevic is the Managing Director of A+ Yachting in the Adriatic and together with her team offer a service that covers Montenegro, Croatia and Albania. Montenegro and Albania are not part of the European Union, this along with adequate information online means captains and crew are often left in the dark when it comes to customs and administration fees for goods they’ve ordered. Ajka reminds us, “Owners and charter guests are travelling to the eastern Mediterranean more and more, but


the Captains and crew can sometimes have little practical and operational knowledge of the area. This is where they need a partner with local knowledge and a good reach throughout the region.” We know Croatia is in the EU, but are there different charter rules there? Ajka explains, “It is relatively easy to obtain a charter licence, but time is needed and there are of course certain hoops to jump through, but we have an experienced team, and once an itinerary is planned, we work with the Captain to facilitate the correct paperwork, but it can all depend on the yachts LOA and GRT. Our office takes care of everything and lets the Captain concentrate on looking after the guests on board.”


As we’ve mentioned before this eastern Mediterranean area of the Aegean is becoming very popular and with the current ‘logistical’ issues, the industry feels that this region could be very busy in 2020. Ajka and her team have worked long and hard to build a robust support network that enables them to offer and myriad of services to visiting yachts, including bespoke itineraries, help with spare part delivery


In light of the current situation, our hope is to be able to work this summer and thinking up new services remains a simple mental exercise
