Shipyard · Refit
Adriatic42
Superyacht refit yard on the old Bijela commercial shipyard in the Bay of Kotor, a short hop across the water from Porto Montenegro. It pairs a 180 m floating dock with a 720 t travel lift, so it can take both large hulls and mid-size yachts ashore. The 107 m sailing yacht Black Pearl was its first docking in late 2022.
