WHY SUP MONTENEGRO?

Montenegro's Bay of Kotor, the Adriatic coastline and its rivers are among the most spectacular places to start stand up paddle boarding.

We offer two StartSUP courses that provide a solid base for students to become independent paddlers with the skills needed to explore Montenegro's inland and coastal waters.

LEVEL 1

Our base at Lustica Marina is the perfect launch point for first time paddlers, located in a protected corner of the faciity. The breathtaking scenery will make your first SUP experience truly memorable. 

 

Over the last 7 years we have helped hundreds of people StartSUP here and we look forward to teaching you too.

LEVEL 2

Hit the open water and put your skills to the test. Our launch spot at Lustica Bay provides an ideal access point to the exposed waters of Trašte Bay.

 

Learn how to navigate swells and changing conditions, all while remaining within a comfortable distance from shore.
