Konferencija Boka Kotorska kao održiva nautička destinacija II

Panel II: UNESCO i budućnost kruzinga u Zalivu

📍 Slavjanska čitaonica, Dobrota  |  8. maj 2026. | 09:00h

Nakon uspješno realizovanih prethodnih izdanja, međunarodna naučno-stručna konferencija „Boka Kotorska kao održiva nautička destinacija“ u 2026. godini dobija prošireni format i dvodnevno izdanje u Tivtu i Kotoru. Konferenciju partnerski organizuju Jedriličarski klub „Delfin“, Pomorski fakultet Kotor Univerziteta Crne Gore i Institut za biologiju mora UCG, uz podršku opština Tivat i Kotor.

Kroz dijalog politike, nauke i zajednice, konferencija ima za cilj da otvori ključna pitanja upravljanja obalnim prostorom, zaštite morske životne sredine i očuvanja kulturnog pejzaža Boke Kotorske.

Značaj konferencije prepoznat je i na međunarodnom nivou – organizacija The Ocean Race Europe govori o ovoj inicijativi na svom zvaničnom web sajtu, ističući njen edukativni i društveni doprinos u okviru šire misije zaštite svjetskog okeana.

Kompletnom konferencijom predsjedava doc. dr Zorica Đurović, prodekanica za razvoj i komunikacije Pomorskog fakulteta Kotor, dok organizaciju skupa u Tivtu predvodi dr Slavi Petović, naučna savjetnica sa Instituta za biologiju mora Kotor UCG.

Kotorski dio konferencije fokusiran je na pitanje održivog regulisanja kruzinga u kontekstu UNESCO zaštite Kotora i Bokokotorskog zaliva.

Panel diskusija okupiće predstavnike lučkih uprava, državnih institucija, eksperte iz oblasti pomorske sigurnosti i upravljanja zaštićenim područjima, kao i međunarodne goste iz Hrvatske sa iskustvom regulisanja plovidbe u zaštićenim zonama. Uvodna prezentacija pružiće uvid u modele upravljanja pomorskim saobraćajem u osjetljivim obalnim područjima, dok će panel otvoriti prostor za dijalog o konkretnim koracima ka održivom i uravnoteženom razvoju kruzing turizma u Boki.

Cilj ovog skupa je da, kroz otvorenu i argumentovanu raspravu, doprinese definisanju budućih smjernica koje će istovremeno štititi izuzetnu univerzalnu vrijednost područja i omogućiti odgovorno korišćenje njegovih razvojnih potencijala.

Koncert Bajaga & Instruktori

📍Riva Pine, Tivat | 25. april 2026. | 21:00h

Kad se more smiri pred veče, a proljećni vjetar donese onaj osjećaj da je „vrijeme da se krene“, Festival vjetra otvara svoje peto izdanje na najljepši mogući način – koncertom Bajage i Instruktora, 25. aprila u 21 sat na gradskoj rivi Pine u Tivtu.

U ambijentu mora, brodova i svjetala rive i luke, pjesme koje decenijama spajaju generacije dobijaju posebno značenje. Jer Bajagina muzika oduvijek pripada otvorenom prostoru – ulicama, trgovima, obalama. Onim mjestima gdje se lako prepoznamo u stihovima o slobodi, putovanjima, ljubavi i malim, ali važnim životnim izborima. Mjestima gdje „more zna“ i gdje se živi sporije, ali punije.

Otvaranje Festivala vjetra koncertom Bajage i Instruktora simbolično spaja ono što je srž ove manifestacije – more kao inspiraciju, kulturu života uz more, i ideju da se sport, edukacija, kultura i zabava ne nadmeću, već nadopunjuju. Dok jedra čekaju povoljan vjetar, a festivalski programi tek počinju, muzika će podsjetiti da su i radost, zajedništvo i emocija dio tog istog pejzaža koji pokušavamo sačuvati.

Na Pinama će te večeri biti mjesta za sve – za one koji su uz ove pjesme odrastali, i za one koji ih tek otkrivaju. Za one koji vjeruju da se „dobro drži more“ kad ga dijelimo, i da je proljeće pravi trenutak da se ponovo zaljubimo – u muziku, u grad, u obalu pred nama.

Festival vjetra počinje koncertom koji obećava veče za pamćenje.

Vidimo se 25. aprila na Pinama – tamo gdje pjesme susreću more, a vjetar nosi priču dalje.

Mala tivatska regata Gadbois CUP 2026

📍 JK Delfin, TIVAT |  24 & 25. april 2026. | 11:00h

U okviru Festivala vjetra 2026, 24. i 25. aprila, u akvatorijumu Tivatskog zaliva biće održana Mala tivatska regata Gadbois CUP, tradicionalno takmičenje namijenjeno mladim jedriličarima i jedriličarkama.

Mala tivatska regata već godinama ima posebno mjesto u kalendaru proljetnih regata, jer okuplja djecu iz jedriličarskih klubova Crne Gore. Regata je prepoznata kao događaj koji, pored rezultata, u fokus stavlja učenje, druženje i razvoj ljubavi prema moru i jedrenju.

Takmičenja će se održavati u klasama Optimist I ILCA, a regatno polje u Tivatskom zalivu ponovo će se ponovo potvrditi  kao idealan prostor za nadmetanja u malim klasama brodova – pregledan, zaštićen i istovremeno dovoljno izazovan za sticanje novih jedriličarskih znanja.

Mala tivatska regatta Gadbois CUP nosi snažnu simboliku podrške razvoju mladih sportista i jedrenja kao dijela lokalnog identiteta, a održavanje regate u okviru Festivala vjetra dodatno naglašava povezanost sporta, edukacije i kulture života uz more.

Organizator regate je Jedriličarski klub Delfin, uz podršku Richard and Frances Gadbois Foundation, partnera Festivala vjetra i crnogorske jedriličarske zajednice. Mala tivatska regata i ove godine ostaje podsjetnik da se budućnost jedrenja gradi upravo na ovim startnim linijama – strpljivo, posvećeno i s pogledom ka pučini.

Regatna dokumenta su na linku.

As part of WindFest, Sailing Club Delfin once again organizes the Veterans’ Regatta — a sporting event celebrating decades of experience, sailing knowledge, and a lifelong love for the sea.

The Veterans’ Regatta has become a distinctive segment of WindFest, gathering sailors whose dedication and achievements have shaped the history of sailing in Tivat and across Boka Bay. It is both a competition and a meeting of generations, where former rivals cross sails once again while strengthening the sailing community.

The regatta will take place in the waters of Tivat, with the starting signal at 11:00 AM, while participants will gather earlier that morning at the premises of Sailing Club Delfin.

Intended for veteran sailors, the regatta blends competition with a friendly atmosphere where experience and instinct for the wind come fully into their own. The event promotes an active life by the sea, preservation of maritime tradition, and intergenerational connection through sport.

The Veterans’ Regatta reminds us that sailing is not just a sport — it is a way of life that endures.

Klapa Evening

📍 Church of St. Anthony, TIVAT | May 9, 2026 | 8:00 PM

The square in front of the Parish Church of St. Anthony in Tivat will once again become one of the most beautiful stages of WindFest this spring. Following last year’s unforgettable evening, the Klapa Evening returns in an even richer edition, bringing together klapa ensembles from several Montenegrin cities in a setting overlooking Tivat and its waters, giving each note a special charm.

Klapa singing is an essential part of Boka’s local identity and intangible cultural heritage — a blend of Mediterranean spirit, harmony, and emotion passed down through generations. For this reason, the evening holds a special place in the WindFest program and is eagerly anticipated by audiences.

The program is organized by the Bokelian Association of A Cappella Musicians and Sailing Club Delfin. Although relatively young, the association has gained strong recognition across Montenegro and the region for its dedication and quality.

This year’s edition gathers ten klapa ensembles from Tivat, Kotor, Budva, Nikšić, and Podgorica, presenting a diverse program of female, mixed, and youth groups performing both traditional and contemporary arrangements.

Participating ensembles include:

• Female Klapa Aanderba Satis – Nikšić
• Mixed Klapa Anderba Kantores – Nikšić
• Female Klapa Fiori – Tivat
• Female Klapa Fiorellini – Tivat
• Female Klapa Incanto – Kotor
• Female Klapa Belezza – Tivat
• Mixed Klapa Camerton – Podgorica
• Female Klapa Bisernice Boke – Kotor
• Mixed Klapa Jadran – Tivat
• Female Klapa Harmonija – Budva

The evening is conceived as a meeting of generations and towns, celebrating togetherness and harmony under the open sky. Guests will also enjoy a glass of wine and light refreshments in the spirit of Mediterranean hospitality.

Within the setting of the Church of St. Anthony — one of Tivat’s recognizable landmarks — klapa singing once again confirms its power to connect people, preserve tradition, and celebrate the identity of Boka.

Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup

📍 Sailing Club Delfin, TIVAT | April 26, 2026 | 11:00 AM

As part of WindFest, on Sunday, April 26, 2026, the 21st Tivat Cruiser Regatta UNA Montenegro CUP will take place — one of the longest-running and most recognizable cruiser regattas in Boka Bay.

For more than two decades, the Tivat Cruiser Regatta has gathered sailors from Montenegro and the wider region, maintaining its traditional format and distinctive course that has made it unique within the waters of Boka Bay.

The regatta starts off Ponta Seljanovo, after which the fleet sails around the island of Our Lady of Mercy and the island of Sveti Marko, continues through the Ralo strait, and then heads toward and around the islands near Perast. The finish line is once again set at Ponta Seljanovo, completing an attractive and demanding course that connects nearly all the key maritime points of the inner bay. This route gives the regatta its distinctive character while testing the tactical skill, endurance, and seamanship of each crew.

As in previous years, a strong turnout of cruisers across various classes is expected. The UNA Montenegro CUP once again remains more than a sporting competition — it is a gathering of sea and sailing enthusiasts and a central part of WindFest, dedicated to preserving the culture of life by the sea and promoting Boka Bay as an exceptional sailing destination.

The regatta documentation is available at the following link.
