If you are looking for a Montenegro fishing licence, you have probably noticed that the process is not simple.
Kotor Fisherman is not a government office. This is a private assistance service that helps tourists obtain a legal fishing licence through authorized local fishing clubs as defined by the official Law on Marine Fisheries and Mariculture (Montenegro).
To help tourists avoid confusion, delays, and language barriers, I provide a fishing licence assistance service.
How Fishing Licences Are Issued in Montenegro
In Montenegro Fishing licences are:
- printed as physical (hard copy) documents
- valid only for the selected period
- required to be carried while fishing
- checked by inspectors on the water or shore
There is no digital or PDF version accepted.
Because of this, every licence must be:
- requested in advance
- issued by an authorized club
- collected as an original document

⭐ What Visiting Anglers Say
Mario was great, through investigation it seems that fishing licences can only be obtained from limited places and there is next to no help online. Having to source one when there would have took days. Mario gets the licence for you and makes sure you are fishing for your full holiday. In my case that meant he personally delivered it to my hotel due to my arrival date. I cannot thank him enough. As a local fisherman he is also helpful for hints and tips
Mario is THE man if you want to go fishing in the Kotor area. Not only did he get the licence for me within one day, delivered it to my doorstep and responded within minutes, he also hooked me up with some fresh bait and answers to all of my fishing questions. If you’;re thinking about fishing yourself in Kotor, this is the guy to get your licence from, it’s more than worth it.
I was visiting Montenegro from the UK and wanted to make sure I had the correct fishing licence before fishing from the shore. The process was not very obvious online, so this service saved me a lot of time. Communication was clear, the steps were explained well, and I received the licence without stress. Very useful for tourists who want to do things properly.
Everything was transparent and professional. We received the license exactly as agreed.
