In its second ABA League season, the club qualified for the semifinals. In the playoff semifinals, Mornar was eliminated by Crvena zvezda, 2–1.
On 30 May 2018, Mornar achieved its first league ever by defeating Budućnost in the 2017–18 Montenegrin League finals.
In December 2020, the club became a shareholder of the Adriatic Basketball Association, following a transfer of shares from MZT Skopje Aerodrom.[2]
