After two seasons in theSecond League, club gained promotion to the First League at the end of 2007/08 season. During the summer of 2008, club was renamed into RK Budvanska rivijera.

Unfortunately, the team fell into a financial crisis, which soon led to a relegation from the Montenegrin highest handball competition. Next few seasons were tough, with many key players, that have won the championship in 2015/16, leaving the club.
