Our first stop is a visit to the island of Our Lady of the Rocks. It is an artificial island created by a bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks. The Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks (Montenegrin: Gospa od Škrpjela) is the largest building on the islet and has a museum attached to it. There is also a small gift shop close to the church and a navigation light at the western end of the islet. Travelers will stop on the island and visit the church and museum if they wish, also they can buy souvenirs on the island. Our skipper will explain the history of the island and Old Town Perast which is under UNESCO protection. We will take 20 minutes of this time cruising to this point of interest.
On our way, we will pass through the strait of Verige and enter Tivat Bay whose location is the famous luxurious marina Porto Montenegro which you can see on the far left. The next stop is the Ex- Submarine Tunnel which is built by the Yugoslav Army. The outside of the opening is designed and covered by fake rocks so they would not be invisible to satellites or spy planes and passing through it is a unique experience. Plus 15 minutes cruising to the next attraction.
On the exit of the Bay of Kotor, you will see the famous Mamula Fortress and the skipper will explain the purpose of the fortress in the First and second world Wars. Due to construction already two years ago, the Fortress is closed to everyone. Plus 10 minutes cruising to the next stop.
Natural caves created by wave impacts over a hundred years at the bottom of over 100-meter cliff. The captain takes you by boat to the blue cave where you have the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim in this magnificent blue sea. Snorkeling equipment is provided to you without additional payment. Certainly, this is an experience you will remember throughout your life. We will take 25 minutes of this time cruising to this point of interest. Plus 55 minutes cruising back to the meeting point.

If you aren’t the first one on the boat, you won’t see a darn thing… And do not expect to have any son while on the water if you aren’t in the front of the boat. There is a huge canopy that they do not remove and all you see is the driver’s back the entire time. The driver never spoke to us only those sitting in the front we had to try and over hear what he was saying. He kept referring to my 10 1/2 year-old as “ THE KID”. You never really make any worthwhile stops. He only drives past things and points if he is in the mood because he did not go to one of the listed places on our tour. The swim is literally less than 10 minutes. It was the biggest waste of money of my entire one month European vacation..
Thank you very much for your review. Boat tours is not for everyone and certanly not for you but we are always trying to do our best. We are sorry we were not able to please you.
Without a doubt, this was one of the best experiences of our holiday. We laughed, swam, danced, took amazing photos, and made memories we'll never forget. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, and if you get Miloš as your skipper, you're in for an unforgettable day. Thank you for everything! Best wishes, Ariana
My family and I had the most amazing morning on the water with the Compass & Co crew The speedboat was comfortable, the views of Kotor Bay took our breath away, and our guide made the whole trip feel special. Swimming in the Blue Cave was a dream, and learning about the history while zipping around the bay was perfect. Thank you to the whole team for making it so easy and so memorable. If you only do one tour in Kotor, make it this one! Sarita, South Africa
We had the best tour guides. Kostca and meerco (I have no idea how to spell their names) we had amazing fun, music, laughter and informative on the sites, both of them were so friendly, and really made our trip to kotor.
All what was told and promised by Mia in Kotor was correct. Very well organised team and superb boat! Really refreshing tour in this warm weather. Thanks to Mia, Nikola and Tiger!😎
We had an amazing experience with Compass & Co in Kotor! The tour was fantastic value for money and gave us the perfect mix of sightseeing, relaxation, and local charm. We especially loved the stop in Perast, which was absolutely beautiful and gave us time to wander through the town and soak up the atmosphere. The swimming stop looked incredibly refreshing and was set in a stunning location. While I didn’t personally swim, everyone who jumped in seemed to love it! The crew were friendly, organised, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Thank you to Mia for approaching us; she was very kind, smiling, professional, and explained the tour process well. The prices are low for the quality of service. (Several visits and sufficient break times at each stop) Captain Nikolas was professional, friendly, and we were able to drive the boat, answer our questions, and give good advice for our stays, just like Mia :) We recommend it 100%!
So fun! Beautiful water nice boat. Small number of people. It was very chill laid-back feel they played fun music.
Such a fun boat trip with Captain Mirko and his 80s hit list of tunes! Great tour of all the major sites and knowledge of the history behind them! Can’t thank Miloš enough for helping us organise this tour as well as great price! Miloš provided great communication on the morning of are trip of all details and where we would be picked up which put are minds at ease 10/10 trip cant recommend enough!
Milos might just be the coolest captain in Montenegro! He shared so much about the Montenegro's history and culture, played great music, and took us around the Bay and to the most stunning Blue Caves — truly a must-see! It was my birthday, and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to celebrate. Professional, fun, and full of good vibes — easily the best day of the trip! 🎉⛵💙
