Itinerary
Begin with a scenic cruise through the Bay of Kotor, enjoying views of historic fishing villages, Mediterranean greenery, and coastal landscapes along the shoreline.
Step onto Our Lady of the Rocks, a captivating man-made island shaped by generations of local seafarers. Explore the historic church, hear the fascinating story of how the island was created, and admire its remarkable collection of artworks, votives, and handcrafted treasures. This unique stop offers an unforgettable glimpse into Montenegro’s maritime history and local traditions. It will be a place where visitors may listen to the fascinating story of the island's beginnings and see the countless works of art, votives, and other handcrafted items.
Pass by Perast, a charming town that thrived during the Venetian era as a maritime hub. Its elegant baroque palaces, centuries-old churches, and narrow stone streets reflect a rich seafaring and cultural heritage.
Experience the magical blue glow of Montenegro’s famous Blue Cave. To preserve this natural wonder, motorized boats now remain outside, ensuring a pristine environment free from engine exhaust and noise. We anchor safely just 10–20 meters from the entrance, letting you swim right into the cave to experience the glowing water up close. Life jackets are provided!
Pass by Mamula Island, a small fortress island with a dramatic history. Built in the 19th century as a military fort and later used as a prison during World War II, the island’s imposing walls and strategic location tell tales of Montenegro’s turbulent past. As you cruise by, hear fascinating stories of its military significance, wartime legends, and the secrets it once held.
Cruise through the narrowest point of the Bay of Kotor, Verige, and reach the Bay of Tivat to explore the former submarine tunnels. Once a top-secret military site, these tunnels are now open to visitors, where you can hear incredible stories of Montenegro’s Cold War history.

We had such an amazing time with our two drivers, Goran and Vasiliy! They were fantastic—full of great stories, fun surprises along the way, and they really made the whole experience special. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and every stop was well chosen. They even had snorkelling goggles ready for us! We had the most incredible day and made some wonderful memories. Thank you both so much for such a brilliant experience—we loved every minute! ❤️
Egi and Levi - great guides, great tour, great experience. Would definitely do this tour again.
This is why we take the private speedboat out. Great water, Kotor at your pace. Do it again. 💙
Egi and levi were great! They answered all my tourists questions. They both made the boat ride smooth and comfortable.
Love a smooth ride and a curious guest. Kotor Bay is more fun when you ask everything. Come back and ask more. 😄
Egi and levi Very nice and friendly. We had a great time. It was such a nice way to spend time on the water and see the caves.
Best day in Kotor is our favourite sentence. Caves, water, no rush in the heart. We’ll keep a speedboat warm. ☀️
egi and levi were wonderful. They were very helpful great tour guides and very nice people.
This one felt like a hug. Wonderful people, wonderful bay. See you on the water. 🫶
Egi and levi were amazing tour guides!! They took us around all the beautiful parts of Montenegro & they were very knowledgeable. The swimming was the best part of the whole trip!!!
Swimming was the whole point, wasn’t it. Best views, best dip, Montenegro doing its thing. Come back for another plunge. 💦
Mark and Marko we had so much fun it was really nice and I recommend everyone to go with Mark and Marko
The boat tour was OK overall, but unfortunately it felt very rushed from start to finish. The skipper seemed to be in a hurry, which meant we couldn’t properly relax and enjoy the different stops. The biggest disappointment was the Blue Cave, which was the main attraction for us. We didn’t even get 20 minutes there, which felt far too short considering its importance and the time spent travelling to it. The trip itself was okay, but the rushed pace took away from the experience. We would have appreciated a more relaxed itinerary with enough time to actually enjoy the key attractions.
Sorry it felt rushed - that is not the pace we want. Thanks for the honest note on the Blue Cave; we will pass it to the skipper. Next time go private and you set the clock at every stop.
We had a great time with captain Mark and Marko Very kind and polite They explained every thing during the whole tour We enjoyed this tour so much and we recommend you to choose them
Thank you for the 5 stars! It was a pleasure having you on board.
Great experience and great captains mark and marko
Glad you enjoyed the cruise! Come sail with us again soon.
