Bay of Kotor Private Boat Tour – Montenegro

One of the most unique settings in Europe, the Bay of Kotor deserves a visit. During the summer season you can “see it” while sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, or you can get out on the water for free movement and the best views. Of course, we recommend taking in the sights from the Bay of Kotor private boat tour. With epic views, a 5-star captain, cold drinks, and an onboard bathroom, this excursion is ideal for couples, families, or an outing with friends.

Pickup can be arranged at different points around the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) with the normal starting point at the dock in front of Old Town Kotor. During your trip you will see Kotor from the water as well as other Venetian coastal towns including Dobrota and Perast. Other highlights include the island churches of St. George and the ever photogenic Our Lady of the Rock.

While there are some key sights the captain will usually steer groups to, there is flexibility to do what best suits guests. Outings to the open sea and the Blue Cave are possible with longer bookings. Another possibility includes ancient artifacts near Risan, the former capital of Illyrium. For adventure lovers, a beach run is possible or jumping off the massive rock near Dobrota. A dolphin escort even happens on occasion.
