Exploring the Bay of Kotor by Boat

Exploring the Bay of Kotor by Boat

tours

Experience the magic of Kotor Bay from a completely new perspective – from the deck of our specially equipped boat. This unique fjord, carved between the mighty mountains of Orjen and Lovćen, represents one of the most impressive natural wonders of the Mediterranean.

Our voyage begins from the ancient city of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, whose walls have defied time for centuries. As we leave the city harbor, a magnificent view of the bay unfolds before us, which locals affectionately call “the bride of the Adriatic.”

The first stop on our journey is the picturesque town of Perast, the former maritime center of Boka Kotorska. Its baroque palaces and churches testify to the golden age of seafaring when local captains were respected worldwide. We’ll make a special stop at two beautiful churches on the islands - Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George.

Our Lady of the Rocks conceals a fascinating story about its origin – the only artificial island in the Adriatic, created through decades of sinking old sailboats and throwing rocks. Today, it’s home to a beautiful church with an exceptional collection of artworks and sailors’ votive offerings.

What to Expect on the Tour?

  • Swimming in Crystal Waters - Enjoy refreshing swims at carefully selected locations along the bay, where the turquoise sea meets the dramatic mountain landscape.

  • Hidden Beaches and Coves - Discover magical beaches and coves accessible only by sea, away from crowds and tourist bustle.

  • Gastronomic Experience - Try traditional Bokelian specialties and premium Montenegrin wines while enjoying panoramic views of the bay.

  • History and Legends - Listen to fascinating stories about maritime tradition, Venetian rule, and local legends that form the rich cultural heritage of this region.

  • Photo Opportunities - Capture unforgettable moments from unique locations that provide perfect photography settings.

Natural Beauty Throughout the Day

A special charm of our tour is observing how the bay’s landscape changes throughout the day. The morning mist hovering over the water gradually gives way to bright midday sun reflecting in the crystal sea. As the day progresses, the surrounding mountains are painted in golden-red hues, creating a magical sunset atmosphere.
