Private Boat Tour from Kotor — Your Own Speedboat & Skipper
Your boat, your group, your captain — no strangers, no fixed schedule. Custom routes across the Bay of Kotor. From €150 per boat for 2 hours.
What "private boat tour" means here
A private boat tour from Kotor with us means you book the entire boat — captain included — for the duration of the tour. No strangers join. No fixed schedule. No 30-person tour boat. Just your group, your captain, and a modern speedboat on the Bay of Kotor for as long as you want.
The boat is a 2024 Atlantic Marine 670 Open — 7m long, Yamaha 150 HP outboard, cushioned seating for 6 with two additional padded spots, bimini sun cover, swim ladder, life jackets in all sizes. It carries up to 8 guests comfortably. Whether you book it for 2 people or 8, the boat is yours alone.
Pricing is per boat, not per person. The Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks tour is €150 whether you are a couple or a family of 6. The Blue Cave tour is €320. The 5-hour Beach & Cave Explorer is €400. A custom-route tour is quoted based on time. Cash on the day, no advance deposit.
Private boat tour vs group tour from Kotor
The difference is bigger than most travellers expect. Here is how a private tour compares to the typical 25-seat group day boat.
| Aspect | Private (us) | Group day boat |
|---|---|---|
| Who shares the boat | Just your group — couple, family, friends, up to 8 | 15–30 strangers on a 25-seat day boat |
| Departure time | You pick — early sunrise, mid-morning, sunset | Fixed departure (usually 09:00 or 10:30) |
| Route flexibility | Change route on the day — swim longer, skip a stop, add Perast lunch | Fixed itinerary, no changes |
| Swim breaks | As long as you want, where you want | Brief, schedule-driven |
| Photos | No queue at the Blue Cave or Our Lady of the Rocks | Wait your turn |
| Pricing | Per boat (€150–€480 depending on tour) | Per person (€30–€60) |
| Cost example (couple) | €150 for 2h Perast tour = €75/person | €40/person × 2 = €80 total — but on a group boat |
| Cost example (family of 5) | €320 for 3h Blue Cave = €64/person | €40/person × 5 = €200 total, fixed schedule |
Who a private boat tour is best for
Couples
Anniversaries, honeymoons, surprise proposals. A private boat at sunset with the bay almost empty is a memory that survives years. Around €75–€160/person for a half-day depending on route.
Families with kids
Kids set the pace, you stop where you want, swim breaks last as long as the youngest needs. Child life jackets included. Welcome from 2 years and up. Around €50–€90/person for a family of 5.
Friend groups of 4–8
Best value for private: you split the per-boat cost across more people. €60–€80/person for the Blue Cave tour. Music allowed, your bottle of wine welcome, route is yours.
Special occasions
Birthdays, work retreats, small wedding-party cruises, photo shoots at Our Lady of the Rocks. Tell us the occasion and we adapt the route, timing, and on-board details.

Frequently asked questions
Is a private boat tour from Kotor worth the extra cost over a group tour?
For couples and groups of 3+, a private boat tour is often only 30–60% more expensive total than buying the equivalent group seats — and the experience is dramatically better. No strangers, no schedule, swim where and how long you want, no queue at the Blue Cave entrance. For solo travellers, group tours win on price alone. For everyone else, private wins on experience.
How is the price calculated for a private boat tour?
Per boat, not per person. A 2-hour Perast tour is €150 whether you are 2 guests or 6. A 3-hour Blue Cave tour is €320, 5-hour Beach & Cave Explorer €400, 6-hour Full Bay Discovery €480. Custom-route tours are quoted on request. Same per-boat principle regardless of group size, up to a maximum of 8 guests.
Can we design our own custom private boat tour from Kotor?
Yes — that is one of the main benefits of going private. Tell us what you want: a half-day sunset cruise with a swim stop, a full-day to Herceg Novi and back, a private lunch at Žanjic with a 2-hour beach break, a fishing-spot tour, a wedding photo shoot at Our Lady of the Rocks. Send the rough plan on WhatsApp and we will quote a custom price for the time you want on the water.
What does "private" actually mean — do we get the captain too?
Yes. Private means the entire boat is yours for the duration of the tour, including the captain. He drives, narrates the bay's history, suggests photo angles, anchors for swim stops, and is your local guide for the day. He is not a tour guide entertaining a group — he is your captain working with your group.
Do you guarantee no other guests will join our private boat tour?
Yes. Private means private — only your group is on the boat. We never combine bookings or sell empty seats to other guests. If you book a couple's tour, only you and your partner are on board.
How many guests fit on the private boat?
Up to 8 guests on our 2024 Atlantic Marine 670 Open. Cushioned seating for 6 with two additional padded spots. Bimini sun cover for shade. Life jackets in adult and child sizes. We welcome children from 2 years and up.
How far in advance should we book a private boat tour?
July and August: at least 2–3 days ahead, sometimes a week for peak slots (early morning Blue Cave tours, sunset returns). June and September: 1–2 days usually enough. May and October: same-day often possible. Outside the April–October season we run by request only.
Can we book a private boat tour for a special occasion?
Yes — anniversaries, proposals, birthdays, small wedding-party photo cruises, family reunions. Tell us what the occasion is and we adjust: a chilled bottle on board, a route to a specific spot for photos, an extended Perast stop for lunch reservation, a sunset return. Whatever fits.
What boat is used for the private tour?
Single boat: 2024 Atlantic Marine 670 Open. 7m long, 2.47m beam, Yamaha 150 HP outboard, bimini sun cover, cushioned seating, swim ladder. Modern, fast, comfortable, well maintained. Photos on our fleet section.
How do I book a private boat tour — is there a deposit?
WhatsApp +382 69 202 842 with your dates, group size, and what you want to see. We reply within minutes during operating hours (08:00–20:00). No deposit, no card details, no booking fee — you confirm by message and pay cash to the captain after the tour finishes.
