Full description
Step aboard a modern speedboat and experience the dramatic coastal beauty of Boka Bay on this 3-hour small-group adventure. Departing from Kotor, you'll cruise along the stunning Montenegrin coast, guided by your local skipper Aleksa, who’ll share historical insights and fun stories throughout the trip.
Your first stop is the iconic Blue Cave, a natural wonder known for its glowing turquoise water. Dive in for a swim or simply admire the surreal play of light on the stone walls.
Next, make a short stop at Mamula Island, once a notorious 19th-century prison used during both World Wars. Continue past Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels, carved into the cliffs to conceal and repair military submarines during the Cold War.
The journey continues to Our Lady of the Rocks, a man-made islet near Perast with a baroque church built by sailors in the 15th century. Hear the legend of the island, and enjoy sweeping views of Perast and its 18th-century bell tower.
As you cruise back, enjoy music on board, pass the abandoned village of Old Stoliv, the narrow Verige Strait, and the marinas of Tivat and Herceg Novi. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing swim, coastal history, or postcard-worthy views, this tour delivers it all in just three hours!

Park Slobode near the waterfront in Kotor

Hi, I’m Aleksa, your skipper and guide. Born and raised on the Bay of Kotor, I’ve been guiding boat tours for years and I love combining local stories with good music and making sure everyone feels safe, relaxed, and a little amazed. Whether you’re here to swim, learn history, or just vibe to the playlist, I’ll make sure you leave the boat with great memories and maybe a splash or two! 😄

The tour was great! Our guide Aleksa was really friendly, explained a lot about the area and helped everyone on and off the boat whenever we stopped. The highlight was seeing the blue cave and swimming around the area!

We did the 9 a.m. boat tour in Kotor and it was just perfect. The ride took us through the submarine tunnels, the Blue Cave, the Lady of the Rocks, and all around the the views were gorgeous the whole way. My opinion, the best time to do the store was 9 AM exactly like we did it because around 12 when we were about to finish the door and started getting very hot so I think any later would be a little bit too hot for us personally (September) Our guide Aleksa, really made the trip. He was super friendly, told the stories interest, and shared everything from his own perspective as a local. It felt genuine, and he made sure everyone was following along and enjoying. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. Such a great way to see Kotor Bay highly recommend!

Aleksa was an amazing captain! We had the best time exploring the blue cave. Our group enjoyed our day immensely. Would highly recommend this tour and Captain Aleksa!

The tour was really great, the 3 hour tour went by so fast because it was exciting, you can take great photos here, get amazing views of the bays and sea. I really liked the Blue Cave and the swim there, also, music taste really is good.

We did a speedboat tour in Kotor and it was one of the highlights of our trip! What I enjoyed the most was the perfect mix of stunning scenery, adrenaline, and relaxing moments on the water. Cruising along the Bay of Kotor with the wind in my hair and the breathtaking mountain backdrop was unforgettable. Our skipper was fantastic – very friendly, careful, and thoughtful throughout the tour. He made us feel safe at all times and explained everything really well, from the local sights to the history behind them. His calm and professional manner really added to the experience.
