Boka Bay Private Speedboat Tour: Our Lady of the Rocks & Kotor

Swim in the bay, taste homemade wine aboard, and explore a UNESCO medieval town by foot.

A four-hour private speedboat tour of Boka Bay departs from your hotel dock and visits Our Lady of the Rocks (an artificial islet with a centuries-old church), then drops you in Kotor Old Town for 90 minutes of independent exploration before a swimming break on the return. The tour includes a luxury Sea Ray speedboat, an English-speaking skipper-guide, snorkeling gear, a bottle of homemade local wine, and bottled water. You arrange your own lunch in town.

The experience

The tour starts at the dock nearest your hotel, where a skipper-guide meets you to board the Sea Ray speedboat. From there, the boat heads into Boka Bay toward Our Lady of the Rocks, a small artificial islet near the baroque town of Perast. The church on the island holds paintings by local artists, votive silver tablets, and a hair-made tapestry: artifacts that survive from centuries of pilgrimage. After time on the island, the speedboat cruises toward the bay's mouth, passing the tiny settlements that ring the water.

The boat then carries you into Kotor, where the skipper drops you at the port and you walk into the UNESCO-listed Old Town on your own for roughly 90 minutes. The medieval streets, St. Tryphon Cathedral, and the city walls are yours to move through at your pace. Many travelers stop for coffee or lunch during this stretch. The skipper picks you up at the same dock when the time is up, and on the return journey the boat stops for a swimming break in the bay: a chance to cool off and use the snorkeling gear stowed aboard. A bottle of homemade local wine and towels are part of the experience.

The speedboat itself is the vessel: a luxury Sea Ray SPX 210 with WiFi on board, which means the four hours move at a comfortable cruising pace rather than a rushed one. The guide speaks English and knows the bay's history and the stops along the way. Bottled water is included. Bring or buy lunch in Kotor Old Town, as meals are not part of the booking.

Is this one for you?The tour moves at a leisurely pace (most of the four hours is spent cruising or swimming rather than walking), so it suits travelers who want to see the bay's landmarks without strenuous activity. The 90-minute stop in Kotor Old Town is unguided, which means you set your own rhythm there. If you prefer a guided walk through the medieval streets, this tour leaves that to you.

What is Our Lady of the Rocks and why do people visit it?

Our Lady of the Rocks is an artificial islet near Perast that holds a church built over centuries by local pilgrims. The church contains paintings by local artists, votive silver tablets left by visitors, and a tapestry made from hair: artifacts that reflect the island's long spiritual history. The speedboat takes you to the island so you can walk inside the church and see these pieces firsthand.

How much time do I get to explore Kotor Old Town?

You have approximately 90 minutes in Kotor Old Town after the boat drops you at the port. That span is enough to walk the medieval streets, visit St. Tryphon Cathedral and the city walls, take photos, and sit down for coffee or a meal before the skipper picks you up at the same dock for the return journey.

Is the swimming stop included, and do I need my own snorkeling gear?

Yes, the tour includes a swimming break in the bay on the return journey. Snorkeling equipment is provided on board, so you don't need to bring your own. Clean towels are also included.

What's included to eat and drink during the four hours?

A bottle of homemade local wine and bottled water are served on board. Lunch is not included. Most travelers eat in Kotor Old Town during the 90-minute stop there, where cafes and restaurants line the streets.

Does the tour include hotel pickup and drop-off?

The skipper picks you up at the dock closest to your hotel and returns you to the same dock at the end of the tour. If your hotel is not directly on the water, you'll need to arrange your own transport to and from that dock. Public transportation options are available nearby.
