The experience
The boat leaves from Herceg Novi and heads straight into the Bay of Kotor, which means you're on the water within minutes instead of sitting in a minibus with thirty other people. The route hits three places: Kotor's UNESCO-listed old town with its narrow streets and stone buildings pressed against the mountains, Perast with its baroque palaces facing the water, and Our Lady of the Rocks. An artificial island with a church that sits in the middle of the bay like something from a postcard. Four hours and thirty minutes total, but the timing at each stop is yours to set. Want to spend an hour photographing the stone facades in Kotor? You can. Want to skip the walk and just sit on deck with a coffee? That works too.
The boat itself is small. That's the whole point. There's a fridge on board, bottled water, WiFi, and a bimini sunshade that actually matters when you're on the water in summer. Life jackets are there for everyone, including kids. The shower is a real thing, not a gimmick, and the sound system runs off Bluetooth if you want to queue up your own music. Seat cushions come standard. You're not roughing it. You're just not crammed in with a tour group reciting facts from a script. The skipper knows the bay and adjusts the route based on what you want to see. The Island of Saint George is private, so you photograph it from the boat, but everything else is yours to explore at whatever pace feels right.
Two fees apply if you decide to land: €10 for docking in Kotor (paid to the port when you arrive) and €5 per person if you step onto Our Lady of the Rocks island itself. Neither is included in the tour price, so budget for both if you want to walk the church. The boat handles infants in a lap and small children fine, though it's not recommended if you have spinal issues or are pregnant. The water can get choppy, and the ride isn't smooth. Everyone else, regardless of fitness level, tends to be fine. Pickup is from Herceg Novi, and public transport gets you there if you don't have a rental car.
Is this one for you?Right for travelers who want to see the Bay of Kotor's three main highlights without a large group dictating the pace. The four-and-a-half-hour duration means you cover real distance and multiple stops, but the private boat and flexible timing let you linger where it matters to you.
