The experience

The boat leaves the Kotor Old Town pier, just across the main gates, and heads out into Kotor Bay. After about twenty minutes you reach Our Lady of the Rocks, the island church that sits in the middle of the water. The skipper stays with the boat while you decide how long to spend there. The church and museum are optional paid entries, so you can visit inside or simply walk the island and take photos from the deck. Because the boat is reserved only for you, there's no schedule pressure and no other groups waiting.

From there the tour moves to Perast, the UNESCO-protected Old Town across the bay. Perast is narrow streets and Baroque palaces built into the hillside, and you can walk it at whatever pace suits you: some travelers spend twenty minutes, others linger over an hour. Many stop at one of the local restaurants along the waterfront to watch the sunset from the water's edge while the skipper waits. The return to Kotor takes the same route back, and the whole outing runs roughly an hour and a half from start to finish.

The speedboat carries WiFi, bottled water and insurance. An English-speaking local skipper is included, and the boat itself is comfortable and built for safety. Families with infants are welcome. Children sit on an adult's lap. The tour suits all fitness levels since you're on the boat most of the time and walking is optional in both towns.
