9 Best Kotor Boat Tours (and 1 to Avoid)

Discover the best Kotor boat tours for your trip. See the top sights, beautiful scenery and swim on a fun boat tour in the stunning Bay of Kotor, Montenegro!

Kotor boat tours are one of the most popular things to do for visitors to Kotor.

And with good reason!

Kotor boat trips are great because:

• You get the most out of your visit by seeing the top sights faster than you can by car
• The scenery in Kotor Bay is stunning
• You can cool off with some swimming and spend some time on the beach
• Zooming around the bay in a boat is super fun!

We did the Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula and Blue Cave Boat Tour  and loved it!

Having said that, there’s a huge number of Kotor boat tours to choose from, and choosing one can be overwhelming! And some tours are not as advertised.  This tour , for example, is cheap and advertises itself as having a flexible return time, however it hasn’t offered that since 2021.

Most tours visit the two must-see sights:

• Our Lady of the Rocks

But you can also try local cuisine, hang out on the beach and visit other top destinations like Perast and Porto Montenegro marina.

The best Kotor Bay boat trip for you will probably depend on how much time you have and what you want to see. You can do a boat tour from Kotor in as little as 2 hours, or you can spend all day on a leisurely cruise.

I highly recommend taking one that visits Our Lady of the Rocks. The Blue Cave is great if you plan to swim or love natural wonders. If you’re more interested in history and museums, visiting Perast would be a better choice.

I’ve gone through them all and here is my round-up of the best Kotor boat tours. You’ll find tours that take anywhere from just a couple of hours to full-day cruises. You’ll also find both group and private boat tours. These are all highly-rated tours that have been reviewed by hundreds of other travelers.

If you’re short on time, below you’ll find my pick of the top 3 tours. And at the bottom of the page you’ll find tips on what to bring to get the most out of your Kotor boat tour.

1. Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula and Blue Cave Boat Tour

RATING: 4.7/5 ( 796+ reviews ) | TOUR LENGTH: 3 hours | BOOK NOW

Highlights of this tour:

• Submarine tunnels
• Mamula drive-by

The most popular of the Kotor speed boat tours, this boat tour takes you to the coast’s top attractions: Our Lady of the Rocks and the Blue Cave.

This Blue Cave boat tour starts out from Kotor City Park, which is conveniently located right opposite the old town. It takes you on a scenic ride through the Bay of Kotor, where you’ll be able to see the pretty stone houses and palaces lining the shore.

The first stop on the tour is the island church Our Lady of the Rocks by Perast. The island church is over 500 years old and has legends abound associated with it. The stories surrounding the island and its neighbour, Sveti Ɖorđe, give you an insight into the swashbuckling history of seafaring Perast’s past.

The next stop on the tour is Kotor Bay’s submarine caves, which were used to hide submarines during the Yugoslav era. You ride past Mamula Island, the former island prison that’s been turned into one of Montenegro's luxury hotels  and onto the Blue Cave .

When you get to the Blue Cave you can swim in its iridescent blue waters, snorkel and see the underwater marine life. The water here is incredibly clear and warm in summer. After swimming you cruise back through the bay to Kotor.

This is a great tour if you want to see the highlights of the bay in minimal time. It’s especially good if you’re visiting on a cruise and don’t have much time in Kotor. Combine it with a Kotor walking tour to cover the highlights of this area!

"Boat tour was nothing short of amazing. The breathtaking views, combined with the fascinating history of these coastal towns, made for an incredible journey. I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a unique and memorable adventure." - GetYourGuide traveller ( read more reviews )

I recommend checking the prices for this tour on both GetYourGuide and Viator . Although it’s the same tour, it will sometimes be cheaper on one booking site so it’s worth checking both!

You can book tickets on the group tour which leaves at 9am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm daily, or you can book this as a private tour. Click the links below to check pricing and availability for each option.

Private tours, 2. speed boat adventure.

RATING: 5/5 (8+ reviews) | TOUR LENGTH: 5 hours | BOOK NOW

• Rose fishing village

This private boat tour form Kotor is run by 5-star-rated guide, Ana Badnjar . The tour starts from Kotor, but since it’s a private tour you can start from anywhere.

The tour starts out with a fun speed boat ride through the bay to the Blue Cave. There, you can swim and snorkel in the cave’s blue waters. After swimming you cruise back into the Bay of Kotor.

The great thing about having a boat to yourself is you have plenty of space for sunbathing and this is the idea time, while you cruise towards the village of Rose.

Rose is a quaint and picturesque fishing village where you’ll stop for lunch after a quick stop at the old submarine base.

I recommend trying a local seafood dish like sea bass, calamari or buzara (seafood stew) with a glass of local wine (vranac if you like red wine, krstač) if you like white).

After lunch, you hop in the boat again and cruise to Our Lady of the Rocks. There, you have a guided tour through the church and museum. The church has incredible frescoes and the museum has exhibits from the local area that date back to the Bronze Age.

"Ana was a wonderful guide and she was very flexible with our itinerary making sure we got to see all the sights we were wanting to visit . The blue caves were definitely a highlight and on the way back Ana organized a beautiful platter of local food for us to sample at a nearby village. She was very knowledgeable about Kotor and even though we had limited time for our walking tour of the old city, it was very informative and enjoyable." - Bambi F., USA

After visiting Our Lady of the Rocks, you cruise back to Kotor , where you have a guided walking tour of the old town that includes top sights St Tryphon Cathedral and the Maritime Museum.

3. Boka Bay Day Cruise

RATING: 4.8/5 ( 249+ reviews ) | TOUR LENGTH: 8 hours | BOOK NOW

• Porto Montenegro

If you have a day to spend and want to take advantage of Montenegro’s gorgeous weather and sea, this full-day boat tour is for you. This tour takes you out on a spacious catamaran and it’s an amazing way to spend the day! 

Although this Kotor boat tour starts in Kotor, you can arrange a pick up from Budva, Tivat or Kotor. From Kotor, you cruise along the Bay of Kotor coastline to Bijela, where you stop for swimming.

Next, you head along the Herceg Novi Riveriera to circle around Mamula Island and learn about the island’s history.

Then you sail along the Luštica Peninsula coast to the Blue Cave , where you can swim in and around the cave. This area has incredibly clear water, so bring a snorkel and mask!

"Start to finish the day was amazing. Everything we did exceeded our expectations. The boat was roomy and felt very stable with lots of places to lounge in the sun or seek refuge in the shade. Our guide Nina was just the best, by far and away, knowledgeable and funny." - GetYourGuide traveller ( read more reviews )

After swimming here, you cruise back into the bay and over to Porto Montenegro in Tivat.

Porto Montenegro is the world’s first platinum-rated marina and you can wander the piers to see the super yachts, have lunch at one of the restaurants and explore Tivat.

After that, you head back on the boat to Our Lady of the Rocks for a guided tour of the church and museum on the island and more swimming.

This is the perfect day out on a boat in the Bay of Kotor!

4. Perast Old Town and Our Lady of the Rocks Boat Tour

RATING: 4.8/5 ( 167+ reviews ) | TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | BOOK NOW

If you are short on time and want to go out on a boat, but don’t feel like swimming in the Blue Cave, this boat trip from Kotor to Perast is ideal. 

At just 2 hours, you can see top sights, Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks , and still fit in a Kotor walking tour, even if you’re only in Kotor for a few hours. It’s a group tour and departs Kotor every two hours from Kotor City Park, opposite Kotor old town.

On this tour you cruise from Kotor along the coast to Our Lady of the Rocks island church. You can take a guided tour through the church and museum for a small fee. I highly recommend doing this because you learn so much about this area and its history as well as the 500-year-old church.

After visiting Our Lady of the Rocks, it’s a short trip in the speed boat to Perast. Perast is a known for its beautiful architecture, Baroque palaces and authentic atmosphere.

Perast was once the seat of wealth and power in the Bay of Kotor. A visit to the town museum will help you learn a lot about the Bay of Kotor and its history.

You can also climb the church spire or try an authentic seafood meal and wine at one of the seaside restaurants (the black risotto at Conte is my hubby's favourite!).

Whatever you do, Perast is a beautiful place to explore. The tour ends with a cruise back to Kotor.

"We booked this last minute whilst in Kotor. We had a morning free and decided to see Perast and Lady of the Rocks having decided against it before leaving. Pleased we did. My first time on a speedboat was an adventure and our guide was very personable and had some great 90s tunes playing. He was very knowledgeable about the area of Perast and Lady of the Rocks. The trip itself took two hours and still had a relaxed feel about it. Very enjoyable morning." - GetYourGuide traveller ( read more reviews )

This tour has both group tour and private tour options and it's available on both GetYourGuide and Viator . I recommend checking both sites to get the best price!

In contrast to Perast and its history, Tivat is a modern and vibrant town that’s home to Porto Montenegro, a luxury super yacht marina. You have free time here to admire the yachts, grab a bite to eat and shop in the boutiques.

After your time in Porto Montenegro, you take a relaxing cruise back through the bay to Kotor, where the tour finishes with a walking tour of Kotor old town that includes both St Tryphon Cathedral and the Maritime Museum.

6. Kotor Bay - Blue Cave Adventure and Beach Time

RATING: 4.5/5 ( 34+ reviews ) | TOUR LENGTH: 6 hours | BOOK NOW

8. 4-Hour Private Kotor Bay Boat Tour with Lunch and Wine Taste

RATING: 5/5 ( 13+ reviews ) | DURATION: 4.5 hours | BOOK NOW

• Lunch of fresh mussels

This tour is ideal for seeing the top sights of the Bay of Kotor and experiencing the bay’s local cuisine.

This private boat tour takes you from Kotor to Our Lady of the Rocks for a guided tour through the island’s church and museum.

After swimming in the cave, you cruise back through Kotor Bay to Perast for a visit of the Baroque town.

Then you head to Ljuta, a pretty hamlet just outside of Kotor, for a traditional lunch of mussel buzara and wine. Buzara is a traditional dish in the Bay of Kotor. It’s a seafood stew made with onions, garlic, wine and tomatoes. You can make it with any kind seafood, but most people make it with mussels.

If you don’t take this boat trip but would still love to try buzara , I recommend trying it at Konoba Ribar in Kostanjica in the Bay of Kotor.

After lunch, you return to Kotor on the boat.

"This was one of the best excursions that our family participated in during our mediterranean cruise. Marco was our boat captain. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to all of the important sights around Kotor and far outside the bay. The water was beautiful. The mussel farm was so fun, authentic, and delicious. We would do this trip again and recommend it to others!" - Melinda K. ( read more reviews ).

Tips for Kotor Boat Tours

• If you’re taking a tour that includes swimming, wear your swimsuit. Most boats (except the catamaran used on the Boka Bay Cruise) don’t have bathrooms or anywhere to change. Wearing your swimsuit at the start of the tour will save you from trying to awkwardly get changed in front of your fellow passengers!
• Bring a towel
• Bring goggles or a snorkel and mask (if you have them). The water in the Bay of Kotor and around the Blue Cave is very clear. If you have goggles or a snorkel and mask  you’ll be able to see fish, starfish and sea urchins!
• Bring warmer layers, even if it’s hot. The wind chill on a speed boat can make you feel cold, even on the hottest days, especially if you’re wet from swimming. Bring a long-sleeved top to keep yourself warm
• Bring sunscreen and a sun hat. You might be in the direct sun on the boat, so sunscreen and a sunhat are a must!

Should I have a skipper on board my private boat charter in Kotor?

If you have a licence to sail, you might prefer a bareboat vessel however, everyone can benefit from the presence of a skipper on board. Skippers can act as an extra set of hands while you do all of the sailing, or they can take the helm if you want to relax and spend more time with the ones you love. If you don’t have a sailing licence, no problem! Skippers will handle all of the logistics such as docking, anchoring and navigating the vessel, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. The other great thing about having a skipper on board is the fact that they are usually locals, so they can give you advice about where to go and what to see while in Kotor and if you’re lucky, show you some hidden gems.

What type of boat should I choose for my Kotor yacht rental?

When choosing the right vessel for your sailing holiday, it’s important to think about how much time you’ll be spending on the water, and what you’ll need on board. Daily charters like motorboats and RIBS are recommended for holidays of less than a week whereas a more spacious vessel is ideal for a week or more. Catamarans and yachts are perfect vessels for longer holidays and they have plenty of amenities on board to accommodate all of your needs.

If you fancy a traditional sailing experience, you might like a sailboat however, we recommend choosing a skippered sailboat since these vessels are notorious for being unstable on the water and difficult to navigate. So, which vessel will you choose for your yacht rental in Kotor?

Seize this unique opportunity to discover some of the famous views of Montenegro, sailing in carefree comfort on stunning Boka Bay .

Step aboard the glamourous Tahi -- a sailing catamaran docked at Kotor's pier. Your sightseeing cruise starts here, and you'll set out on the blue waters of Boka Bay, surrounded by dramatic high cliffs. You're headed across the bay to the famous area of the beautiful Baroque town of Perast and the magical islet of Our Lady of the Rocks with its pretty church.

The catamaran offers panoramic viewing of the islet which, according to legend, was created over the centuries by seamen who kept an ancient oath -- returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the bay, and, over time, the islet gradually emerged from the sea.

Watch for the Porto Montenegro Marina -- the first luxury marina on the Adriatic. Step ashore at the Movida Restaurant & Lounge Club at the Solila Marina, where you can swim at beautiful Solila Beach or simply relax on a sunbed.

Finally, board a motorcoach for a pleasant drive back to the port.

Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Adriatic beaches are typically pebble beaches rather than sand.
