The classic
Boka Bay Tour
Past St. Mark’s Island and Our Lady of Mercy and into an old submarine tunnel, then through the Verige Strait to Our Lady of the Rocks and half an hour in baroque Perast.
Three routes, and one of your own.
Every tour is private — just your group, Boris and the boat — and leaves the Tivat promenade whenever suits you. Compare the four side by side, see where each one sails, or let three quick questions point you to yours.

Boris’s favourite
Kotor & the inner bay
Caves, coves & lunch
Both halves of the bay take four hours — one more than you planned.
A Custom Tour is at least five hours long.
Children are welcome from the age of two, and there are life jackets on board — tell Boris their ages when you book.
The whole route stays inside the sheltered bay, away from the swell of the open sea.
The Blue Cave lies on the open sea, which can be livelier than the bay — mornings are usually the calmest. Rather stay sheltered? The Boka Bay Tour never leaves the bay.
The open sea can be livelier than the bay — tell Boris when you book and he’ll plan the calmest day.
From 9 to 14 guests you sail on Negroni, our larger boat — meet our boats.

Questions, answered.
All questions & answers
Something else on your mind?
Ask Boris on WhatsApp
How do I book a tour?
Send Boris a WhatsApp message with the tour, the date and how many of you are coming — or simply call. He confirms availability and agrees every detail with you.
Are the tours really private?
Yes. Every tour is private, even for a single guest: the boat, the skipper and the route are only for your group — no strangers, no fixed group schedule.
Do we get off the boat along the way?
On the Boka Bay Tour you can step ashore at Our Lady of the Rocks, the church on its own island, for about 20 minutes, and then spend half an hour in Perast; Boka Bay + Blue Cave stops at the island too. On the Blue Cave Tour you get into the water instead. To walk Kotor or Herceg Novi, choose a Custom Tour — you decide where to stop. All about Our Lady of the Rocks
Can we swim during the tour?
Of course — swimming is half the fun. Dive into the glowing blue water of the Blue Cave, stop in a quiet cove or, if you’re brave, jump from the rocks. The coves of Luštica
Can we always get into the Blue Cave?
The Blue Cave lies on the open sea, so it depends on the waves. If the sea isn’t calm enough that day, Boris will suggest another time or a route inside the sheltered bay. All about the Blue Cave
What if the weather turns?
Safety comes first. If the sea isn’t right, Boris will suggest another time or a sheltered route inside the bay.
How many of us can come?
We have two boats: the smaller one takes up to 8 guests, the larger one up to 14. Tell Boris how many of you are coming and he’ll suggest the right one. Meet our boats
