At a glance

No fixed route — just the day you want.

A Custom Tour is the boat, the skipper and the whole bay for five to eight hours, and the route is yours to choose. Walk Kotor’s old town, swim in the Blue Cave and a quiet cove on Luštica, sit down to a long seafood lunch by the water — or simply drift between the islands.

Boris’s own favourite is a six-hour day: the islands off Tivat and the submarine tunnel, Mamula and a swim in the Blue Cave, lunch by the sea on Luštica, then Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast in the afternoon. Take it as it is, or as a starting point.

It is private from one guest up: only your group on board, from the hour that suits you. Staying further away? A transfer to the promenade can be arranged on request.

Plan your day

Pick your places — we’ll chart the course.

Tick the places you would love to see. The chart puts them in a sensible order, from the Tivat promenade and back, and works out roughly how long the day takes. Send the plan to Boris and he will fit it to the weather, the sea — and you.

Good to know

A long day, well planned.

Best light
On a long day, set off in the morning: the open sea is usually calmest early, the Blue Cave glows brightest towards midday, and the island church is quieter before the big tour boats arrive.
Lunch by the sea
Boris’s favourite is a fish restaurant on a beach on Luštica, a few minutes from the Blue Cave — the day’s catch, right by the water. Tell him when you book and he will reserve a table; lunch is paid at the restaurant.
Transfers
Staying further away? A transfer to the Tivat promenade can be arranged on request — ask Boris when you book. From Tivat Airport it is only a few minutes.
Sea & weather
The open sea and its caves depend on the waves; the inner bay is almost always calm. If the sea is up, Boris swaps the open sea for the sheltered bay — and tells you before you set off.
Children & groups
Children are welcome from the age of two — tell Boris their ages when you book. Up to 8 guests sail on Antonija, up to 14 on Negroni: see our boats.

Into an old submarine tunnel, past the island fortress of Mamula and out to the Blue Cave, where the water glows electric blue — swim right in — and on to two more sea caves nearby.
