Cruising from Kotor: Your Adventure Begins
Your journey starts from the Kotor waterfront, where one of our modern speedboats awaits. Our boats are clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for a pleasant ride—including shade, soft seating, and complimentary refreshments such as water, sodas, and beer. You’ll be welcomed by one of our licensed, English-speaking skippers, who will guide you through the tour with local insight and friendly service.
As we glide out of Kotor’s harbor, you’ll enjoy a unique perspective of the old town’s medieval walls set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. The scenery quickly shifts to tranquil blue waters, rolling hills, and quaint stone villages. This peaceful ride sets the tone for a tour that invites you to take a breath, enjoy the moment, and embrace the slower pace of life in Boka Bay.
Step Into History: Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks
Our first stop is the charming town of Perast, one of the most beautiful and historic villages on the Montenegrin coast. With just one main road and no heavy traffic, Perast is quiet, romantic, and picture-perfect. The town is home to well-preserved palaces, baroque architecture, and ancient churches that reflect its long maritime tradition. You’ll have free time to explore, walk along the promenade, or simply enjoy the serenity of the surroundings.
Just off the coast of Perast lies Our Lady of the Rocks, a man-made islet with a fascinating history. Legend has it that sailors discovered an icon of the Virgin Mary on a sea rock in the 15th century and vowed to build a church on that very spot. Over generations, locals created the island by sinking old ships and placing stones around it—a tradition still honored today during the annual fašinada ceremony.
The church itself is a treasure trove of baroque art, maritime artifacts, and local heritage. Inside, you’ll find paintings by Tripo Kokolja, votive offerings from sailors, and a serene atmosphere that echoes centuries of faith and dedication. You’ll have time to visit the island, enter the church, and take in views of the bay that stretch endlessly in all directions.
A Taste of the Bay: Wine and Mussels by the Water
After diving into the culture and history of Boka Bay, we continue our journey with a special culinary stop that brings you closer to local life. Tucked into a quiet cove, surrounded by emerald waters and mountain silhouettes, lies a small, family-run mussel farm. This is not a restaurant or tourist stop—it’s a slice of real Montenegro, where fresh seafood meets calm, scenic beauty.
Here, guests are invited to sit and enjoy a plate of freshly harvested mussels, prepared simply to preserve their natural flavor. The mussels are served hot, accompanied by a glass of chilled local white wine, creating the perfect balance of taste and tranquility. The price for this optional experience is just 12.5 EUR per person, paid directly on-site.
This is more than just a meal—it’s a moment to relax, soak in the peaceful views, and experience the bay like a local. The setting is floating and intimate, with seating right by the water and the sound of gentle waves as your soundtrack. For many of our guests, this is the highlight of the tour—a taste of the sea, shared in good company, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Comfortable Ride, Refreshing Drinks, Unforgettable Memories
After the mussel farm visit, we slowly cruise back toward Kotor, giving you time to relax, take photos, or enjoy a cold drink on board. Throughout the tour, we offer complimentary refreshments, including water, soft drinks, and beer.
