Kotor Boat Tours
Boat tours of the Bay of Kotor
Boat tours from Kotor cover the inner bay on group boats and private charters: the classic half-day circuit calls at Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks and the Blue Cave on the Lustica peninsula, with longer full-bay runs adding Mamula island and the Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels. Group seats run €25 to €45 per person, departures leave the Kotor marina between 09:00 and 11:00 daily through the season, and vessels range from 12-passenger speedboats to 40-seat traditional wooden boats.
Most operators include onboard commentary, life jackets and a 30 to 60 minute swimming stop at one of the bay coves, and the island church visit includes its small museum on most itineraries. Skippered private boats take the same route on your own timetable, with pickup possible from the Dobrota and Muo waterfronts, and sunset departures run through high summer.
Bookings can usually be made same-day or next-day at the marina kiosks; July and August dates are best reserved a day ahead, and spring and autumn sailings run a reduced timetable around the weather.

FAQ
Quick answers for planning a day on the water from Kotor.
Which boat tour from Kotor is the classic first pick?
The half-day circuit to Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks and the Blue Cave. It covers the bay's three signature stops in one sitting, includes a swim, and leaves enough of the day for the Old Town afterwards.
How long do the tours last, and when do they leave?
Half-day group tours run three to four hours, leaving the Kotor marina between 09:00 and 11:00. Full-bay runs stretch to six or seven hours, and sunset departures operate through high summer.
What should I bring for the swimming stop?
Swimwear, a towel and sun cover; water shoes help on the rocky coves. The stop lasts 30 to 60 minutes depending on the itinerary, and boats carry life jackets as standard.
Can I reach Our Lady of the Rocks without a full tour?
Yes. Shuttle boats cross from the Perast waterfront in a few minutes year-round, so the island works as a stop on a bay drive as well as a tour highlight.
Do boats run outside the summer season?
The regular group timetable runs roughly May to October. In spring and autumn departures thin out and depend on the weather; through winter the trips are mostly private charters arranged directly with operators.
Group seat or private charter?
Group boats are the economical way to see the standard stops on a fixed schedule. Private charters carry up to six on the same route with your own timing, swim stops where you choose, and pickup from the Dobrota or Muo waterfronts.
