Details

Make the Blue Cave the centerpiece of your day, without feeling rushed.
This private speedboat tour is designed for travelers seeking a comfortable, premium experience, with ample time to swim, explore, and capture photos at a relaxed rhythm.

A Private Cruise Through Boka Bay
Departing from Kotor, you’ll take in open-water views as you pass stone villages, historic churches, and the steep mountains framing the Bay of Kotor. With a private boat, the pace is calmer and the atmosphere more personal—an ideal choice for couples, friends, and families who value both comfort and flexibility.

A Stop at Our Lady of the Rocks
Your first stop is Our Lady of the Rocks, one of only two man-made islands in Europe, constructed by local sailors centuries ago. Step ashore to visit the small church and its museum, then take a few minutes to stroll the island before continuing.

Submarine Base & Tunnels
Next, head toward the old Yugoslav Navy submarine base, carved into the rock at Zanjic. Cruise into the tunnels once used to shelter submarines—a blend of history and striking scenery that typical group tours rarely include.

Passing Mamula Island
From there, pass by Mamula Island, home to a 19th-century fortress that once guarded the bay’s entrance. It makes for a worthwhile photo opportunity and offers a glimpse into the region’s military past.

Blue Cave Swim Time
Then comes the moment many guests look forward to: the Blue Cave. Local regulations now prohibit motorized boats from entering, ensuring the cave remains peaceful, free of engine noise and exhaust fumes. Your boat anchors 10 to 20 meters from the entrance, allowing you to swim directly into the cave and experience its glowing blue waters up close.

Flexible Photo Moments Along the Coast
Because the tour is private, you can pause at scenic viewpoints whenever it suits your group. The order and timing may vary slightly depending on sea conditions and local rules, but safety always remains the priority.

This tour is about freedom and ease—a Montenegro experience on the water, tailored to you and your companions.

Meeting point

Your tour starts in City Park (Park Slobode 1), located just 200 meters from the Main Gate of the Old Town and within a short walking distance from the Port of Kotor. Guests arriving from a cruise ship: After leaving the ship and passing through security, turn left. When you reach the small bridge, turn left again towards the park. Near the seaside, you will see an information desk where our skipper and staff member will be waiting to welcome you. Please be at the meeting point at least 30 minutes early. If you miss the tour, you can join the next available slot as agreed with the operator. If you’re arriving by car, we recommend allowing extra time for your journey. Heavy traffic is expected around the park, which is also your tour’s starting point, along with delays caused by ongoing roadworks on the main road.

Places you will see

• Our Lady of the Rocks – an artificial island with a church near Perast
• Verige Strait – a narrow scenic passage within Boka Bay
• Mamula Island – featuring a historic fortress
• Luštica Peninsula – coastline views along the outer bay
• Blue Cave – a natural cave with glowing blue water (swim stop)

You have the boat for yourself with the captain. They allow you to play your own music and bring some drinks/snacks onboard. The captain was really good, explained the local attractions and any questions we had. The sea was rough but he managed to find a nice stop for us to swim at the entrance of the submarine base. It’s worth the price, for an enjoyable experience if you are not a fan of crowded tour excursions packed like sardines in a boat.

We had the most amazing captain so respectful, kind, and great at communicating with us his name is Petra (not sure if I spelt that right) He truly made the experience even better. The boat cruise itself was incredible, and getting a private boat was absolutely worth it. It was so peaceful, beautiful, and just the perfect vibe. I booked it with two of my friends, and we had the best time. Everything was a solid 10/10, and I would highly, highly recommend it!

Fantastic day! The boat ride was both educational and enjoyable! Absolutely beautiful area. Swimming near the blue caves was the highlight. Our driver Egemen was great and he recommended an amazing lunch spot after the cruise. Such a memorable day!

We had the best day with Banjo!!! The ride was enjoyable, and he was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions. He let us customize the tour to what we wanted to do, so we got to spend more time swimming than other similar tours. We saw the lady of the rocks, tunnels, and the blue caves— all of which were very cool. The boat was comfortable and they had cold water for us. They also let us play our own music. Banjo gave us restaurant and beach recommendations, and was even kind enough to drop us off at a beach front restaurant at the end of the tour (with amazing seafood!!!). We would recommend this tour and Banjo to anyone and everyone!!! 10/10.

Peter was the most amazing tour guide and boat operator. This was one of the best days of our ten day vacation. He did such an amazing job of teaching us about the culture and history of Boca Bay and was a joy to be around. I can't recommend him highly enough!
