Spend a private day by speedboat through the Bay of Kotor—visit Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, enter a secret WWII submarine base, dine at a floating oyster farm, and swim in the electrifying Blue Cave.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The speedboat slips out into a bay that looks and feels older than most maps—steep limestone cliffs step down into water so clear it seems to reflect the mountains back at themselves. A gentle engine hum, the spray on your face, and the stone town of Kotor sliding away: this is Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor from the seat of a private boat, a six-hour loop that stitches together baroque towns, military ghosts, and a cave that turns the sea electric blue.
