Operated by Tide and Wave · Kotor, Kotor Municipality
The motor yawns and pulls away from Kotor’s finger of quay, the town’s stone houses shrinking behind a scattering of gulls. Within minutes, the city’s defensive walls and rust-red roofs slip under the shadow of limestone cliffs and the bay opens like a dark mirror. The skipper—usually a local who knows every inlet—navigates a channel of glassy water, and the first narrative arrives: Perast’s twin islets, the pancake-flat man-made shrine of Our Lady of the Rocks and the old monastery that refuses to be anonymous.

Boka Bay’s towns were shaped by Venetian maritime power; Perast’s Our Lady of the Rocks is a man-made islet built from votive stones and centuries of devotion. Mamula island began life as an Austro-Hungarian fort and later a wartime prison.
The bay’s Posidonia seagrass is ecologically important and sensitive—avoid anchoring in meadows, use reef-safe sunscreen and follow skipper instructions to reduce impact.
