A brisk private speedboat whisks you from Kotor to Our Lady of the Rocks and the baroque waterfront of Perast—two compact cultural gems of the Bay of Kotor. Expect intimate church interiors, shorefront palaces, and calm Adriatic views in a two-hour, skipper-led cruise.

The speedboat cuts a silver line across Kotor Bay, and the water tilts its face toward you as if beckoning. Salt air fills your nostrils while the limestone cliffs of the bay keep their slow watch; behind you, Kotor’s stone ramparts recede, and ahead two small worlds come into focus—an artificial island crowned by a white church and the low, baroque roofs of Perast.
