The speedboat pulls away from Kotor’s Sea Gate and the bay opens like a map folded into relief—steep limestone cliffs drop into glassy water, and the Adriatic dares you to look away. Your skipper trims the throttle, the wake painting a bright line behind us, and the first island appears: Our Lady of the Rocks, a low circle of masonry crowned by a white church and a bell tower that has watched sailors for centuries.

Wear non-slip shoes
Boat decks can be wet; low-profile shoes with good grip keep you steady when boarding and exploring the islets.
Bring sun protection
Open water magnifies sun exposure—use sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap, and a hat.
Prepare for small stairs and uneven stone
Historic sites ashore have stone steps and narrow paths; a short mobility restriction may make some areas difficult to access.
Watch for seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive medication before boarding; the speedboat ride is lively.
