In 90 minutes you can ride Kotor Bay, step onto a man-made island crowned with a tiny church, and walk the Venetian 17th-century streets of Perast. This private boat tour packs local history, clear water, and photo-ready views into a short, easy outing.

The boat slips away from Kotor’s stone quay and the bay exhales; buildings of the old city recede as you slide into a glassy corridor of water. Salty wind tugs at your hair, gulls wheel, and the skipper eases into a steady route that contours the bay’s steep limestone arms. Twenty minutes later a tiny man-made island rises — its white church and low stone walls bright against deep blue — a human interruption in a sea that seems intent on reclaiming everything.

Arrive early to the meeting point
Kotor’s narrow streets and limited parking mean arriving 15–20 minutes early is smart; meet at the sea-side city park where the boats dock.
Bring cash for small fees
Church and museum on the island charge about €3 each and toilets cost ~€1.50 — card machines are uncommon, so carry small euro notes.
Wear non-slip footwear
Boat decks and Perast’s wet stone streets get slippery — shoes with grip keep you steady during boarding and exploring.
Sun protection and motion-sickness prep
The bay offers little shade on the water — bring sunscreen, a hat, and medication if you’re prone to seasickness.
Non-slip deck shoes
Grippy footwear helps with wet boat decks and cobbled streets in Perast.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Bring if you want to snorkel or take a quick swim from the boat — masks provided.
