Kotor Bay Boat Tour — Private Sailing from Herceg Novi
A private boat tour in the Bay of Kotor is the most flexible way to see Perast, the islet church of Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula, and the fjord-like scenery toward Kotor. You choose the pace — short sunset cruise, half-day swim stops, or a full day on the water with an experienced captain.
What you typically see on a Kotor Bay tour
Classic highlights include Perast’s baroque waterfront, Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks), views of the Kotor city walls from the water, and quiet bays along the Luštica peninsula.
Unlike large excursion boats, a private sailing yacht stays with your group only — up to eight guests on our 12.5 m yacht Sheddi from Marina Lasur.
Sunset vs full-day Kotor sailing
A sunset cruise focuses on golden light on the mountains and calm water near Perast. A full-day tour adds time for swimming, lunch stops, and exploring more of Boka Bay.
Combine with Budva or Luštica
If you have several days on the water, you can extend the route toward the open Adriatic — Budva, the Blue Cave area, or hidden beaches along the coast — weather permitting.
