See the highlights of the Bay of Kotor without rushing. This private boat cruise is designed for couples and families who want a smooth, scenic experience with time to look around, take photos, and enjoy the bay at a relaxed pace.
Set off from Kotor on a comfortable private boat and glide along the historic shoreline of the bay. As you cruise past stone villages and calm waters, enjoy open views shaped by mountains, churches, and centuries of maritime history.
Your first stop is the small island of Our Lady of the Rocks, set in the middle of the bay. According to local legend, fishermen created this artificial island stone by stone after discovering a sacred rock where shipwrecked sailors reported seeing the Virgin Mary. Step inside the 15th-century church to see its marble altar and the celebrated icon painted by Lovro Dobričević. The interior also features Baroque paintings by Kotor artist Tripo Kokolja, including scenes such as The Crowning of Mary and Mary’s Death.
Continue by boat to the peaceful town of Perast, a coastal village recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage area. Once a retreat for Venetian nobles and Russian royalty, Perast is known for its elegant Baroque palaces, historic churches, and defensive towers. Take time to walk through the old town and absorb the atmosphere that has drawn artists, sailors, and visitors here for centuries.
This private cruise offers a clear, engaging introduction to one of Montenegro’s most scenic areas, with flexibility, comfort, and a personal feel throughout.
