Yachts and boats
Your own deck for the day: a whole yacht with a captain from €355 for three hours, motor boats from €130 an hour. Five routes from the Bay of Kotor to Lake Skadar.
The Bay from Tivat
Sailing and motor yachts with a skipper — Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, swim stops.
The Bay from Kotor
A yacht or motor boat with a skipper for up to 14 guests — the bay from beneath the old town walls.
The coast from Bar and Budva
Sveti Stefan and the beaches from the water — a motor boat with a skipper by the hour, or a yacht for half a day.
Catamarans
Twin hulls barely roll — a steady deck for a group of 8–12.
Speedboat on Lake Skadar
Channels, water lilies and lake monasteries in a couple of hours.

Hire a whole boat or join a group trip?
A boat with a skipper is hired whole, and the price is per boat: a motorboat from €355 for three hours, a sailing yacht from €390 for three to four hours, a catamaran from €520 for four hours. Smaller speedboats can also be hired by the hour, from €130. Split six ways, a boat at €355 comes to about €60 each; a seat on the shared boat trip around the bay starts at €53.
The price usually includes the skipper and fuel for the route. Lunch ashore and port fees at other marinas are extra. Boats with prices and availability are in the yacht charter section.
Where to hire a boat: Tivat, Kotor, Budva, Bar or Herceg Novi
From Tivat, four hours on the bay starts at €390 and a full day at €650. From Kotor, three hours starts at €580 and a full day at €830. In Budva speedboats cost from €170 an hour, in Bar from €130 an hour. From Herceg Novi, four hours starts at €415 — it is the closest base to the mouth of the bay.
Since 2026 motorboats have been banned from entering the Blue Cave: the boat waits at the entrance, and you go in by kayak or swim. Mamula island is now a hotel and closed to anyone not staying there, so you see it from the water.
