About the experience

Depart from the medieval harbor of Kotor and step into a day of coastal beauty, historical charm, and personalized adventure.

This full-day cruise gives you the best of Montenegro’s bay life, combining lively seaside towns with peaceful hidden gems—all at your own pace.

Whether you want to swim, sightsee, or simply relax under the sun, this journey is tailored to suit your ideal day on the water.

Your voyage begins in Kotor, where ancient city walls and dramatic limestone cliffs create one of the most photogenic backdrops in the Adriatic. As we cruise out of the bay, your first highlight is the elegant town of Perast. Known for its Venetian architecture and the postcard-perfect islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, it’s a place where history and beauty meet. You can choose to explore Perast on foot or simply admire it from the water with a glass of prosecco in hand.

Next, we sail west toward Herceg Novi, a charming coastal town near the entrance of the bay. With its layered fortresses, seaside promenades, and lush gardens, it’s the perfect stop for a bit of culture, a stroll along the waterfront, or a refreshing dip.

Finally, the day winds down at Bigova Bay—a peaceful, remote spot ideal for swimming and relaxing in total serenity. Many guests enjoy a leisurely lunch here at a local seafood taverna, surrounded by calm turquoise waters.

As with all of our Bay of Kotor tours, the itinerary is fully customizable. You can swap stops, extend your swim time, or explore lesser-known corners of the bay.

No traffic, no schedule—just a beautiful day crafted exactly the way you like it.

    This was a perfect day out. It was the first time we had chartered a yacht in this way and the most € we have ever spent on a days activity but it was absolutely worth every cent. Ilija was the perfect host and tailored the day just beautifully. We were keen to sail and sail we did. 🤩 He also made us the nicest meal we had our entire holiday. We 100% recommend this exceptional day trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Our boating experience with Ilija was fantastic! He was an outstanding host, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped onboard. The boat itself was beautiful, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Ilija’s expertise really elevated the experience—he took us to some stunning spots and shared fascinating insights about the area. To top it off, he even prepared a delicious meal that added a personal touch to the day. The conversation flowed effortlessly throughout the trip, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    We had a great afternoon sailing with Ilija. I was most interested in improving my sailing skills and he allowed to me take the helm, and help him work the sails. The boat is clean and safe. Ilija is very laid back and easy to get along with.

    My family and I had a great time with Llija who was professional, courteous, and a great host. He was kind enough to pick us up from Kotor marina and to provide a stand up paddle for my daughter. He also cooked us some lovely pasta! I would recommend Llija for a great sail in the bay of Kotor
