Bay of Kotor Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (4h 30min)
Best for: travelers who want a flexible private cruise with classic Bay of Kotor sights
This private speedboat tour is the most straightforward choice if you want a relaxed sightseeing day without joining a larger group. The route is set, but the pace can be adjusted at each stop, which suits travelers who want time for photos, short walks, or simply staying longer in one place. Confirmed stops include Kotor, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks, and you can also view Saint George Island from the boat. Pickup is listed, and the boat includes practical comforts such as bottled water, WiFi, a sunshade, and life jackets.

- Private format with flexible timing at stops
- Includes Kotor, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks
- Onboard comforts include WiFi, bottled water, and a sunshade
Compare this if you want the most swimming-focused short trip.
Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h)
Best for: travelers who want a shorter coastal excursion with swimming and beach time
This is the shortest of the three options and suits travelers who want a compact trip with a mix of scenic stops and water activities. The experience includes views of Mamula Island, a visit to the Submarine Tunnels, and time at Žanjice beach, where swimming, sunbathing, or snorkeling are part of the plan. The Blue Cave swim depends on weather and sea conditions, and guests swim from the boat rather than docking at the cave entrance. Because it is private, timing can be adjusted within the trip length, making it a good fit for travelers who want a brisk, activity-focused outing.
Short private outing for swimming and coastal highlights
- Shortest option in the set
- Includes a swim in the Blue Cave when conditions allow
- Combines sightseeing with beach time and the Submarine Tunnels
Compare this if you want the most customizable boat day.
8-hour Custom Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi
Best for: travelers who want a longer private boat day with a customizable route
This full-day private charter is the most flexible option for travelers who want to build their own route rather than follow a fixed sightseeing plan. The itinerary can include several named destinations along the Montenegrin coast, and the product also notes that other locations may be requested. It is the only option here that explicitly lists fuel as an exclusion, so it differs from the other two in how the trip is priced. The listing also mentions the possibility of restaurant reservations, but that is presented as an option rather than a confirmed inclusion. This suits travelers planning a slower, more tailored day on the water.
Long custom charter for a personalized coastal day
- Longest duration of the three
- Custom route with multiple destination choices
- Fuel is listed as an exclusion, so the cost structure is different
