Blue Cave & Perast Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (3h 30min)
Best for: Travelers who want a shorter private boat outing with a clear set of stops and a swim break
This is the shortest of the three options and follows a fixed sightseeing route from Herceg-Novi. It is a private boat tour, so the pace can be adjusted within the total time limit, but the sequence of places stays the same. The itinerary combines panoramic viewing, a swim stop that depends on sea conditions, and visits to several Bay of Kotor landmarks. Confirmed onboard items include bottled water, WiFi, a sunshade, life jackets, and other basic comforts. It suits travelers who want a concentrated outing rather than a long custom cruise.
Short private route with swim time
- Private tour with adjustable time at each stop
- Includes onboard comforts such as bottled water and WiFi
- Adds a swim stop plus Mamula, the Submarine Tunnels, Our Lady of the Rocks, and Perast

Bay of Kotor Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (4h 30min)
Best for: Travelers who want a private coastal cruise with more time for Kotor, Perast, and the island stop
This tour is the middle-length choice and keeps the route focused on some of the best-known stops in the bay. It is designed as a private speedboat cruise, so you avoid the feel of a larger group excursion and can spend more or less time at each place within the set route. The confirmed stops include Kotor, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks, and the itinerary also notes the island of Saint George can be viewed from the boat. Onboard inclusions again cover bottled water, WiFi, a fridge, a sunshade, and safety gear, making it a practical choice for relaxed sightseeing.
Private Bay of Kotor cruise with extra breathing room
- Longer duration than the shorter highlight cruise

8-hour Custom Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi
Best for: Travelers who want the most control over the day and a longer private boat rental

The product description lists many possible destinations, including coastal spots, Blue Cave, Kotor, Perast, and more, and it also notes that other locations may be requested. The booking information confirms onboard comforts such as bottled water, WiFi, a fridge, a sunshade, and safety gear. Fuel is excluded, so this experience is the one to check most carefully when you want a tailor-made route and a longer time on the water.
