Best Value
One of the best values on entire Greek Isles cruise excursions. Boat only had 12 passengers in peak season. Slight improvements, they should have floating devices for all passengers, as it kept some from jumping in. I am a good swimmer but found it a bit challenging, my wife opted not to go in because of it. Highly satisfied though because boat captain allowed me to jump in cave water after I gave him assurance of my swimming skill. Again well worth it.

The private tour allowed us to customize it to our preferences. The scenery is unbelievable and swimming in the crystal clear blue water was amazing!

A Must Do
It was just a short walk from the cruise pier. It was very easy to find and the experience could not have been easier. It was an exceptional was to see the beauty of Kotor. The boat was comfortable. Our captain was very friendly and provided us a safe and fun few hours. The music on board kept us in a joyful mood throughout the tour. Our group of 8 had the best time! Thank you for a great excursion!

Nice speedboat ride
Ride on speedboat in the scenic bay. We stopped here on a cruise. Finding the vender from the cruise terminal was easy. People were friendly and helpful. The crew were nice and pointed out things of interest on the way. It was early June and too cold to swim. We saw some people swimming, but I didn’t want to. The boat was in good condition. Felt safe.

Great private boat trip with Captain Chris. He speaks great English, and is very knowledgeable about the area. Trip was exactly what we expected plus great music!

Nice adventure not good guide.
Yes but no sure with this boat. The trip was nice but less the level of the guide.
Good adventure, good boat not more than that.

A highlight of our time...
A highlight of our time in Kotor! We thoroughly enjoyed this boat ride with our Skipper and his nephew who expertly guided us around the water, to the church, and into caves and a submarine tunnel. I especially loved swimming in the beautiful water while my husband loved learning and discussing all the history!

Highly recommend
Nicolo was a great captain. Lots of fun, informative. It’s definitely choppy but that’s just the sea. He did a fabulous job keeping us comfortable and checking on us. Great time!!!
