My boat, the spacious Gozzo 810, is ideal for family outings and gatherings with friends. It comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests and features:
Families with children are always welcome on my private boat tours. We can explore the Bay of Kotor at a relaxed pace, with time for swimming, snorkeling, and stops that suit your family.
Sometimes my daughter joins me on board. She loves chatting with other kids and showing them her favorite water tricks. For me, the best family boat trips are the ones where everyone feels comfortable and nobody is in a hurry.
On board, we offer complimentary beverages—water, juices, and rakija. Upon request, we can also prepare local delicacies for you to sample.

Discover the thrill of fishing in the Bay of Kotor!
Join Captain Ivan for a private fishing tour in the beautiful Bay of Kotor. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, enjoy fishing with a local captain who knows these waters. All fishing equipment and bait are included, and you can combine your fishing adventure with sightseeing. If you catch fish, I can clean them for you. On request, we can also arrange a longer trip with a stop at a local restaurant, where your catch can be prepared for an additional charge.
Join Captain Ivan on a private Blue Cave boat tour from Kotor. Discover the spectacular blue waters of the cave, cruise past Mamula Island, and explore the historic submarine tunnels near Rose. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling when sea conditions allow, with stops in Rose, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks. An early departure is recommended to avoid the busiest hours and enjoy a more peaceful experience.
If you are interested in a laid-back option for swimming and tasting food and wine, then I recommend visiting a shellfish farm, where you can try local specialties made from shellfish and fish, or the raft, which prides itself on having the only underwater winery. The raft is particularly popular because you can easily combine dives into the clear sea with enjoying food and drink.
Savor great food on a raft, in the shade, with a refreshing dip in the sea.
Get acquainted with local specialties.
We can arrange a boat tour of the islands within the Kotor bay. Particularly fascinating are the human-made islands, such as Our Lady of the Rock and St. George’s Island, which are steeped in enchanting stories and legends that I will be delighted to share with you.
Discover Our Lady of the Rocks, a historic artificial island shaped by centuries of local maritime tradition.
Speaking of historical attractions in the bay, I recommend visiting also the Roman mosaics in Risan and then embarking on a short adventure to explore the Lipci cave, which houses prehistoric drawings. This tour offers you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the region’s history.
Ancient hunting scenes and grandeur of antic Rhizinium
During all our summer trips, we take breaks for swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear sea, as well as for meals and relaxation—always adapting to what interests you most.
Steep and sharp cliffs and small beaches – it’s up to you to decide.
One popular tour is a visit to the sandy St. Mark’s Island in Tivat Bay, where you can enjoy shallow, clear waters and even spot protected species such as sea turtles that have recently been nesting here. In the Tivat and Herceg Novi Bay area, I also recommend touring luxurious marinas:
Enjoy a refreshing swim, then indulge in luxury shopping.
We also offer leisurely boat rides that allow you to appreciate the abundant marine life—from colorful fish and sea turtles to families of dolphins. The best time to spot these creatures is early in the morning, when the calm waters and absence of engine noise allow for a natural viewing experience. By choosing Kotor Boat Tours by Captain Ivan, you also contribute to the recovery of the bay’s ecosystem and the preservation of these beautiful and important species. In essence, all our tours fall under wildlife conservation tours, and we invite you to play your part in nature conservation.
Appreciate the abbundance of the marine life.
We promise to pick you up and return you to your preferred location along the coast, ensuring the highest level of safety with all the necessary equipment and strict adherence to current regulations. We guarantee 100% enjoyment and satisfaction—our leisurely boat tours, especially during the summer, are the perfect way to spend time at sea and make every moment count.
