Hi there friends! Welcome to the beautiful Bay of Kotor, right by the Adriatic Sea.
I absolutely love spending time on my boat and sharing my connection with the sea and coast with my guests. Conversations about history and current affairs are something I genuinely enjoy, ensuring that guests receive interesting and useful insights. I also adore exploring Kotor‘s beautiful coastline—knowing every corner—and I’m happy to guide you on our boat tours to any spots you wish to visit, whether you are a history and culture enthusiast or an adrenaline seeker looking for activities like cliff diving and snorkeling.
About the Boat
My boat, the spacious Gozzo 810, is ideal for family outings and gatherings with friends. It comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests and features:
A cabin with a restroom
Small boarding ladders for easy access from the sea
A compact shower
A wide bimini canopy covering the stern
A sun-deck where you can relax and soak up the sun
Family Experience
When children are among the guests, my daughter happily joins as my little assistant. She likes to chat with you, and show her water tricks, encouraging other kids to swim, jump, and snorkel, ensuring everyone has a delightful time.

On-Board Services
On board, we offer complimentary beverages—water, juices, and rakija. Upon request, we can also prepare local delicacies for you to sample.
Craft Your Ideal Tour
Here is the list of the most popular boat tours in Kotor Bay area that I recommend you take a look at, so you can get an idea where to go and how to make the most of your day.
One of our most popular tours is the fishing adventure combined with sightseeing. Guests experience the thrill of fishing, and after a successful catch (which I clean beforehand), you can take it to your accommodation to prepare a delightful lunch or dinner. If you prefer a more relaxing break, I’ll gladly recommend a great restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal made from your catch at an affordable price.
Blue Cave Tour
Blue Cave Tours
Explore beyond the bay and immerse yourself in stunning blue hues.
If you’d like to explore beyond the Kotor Bay, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Blue Cave. As this is a popular destination, I advise an early morning departure to avoid crowds and to fully experience the unique light effects inside the cave. Immersing yourself in the stunning blue hues contrasting with the cave’s dramatic walls is truly unforgettable, and nearby smaller caves offer similar thrills.
Gourmet Excursions
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.
Food and Wine Tasting Tour
Savor great food on a raft, in the shade, with a refreshing dip in the sea.
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.
Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast
A captivating man-made island and a beautiful 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.

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.
Beaches and Coves
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:
Porto Montenegro – perfect for shopping and a meal break
Porto Novi – another prestigious marina worth visiting

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.
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.

Ivan is super friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable, and super lax and chill. Hands down would recommend 200%. Not being a speedboat and having a toilet onboard are major pluses. Everything is clean and very high quality! He speaks great English and happy to accommodate you any way he can

We had a wonderful day on Ivan's boat tour. We fished for about an hour and caught several different kinds of fish. Ivan then took us around the bay, visiting Our Lady of the rocks church on an island, then to a gorgeous place to swim and snorkel. We then visited Perast before returning to Kotor. Ivan was a great tour guide, very well organised, full of local knowledge and history, and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended

Super tour en bateau dans la baie de Kotor avec Ivan. Nous étions 4 avec 2 jeunes enfants (7 et 4) pour une excursion de 4h, tout le monde a adoré. Les enfants ont même pu tenir le volant un peu (sous contrôle du capitaine !). Ivan connaît son sujet et nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à l'écouter et échanger avec lui. La variété des activités était très bien (visite de Our Lady of the Rocks, baignade, paddle et snorkeling près de Perast au dessus d'une épave, pause fruits de mer chez un ostréiculteur, un petit saut depuis une falaise), le tout en profitant de la vue. Ivan était aux petits soins pour tout le monde. On ne peut que recommander, c'était un plaisir.
