All-inclusiveCrew & drinks

This Montenegro boat tour from Dubrovnik crosses into the Bay of Kotor by sea, which means the two-hour summer land-border queue is somebody else's problem. You arrive the way the bay was built to be seen: cliffs closing in on both sides, Perast's bell tower dead ahead, the water going glass-flat as the fjord narrows.

Insider: Passport required. The skipper handles the formalities at sea, you handle the photographs.

“Coming into Kotor bay by boat instead of the coach road was something else entirely. Perast at anchor was the highlight of our whole trip.”

Booking this tour

Have a question about the Montenegro tour?

The most common questions guests ask before booking.

See all FAQs
Do you need a passport for a Montenegro boat tour from Dubrovnik?
Yes, every traveller, children included, needs their own physical passport. The crossing leaves the EU, and the skipper handles the marine-border formalities at sea.
Can you go from Dubrovnik to Kotor by boat?
Yes, a direct private crossing into the Bay of Kotor, arriving at Kotor Old Town or Perast with the cliffs closing overhead.
How long is the boat trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro?
Two to three hours each way by sea, depending on the boat and the swell, and no land-border queue at either end.
What’s included?
Skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer and white wine, towels, SUP, snorkelling equipment, insurance and final cleaning. Free hotel transfer is also included.
How does the sea border work?
We clear out of Croatia and into Montenegro by boat at the official points; you stay aboard and we handle the paperwork. Bring passports for everyone, including children. Boarding is at Cavtat, Lapad or ACI Marina Komolac.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. Montenegro is outside the EU and Schengen, so every guest needs a physical passport, a national ID card is not accepted at the sea border. We handle the border formalities on the boat.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, for older children, it’s a long, full day with a border crossing, and they need a passport too. For younger families the half-day Elaphiti tour is an easier fit.
