The Blue Cave is one of the most iconic natural wonders in the Bay of Kotor. Formed over centuries by the relentless power of the sea against a 100-meter high cliff, this cave is famed for its mesmerizing shades of blue created by sunlight reflecting through the crystal-clear water. We’ll anchor here to give you around 20 minutes to swim, snorkel, and soak in the surreal beauty of this magical spot—an experience that feels truly otherworldly.

3

Sitting at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor, Mamula Island—once known as Lastavica—is a striking circular islet dominated by a 19th-century Austro-Hungarian fortress built by General Lazar Mamula. Spanning 200 meters in diameter, the island holds a rich and complex history, originally serving as a strategic military outpost to prevent enemy ships from entering the bay. While we do not disembark here, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of this hauntingly beautiful site as we cruise by, with fascinating stories about its wartime past shared by your skipper.

4

Hidden along the rugged coastline of the Lustica Peninsula, the secretive submarine tunnels are a captivating reminder of Yugoslavia's naval history. Carved deep into the cliffs, these cold war-era structures were once used to conceal and protect military submarines. On this tour, we’ll slowly cruise into one of the tunnels, offering a rare glimpse into these abandoned passages and the strategic ingenuity of the past. It's a unique and mysterious stop that contrasts beautifully with the natural wonders of the bay.

Stop 5

A true gem of the Bay of Kotor, Our Lady of the Rocks is Montenegro’s most iconic man-made island. According to local legend, the island was created over centuries by sailors who laid rocks in the bay after each successful voyage. At the heart of the island stands a picturesque Catholic church, built in 1630, which houses an extraordinary collection of silver votive plates depicting maritime life, as well as 68 remarkable frescoes by the renowned artist Tripo Kokolja. As you walk around, your captain will share the fascinating folklore and history that make this island a must-visit cultural and spiritual landmark.
