Private Boat Transfers & Water Taxi in Kotor Bay
Skip the summer gridlock on the coastal road. Direct private speedboat transfers across Boka Bay from our Kotor base at Park Slobode — your boat, your crossing.
Montenegro Submarine runs direct, private speedboat transfers — a true water taxi service — from our Kotor base at Park Slobode to hotels, marinas, beaches, and landmarks across the bay. You book directly with the fleet owner: no third-party contractors, certified English-speaking local captains, and the boat is yours for the crossing.
By road, the same crossings take roughly 60–120 minutes each way in season — before you factor in summer traffic jams and parking. By boat it's a direct ride across the bay: no detours, no parking.
Destinations & routes
Grouped by operational zone — speed limits differ by zone, and that drives transit time. Prices are flat per boat by capacity tier.
⚠ Open-mouth destinations (Mamula, Žanjice, Blue Cave, Rose) sit at the open-Adriatic mouth of the bay. These run in fair weather only and are subject to sea conditions — not guaranteed daily transfers.
Zone 1 — Inner Kotor–Risan basin
Closest destinations, mostly inside the 6-knot inner-shore limit, so transit stays slow even over short distances.

Point-to-point transfers (non-Kotor origins)
Transfers that don't start in Kotor — e.g. straight from the airport to your Herceg Novi hotel. Exposed routes follow the same fair-weather rule.
Signature routes
Kotor → Perast
By road, the Perast run crawls behind tour buses on a single coastal lane. By water it's a direct glide past the fortified walls and the two islets, with drop-off at the Perast public pier — steps from Heritage Grand by Rixos and the Our Lady of the Rocks shuttle.
Kotor → Our Lady of the Rocks
The bay's signature man-made island, reachable only by boat. We run you straight from Park Slobode to the island jetty and wait or return on your schedule.
Kotor → Tivat / Porto Montenegro
The marina, the Regent, the restaurants — without the Verige-road detour. Direct berth inside Porto Montenegro.
Kotor → One&Only Portonovi
The flagship luxury run. Skip the full coastal crawl to Kumbor and arrive at the resort marina. Subject to sea conditions near the bay mouth.
Kotor → Blue Cave / Žanjice
The iconic swim stop at the bay mouth. A fair-weather transfer to the cave and Žanjice beach — runs only in calm sea.
Tivat Airport → Kotor
Land, walk to the Kukuljina water terminal, and reach Park Slobode by sea while road traffic is still leaving the airport roundabout. Our most-requested transfer.
Hotel-pier delivery
Direct drop-off at your hotel's own pier, where the dock allows it. We hold docking permission and run regular pier drop-offs at Regent Porto Montenegro, Porto Montenegro Marina, Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay (Donji Stoliv), Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos, Forza Mare, and Forza Terra — plus many other hotels, villas, and private piers around Boka Bay, wherever the dock allows.
For other resorts — One&Only Portonovi, The Chedi Luštica Bay, Nikki Beach, Blue Kotor Bay, Lazure, Mamula Island — pier access is arranged on request and subject to the resort's own dock availability, weather, and any resort docking fee.
