Comparing Perast private tours around the islands
Perast private tours make particular sense when the islands and the town's waterfront are the focus of your time on the bay. Perast's churches and palaces face the water, while Our Lady of the Rocks is reached by boat and Sveti ΔorΔe appears as a separate island panorama. A private boat gives your party a shared way to see that setting, with the choice of a short island outing, an evening departure or a longer charter.
The four options here have different group limits and different departure arrangements. Three advertise two hours from Kotor, while the longer charter offers agreed boarding in Kotor, Tivat or Perast. Match the boat to the number travelling and the place where you will begin. The prices below are advertised group starting prices from the November 2026 selection, not amounts for each passenger. Island, church and museum charges are separate wherever excluded.

Compare four group-priced departures by capacity, time on the water, drinks and boarding place, including the sunset option for two.
A two-hour island outing for up to six
The private Perast and Lady of the Rock outing starts in Kotor at Zlatne Njive 15. It is advertised at EUR 230 per group for up to six people and lasts two hours. Boat transport, an English-speaking driver, travel insurance, water, juice and beer are included. Museum entry at Our Lady of the Rocks, food and additional drinks are extra.
This is a useful choice for a family or friends whose main interest is Perast and the island setting within a shorter outing. The included drinks make the boat part straightforward, while meals belong outside the package. Keep the distinction between reaching the island and entering its museum: they are different parts of the visit, and the museum admission exclusion is specific to this product. Its Kotor start also means that someone staying in Perast should choose it with the journey to Kotor in mind.
Sunset on the water for up to two
The private sunset outing from Kotor is priced from EUR 250 per group for up to two people, with a two-hour advertised duration. It starts at Park Slobode. The boat carries life jackets and safety equipment, with music, fees and taxes, an experienced skipper who also guides, and drinks including water, beer and juice. Optional island, church and museum admission is extra, as are optional tips.
Choose this for an evening together on the bay rather than a larger party. The sunset departure is a distinct booking option, and its available dates determine when you can take it. Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks provide the named setting for the outing; the route's appeal lies in seeing the waterfront and island scenery from the water during that part of the day. Pair it with a land visit at another time if the museum collections or the town's central square are your main interest.
A private speedboat for up to four
The two-hour private speedboat to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks starts at Park Slobode 1 in Kotor and is advertised from EUR 180 per group for up to four. It includes an English-speaking skipper-guide, bottled water for all guests, fuel and boat expenses, and free Wi-Fi on board. Island entrance fees are extra; food and other drinks are outside the package unless specified.
For a party within that capacity, this is a compact outing with the boat's running expenses included. It fits a plan centred on the named town and island rather than a long circuit towards the coast. The skipper-guide accompanies the boat experience; for time devoted to church interiors or the town museum, use the sights guide to build a separate land visit. Water and Wi-Fi are useful practical inclusions, but the reason to choose the route is the Perast and island focus.
A longer private charter in the Bay of Kotor
The longer Boka Bay charter is advertised at EUR 360 per group for up to seven, lasting four and a half to five and a half hours. Boat rental, safety equipment, a Bluetooth audio system, a sundeck, a bimini and soft drinks are included. Food and drinks beyond the included soft drinks are extra. Boarding is by agreement in Kotor, Tivat or Perast. Agree the precise boarding place and any Perast boarding or island stop when reserving.
This option suits a party that wants a longer stretch on the water and the possibility of starting from an agreed place around the bay. The individual itinerary is a planning arrangement rather than an entitlement to every desired stop. Its longer duration gives the excursion a different shape from the two-hour island trips: choose it for the charter time and the listed boat facilities. The Bay of Kotor is the wider setting; Perast remains the town and island interest within your agreed programme.
Private boat or a shared excursion?
A shared departure can be the simpler choice when you are travelling alone or as a couple and a published itinerary already covers what you want. Compare the shared boat routes by start and included activities, rather than dividing a private group price into passenger amounts. Private departures are most useful here when your party fits one of the boat capacities or when the evening option or agreed boarding is central to the plan.
For the island itself, the Our Lady of the Rocks guide separates crossing, landing and church or museum access. For reaching your boat, the arrival guide distinguishes Perast from Kotor. These details help you select a product that fits the day you are actually spending around the bay, with food, town sightseeing and transport to the start accounted for separately.
