Where the boat taxi goes
Tivat sits in the middle of the bay, so a boat reaches most of Boka without the long drive around the shore. Popular runs from Tivat Airport and the Tivat waterfront:
| Destination | Good for |
|---|---|
| Kotor & Dobrota | Old-town and waterfront hotels — skip the summer queue into Kotor |
| Perast & Risan | Waterfront stays, dinner in Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks |
| Herceg Novi & Portonovi | Avoids the ferry crossing and the coast road |
| Luštica Bay & Rose | Resort arrivals, beach days, lunch in a fishing village |
| Prčanj, Muo & Stoliv | Quiet villages along the bay with their own jetties |
| Budva | On request — open sea outside the bay, calm weather only |
Crossing times depend on the boat and the sea — I’ll give you a realistic time with the price.
Why by sea
The bay is a road
with no traffic
In July and August the single coast road around the bay slows to a crawl. By boat you go straight across — and the arrival is the first memory of your holiday.
- Hotel to hotel — Kotor, Perast, Herceg Novi, Portonovi, Luštica Bay
- Dinner & beach runs — dropped off and collected later
- Early arrivals and late returns by arrangement
- A plan B — if the sea is rough, a car transfer can replace the boat

Boat taxi questions
Send your flight and hotel — I’ll confirm the whole plan in one reply.
Is there a boat taxi from Tivat Airport to Kotor?
Yes. You’re met at arrivals, driven a few minutes to the pier near the airport, then taken across the bay to Kotor — or to Perast, Herceg Novi, Luštica and other towns.
Can I bring luggage?
Yes. Tell me how many suitcases and their size when you enquire so the right boat is sent.
What happens if the sea is rough?
The skipper decides on safety. If a crossing isn’t comfortable, a private car transfer can take its place so your arrival still works.
Is a boat taxi more expensive than a car?
It usually costs more than a car transfer, but it’s priced per boat, so it can work out well for families and groups. I’m happy to quote both so you can choose.
Can I use it for dinner in Perast or a beach day?
Yes — you can be dropped off and collected at an agreed time. It’s a favourite for dinner on the Perast waterfront and lunch in Rose.
Keep planning
