Hello and welcome! My name is Žarko, and I'm the captain and one of the owners of Chicco Boat Tours, based in the beautiful coastal town of Budva, Montenegro. Over the years, I've had the privilege of showing thousands of visitors the breathtaking beauty of Budva's coastline, and I can confidently say that exploring Budva by boat is one of the best ways to experience everything this magical destination has to offer.

Budva: A place where history meets the Adriatic Sea

          Budva is one of Montenegro's most famous tourist destinations, often referred to as the "jewel of the Adriatic." It's a town that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Whether wandering through the Old Town's cobblestone streets, dancing the night away at a beach club, or simply soaking in the sun on one of its pristine beaches, Budva has something for everyone.
          But here's the thing - while Budva is stunning on land, it's even more spectacular when experienced from the sea. The rugged coastline is dotted with secluded beaches, hidden caves, and picturesque islands that you simply can't access by car or foot. That's where we at Chicco Boat Tours come in. Our boat trip in Budva offers you an exclusive perspective of this incredible region, allowing you to explore its hidden gems in a way that most visitors never get to. It's a privilege reserved for those who choose to sail with us.

Why should you take a boat tour in Budva?



          As someone who's spent countless hours navigating Budva's waters, I can tell you that a boat tour is more than just a fun day out - it's an experience that connects you to the heart of Montenegro's natural beauty. Here are a few reasons why a Budva boat tour should be at the top of your list:

1. Explore hidden beaches and coves

          Budva's coastline is full of secluded spots only accessible by boat. From the serene shores of Sveti Nikola Island (locally known as "Hawaii") to secret coves nestled between dramatic cliffs, a boat tour allows you to escape the crowds and discover your private slice of paradise.

          One of my favourite stops is Drobni Pijesak Beach, a hidden gem with crystal-clear waters and soft golden sand. It's the perfect spot for a quiet swim or a picnic. Trust me, there's nothing quite like anchoring in a secluded bay, jumping off the boat into the warm Adriatic waters, and feeling like you have the whole sea to yourself.

2. Unparalleled views of Budva's Old Town

          Budva's Old Town (Stari Grad) is a sight to behold from any angle, but seeing it from the water is truly special. As you approach by boat, the ancient stone walls and red-tiled roofs seem to rise out of the sea, creating a picture-perfect scene. Moments like these make me feel deeply connected to this place, and I'm excited to share this sense of belonging with you.     

3. Discover up-close iconic landmarks

          A boat tour allows you to visit some of Budva's most iconic sights in style. For example, you can admire Sveti Stefan, a historic islet turned luxury resort, from the best possible vantage point. This is one of the most photographed places in Montenegro, and seeing it from the sea is an experience you won't forget.     

          Another must-see is the famous Blue Cave, where sunlight reflects off the water, bathing the cave in an otherworldly blue glow. My guests always rave about swimming in this natural wonder - it's like stepping into a dream.     

4. Enjoy the sunset magic of the Adriatic Coast

          If you're looking for a romantic experience, there's nothing quite like a sunset cruise along the Budva Riviera. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in orange, pink, and purple hues, is a memory that will stay with you forever. At Chicco Boat Tours, we often pair our sunset cruises with a glass of local wine to make the experience even more special.

Top destinations to visit on a boat tour from Budva



          To give you a better idea of what to expect, here's a closer look at some of the top destinations we'll explore during your Budva boat trip:

1. Sveti Nikola Island ("Hawaii")

          Just a short boat ride from Budva, Sveti Nikola Island is a must-visit destination. This unspoiled island is known for its crystal-clear waters, rocky beaches, and lush greenery. It's a fantastic spot for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing in the sun. Personally, I love bringing guests here because it feels like a little slice of paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

2. Mogren Beach

          Mogren Beach is one of Budva's most famous beaches, but it's even more magical when approached by boat. This sandy beach is surrounded by steep cliffs and dense greenery, which is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Plus, the journey there offers incredible views of Budva's rugged coastline.

3. Sveti Stefan

          Sveti Stefan is a true icon of Montenegro, and seeing it from the sea is a highlight of any boat tour. This historic islet, now a luxury resort, is an architectural marvel. It's also a fantastic spot for taking photos - so don't forget your camera!

4. The Blue Cave

          Although technically located near Kotor Bay, the Blue Cave is a popular destination for extended boat trips from Budva. The vibrant blue light inside the cave is a natural phenomenon caused by sunlight reflecting off the sea floor. It's one of the most unique swimming experiences you'll ever have.
