Speedboat rental in Montenegro
A small, nimble boat that slips right into the grotto where the water glows electric blue.
Speedboat rental in Montenegro is, above all, about the Blue Cave. The Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5 WA is small enough to nose right into the grotto on Luštica, where sunlight turns the water a vivid blue, and quick enough, at up to 38 knots, to make short work of the run from Tivat or Herceg Novi to the bay's mouth.
The classic trip lasts two or three hours: a swim inside the cave, a pause by the round Austro-Hungarian fort of Mamula and the coves of Luštica. Along the way the captain points out what you are seeing and suggests where to snorkel.
At 7.4 metres the boat carries eight. There is a bow sunpad, a bimini over the cockpit, a swim ladder and snorkel masks aboard. It is a fine pick for couples, families and small groups who want the highlights without overspending.

Where you go
The boat leaves from Tivat or Portonovi in Herceg Novi. The route heads to the mouth of Boka: Mamula fortress, the Blue Cave and the beaches and coves of Luštica. You can also venture inside the bay, though Perast and Kotor deserve an outing of their own.

When to go
The season runs June to September, with water at 24–26 °C. The cave is normally entered in calm conditions; if the open sea is choppy the captain may delay the visit or suggest another route. Two hours is the usual minimum.
Speedboat rental in Montenegro: FAQ
Can we swim inside the Blue Cave?
Yes, that is the main reason to go. The captain enters the grotto when conditions allow, and guests jump in straight from the boat.
How long does the trip take?
Two to three hours covers the cave, Mamula and a couple of Luštica coves. If you want to add Perast, book more time.
Is the boat suitable for children?
Yes. There is room for eight, and the captain goes more gently with little ones aboard. Ask for children's life jackets in advance.
