Incoming Boka – the jewel in the crown. Nothing can quite compare!
To this day, I’m proud of myself for having picked out the perfect tour. And, now it’s time for you to do the same.
Sailing Tours Near Me: Why Boka Bay Is the Right Choice
The idea of going on a sailing tour is in itself exciting. But, the idea of giving Boka Bay a going over is on that tour is much better.
Stories of its beauty are often told. And, you must have been on the listening side at least once. Now you want to be the witness of the splendor and the majesty told in the tales of Boka.
Instead of standing on the sidelines,
you want to be the one telling the stories.
Instead of standing on the sidelines, listening to the experiences of others, you want to become a part of it. You want to be the one telling the stories.
So, let’s see why sailing the Bay is worth it. And why it will stock you up with stories you will cherish for a lifetime.
Bask in the Nature
Nature lovers. Adventurists. Keen Mother Earth explorers. Even screen enthusiasts and couch potatoes… On a sailing tour through Boka, everyone will bask in the astonishing nature.
With the beautiful see beneath you, the bright sky above you, and the mesmerizing scenes around you, this is about as close as you can get to being one with the nature.
Explore the Secrets of the Bay
Some things are better cherished from afar. But then, others are best explored in details.
The Bay does instill feelings of reverence even through a mere photograph. Yet, nothing tops the experience of exploring its every corner and its every secret.
And, oh, are there secrets to explore!
Hearing about the battles that took place at sea will elicit respect for the historical fortifications in Tivat and Perast. And for the people who fought for their homes, their towns, their country.
The legend of the Karampana fairy that, in anger, left people with but one well of fresh water, turning the rest into salty water, is definitely worth hearing. Especially since the sea water is still known to pass in the freshwater supply of Kotor at times. Leaving us with a mystery to unravel. And with an obvious question in mind. Could the fairy still be angry?
On a slightly less mysterious, but no less breathtaking, note, the Blue Cave is yet another astonishing sight to behold. Sunlight bathing in crystal clear waters. A combination resulting in awe-inspiring views and charming photographs.
Revel in the Architecture
The nature has a huge say in what the Boka Bay has to offer. But, the people played their part too.
Boka is where you go to get lost in magical tales,
but also stay grounded in the reality of the past.
The medieval palaces, the Baroque-style buildings, ancient monuments, fortresses, churches and other architectural wonders spreading from Tivat to Herceg Novi… Boka is really something else. And, it is the “something else” you absolutely have to explore on a sailing tour.
It’s Where History Meets Magic
Wonderful nature, amazing architecture, loads of interesting historical events and even more interesting folktales and legends… Boka is where history meets magic.
It is a place of beauty and a place of stories. It’s where you go to get lost in magical tales, but also stay grounded in the reality of the past. All while basking in the wonders of the natural surroundings.
Choosing the Right Sailing Tour Near Me
When the idea hits, you just hit the shores and hop on the first boat you find. Hoping that it will take you to where you want to go. Being confident that it will show you the wonders of Boka.
While I admire the adventurist spirit, I say this is not exactly something you should leave up to chance. Sure, there is something riveting in such spontaneity. Yet, for the best experience, you have to be a lot more organized and thoughtful.
Tell yourself this. “I’m going to choose the best sailing tours near me, if it’s the last thing I do”.
Okay, it won’t be the last thing you do. Don’t worry. But, it is this kind of an approach that will result in the perfect experience.
So, let’s see how the best tour is chosen.

The second part you have to make yourself. So, check the weather prognosis. Go for a sunny day. There is romance in a boat tour on a rainy day, that’s’ for sure. But, the sun will make the journey much more enjoyable.
Don’t Make It Too Short a Trip
To really revel in the wonders of Boka,
without being rushed back to shore,
take a full-day journey.
An hour long trip won’t do the trick. Thus, aim for at least 4 hours on the boat when choosing your tour. Although, to really revel in the wonders of Boka, without being rushed back to shore, take a full-day journey.
In short, devote an entire day to exploring Boka. Trust me, it will be worth it. And, trust me, no matter how much time you spend on the boat, you will wish you had more.
