Perast is one of the most recognizable places in Boka Bay, known for its stone waterfront, old palaces, and the two small islands just offshore. Located a short distance from Kotor, it is an easy place to visit during a day on the water.
One of the nicest ways to reach old town Perast is by speedboat. Instead of simply travelling from one place to another, the journey itself becomes part of the experience. As you leave Kotor, the view gradually changes, with the mountains, small coastal villages, and old stone houses appearing from a different perspective.
Approaching the waterfront from the water is especially memorable. The historic buildings sit directly along the shoreline, with the mountains rising behind them. From the boat, you can also see St. George Island and Our Lady of the Rocks, two of the most recognizable sights just offshore.
The town is also one of the stops included in our speedboat tours from Kotor, making it easy to combine a visit here with other parts of Boka Bay. The timing can vary depending on the tour, while private tours offer more flexibility for guests who want to spend more time in the area.
Whether you are visiting as one part of a longer speedboat journey or making it a bigger part of your day, seeing this historic coastal town from the water gives you a different perspective of Montenegro.
