Across the bay
There is no regular public boat between Tivat and Herceg Novi. By road you either drive round the bay or take the Kamenari–Lepetane car ferry across the narrow strait, run by the state enterprise Morsko dobro. A private boat crosses the open bay directly and can use a pier nearer your hotel if the operator can berth there.
For the road, see Tivat Airport to Herceg Novi.
Tivat to Herceg Novi water taxi, or a Boka Bay boat transfer
A Tivat to Herceg Novi boat transfer, a Tivat–Herceg Novi water taxi, a Boka Bay boat transfer and a private boat across the Bay of Kotor are the same request: a licensed local boat with a skipper, hired for your group alone. Departure from the Tivat waterfront or Porto Montenegro; arrival in Herceg Novi, or at the Portonovi marina side of the bay if the operator can berth there.
Across the bay on your own clock
Tell us the number of people and bags and the time you want to leave. Luggage travels with you on the boat. The bay is sheltered compared with the open Adriatic, but wind still decides the day, and the skipper has the last word; the fallback is the road round the bay or the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry.
What your quote confirms, and what depends on the day
Your written quote states
- the departure and arrival piers, and the time;
- the boat type and its capacity, from the licensed operator who runs it;
- the road part, if your trip starts at an airport or hotel;
- the total price and the operator’s weather and cancellation terms, in writing, before anything is booked.
What depends on the day
- The weather. The skipper decides on the day. Strong wind or a high sea can delay, re-route or cancel a crossing; then we agree another time or a road and ferry alternative.
- The pier. Not every pier or beach can take a private boat. The confirmation names the exact one.
- Luggage space. Small boats have limited room, so tell us what you carry.

Questions about this crossing
The skipper decides on the day. Strong wind can delay, re-route or cancel a crossing — even the scheduled catamarans stop in a strong jugo or bura. Then we agree a later time or a road and ferry alternative with you. The operator’s exact weather and cancellation terms are in the written quote.
A licensed local boat operator’s, with a certified skipper. We do not own boats; we arrange the transfer, and the quote names the operator and the boat type.
We do not publish a price. It depends on the boat, the number of passengers, the season and the weather window, and it comes from the licensed operator who would run it. We reply with a written quote; nothing is booked or charged until you accept it.
