Private Kotor Fishing Adventure to Mamula Island & Blue Cave with Lunch
Spend four private hours fishing around Mamula Island and the Blue Cave with a local skipper, rod and bait provided, plus lunch—and take home what you catch. This accessible Adriatic charter pairs calm inshore fishing with dramatic karst cliffs and a simple coastal meal.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring seasickness meds
Even on calm days the Bay can roll; take anti-nausea tablets or wear patches beforehand if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Sun protection and layers
Reflection off the water intensifies sun exposure—use SPF, sunglasses, and a light windbreaker for changing conditions.
Protect your camera
Salt spray and cave spray can damage gear—use a dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras.
Know the catch rules
Ask the skipper about local size and species limits before you fish—some species are protected or seasonal.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning anchoring near a small cove on the Lustica Peninsula for a private swim
- •A shore lunch of freshly grilled catch at a family taverna in Prčanj or Morinj after the trip
Wildlife
- •Mediterranean shearwaters
- •Occasional schools of bluefish and small tuna near deeper channels
Conservation Note
Fishing pressure and tourism can stress coastal habitats—pack out waste, avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, and follow skipper guidance to reduce impact.
Mamula island hosts a mid-19th-century Austro-Hungarian fort, later used in wartime; the Bay of Kotor’s towns reflect Venetian and Austro-Hungarian maritime heritage.

Common Questions
Do I need a fishing license?
On licensed commercial charters in Montenegro the operator usually covers permits—confirm with the skipper before departure.
Can I keep the fish we catch?
Yes; this tour notes "fish is yours," but local size and species regulations still apply—the captain can advise on legal retention.
Is the trip suitable for children and wheelchair users?
The operator lists wheelchair and stroller accessibility and accommodates infants (must sit on laps); check boarding arrangements for specific mobility needs.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The cancellation policy allows a full refund if you cancel 24+ hours in advance; the operator may still run in light wind—confirm same-day if conditions look poor.
