boat hire in Herceg Novi · Hanse — Hanse 400e (2008)

If you're looking for a truly special sailing experience, choosing Llija should be your first choice. From the very first enquiry, everything was smooth, professional, and welcoming. Llija is not only an excellent skipper, but also a knowledgeable guide and gracious host. We were a group of six English ladies with high expectations, and this trip exceeded all of them. Pre-booking questions were answered quickly and clearly, which gave us confidence from the start. We met at Lazure Marina, and our journey took us out of Boka Bay and along the coast to a tranquil bay where we swam, snorkelled, and relaxed in beautiful surroundings. Later, we enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant recommended and booked for us by Llija. The area is a perfect blend of stunning landscapes, picturesque beaches, and fascinating history. Llija strikes the perfect balance—he’s engaging and happy to share interesting facts about Montenegro, but also knows when to give guests space to enjoy their time. He truly "reads the room" well. What was meant to be a day trip turned into a longer experience because we were simply having the best time. This was the absolute highlight of our holiday, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. We would most definitely return for another adventure with Llija if we come back to Montenegro.

Ilija was the best and our trip was amazing. The boat was great and we visited many places that we would not have found on our own and had many authentic and incredible experiences and meals. We can’t wait to come back and highly highly recommend.

We had a great day at the sea. We rented the boat for one day and it was a really nice experience. The wind was in our favour so we had an opportunity to sail almost the whole day. Ilija has great knowledge about the area and about sailing so we learned cool things along the way. The water was perfect for jumping and swimming and the bay has great spots to do so. We enjoyed it!

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Ilija on his boat! My family and I enjoyed every moment of the trip. Ilija was an excellent host, very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained. We highly recommend Ilija to anyone looking for a wonderful boating experience. Thank you, Ilija, for making our day so special!

Three days sailing was just great. We wanted to see Montenegro and the Bay of Kotor without the crowds, and this was perfection. The boat is moored in a beautiful, fully featured marina with a restaurant, cafe, and beach. Each day we explored some part of the area with waterfront views of the medical towns in the bay, beautiful cruising, nice wind. Ilya is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. He chose excellent restaurants each evening- like nothing we would have found for ourselves. The berths can be hot at night, so be prepared to hang out on deck until it cools off or go to a late dinner.

An amazing captain and a beautiful boat. 7 hours went by super quick with the relaxing ride and stunning views. A wonderful way to spend the day in the Bay of Kotor! :)

Ilija was a great captain and host! Good communication leading up to our departure and we had a great day out cruising Kotor Bay. Ilja put together a great itinerary for us to explore local sites and learn about the region. After a lovely lunch we had a nice trip back to Lazore as sunset began. Really magical. Highly recommend!
