boat hire in Tivat · Sea Star — Sport Star (2023)

Guys, if you don’t have regular experience being on a motor yacht, I don’t recommend dealing with this boat owner. Even if you have licenses and occasionally spend time on the water, they will force you to take a captain on board — or you’ll lose your money. That’s exactly what happened to us. The captain, by the way, was awesome. No problems at all. Great guy — he showed us the Bay of Kotor, took us to a good restaurant where we had a nice meal. Absolutely no complaints about him — super cap! Big thanks to him. As for the owner — total disrespect.

We have rented boats in many different countries, but this was by far the worst experience we have had. This guy is disrespectful and likes to control everything. He uses GPS to track your location and speed all day, and constantly sends messages about what you can and can't do. This makes it impossible to enjoy a relaxed day with the family. The boat was not clean or well-maintained. It was built in 2023, but looked more like it was 10 years old. When I raised various issues, they tried to tell me that this is normal and how it is produced. The anchor is far too small for the size of the boat. There is no chain on it, and the anchor line was completely worn and knotted. It is impossible to anchor the boat in a relaxed way and the anchor does not hold, even in the lightest wind. The fresh water tank was not filled. But the worst thing was the lack of respect and customer orientation. Any problems with the boat's functionality are dismissed with total arrogance and presented as an inability to use the boat. There are constant threats of additional cleaning costs and withholding the deposit. The icing on the cake is that he mocks you with third parties in the local language, assuming that you don't understand it. I never want to experience a boat hire like this again.

Very good boat that allowed us to explore the Bay of Kotor during the day with an anchorage at the sandy beach "Plavi Horizonti". The boat is in excellent condition. We consumed about 60 liters of fuel for the day. Radivoj's advice was spot on regarding the timing of refueling. At 1700, 5 boats were ahead of us at the station.
