Booking and paying

6 questions
Do I pay online?

No. Nothing is charged online. You send a request, we confirm by WhatsApp, and you pay on board on the day, in cash or by card.

How do I book?

Fill in the form on the home page and send it to us on WhatsApp, or just write to us or call. We answer the same day, usually much faster.

When are my places actually held?

Once we reply. Until then the request is only a request, so wait for the confirmation before you plan the day round it.

Can I book for today?

If today's departure has not left yet, yes. Call rather than write, it gets to us quicker.

What if I have to cancel?

Tell us as soon as you know. Nothing has been charged, so there is nothing to refund and nothing to argue about.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, on board. Cash works too.

The day

9 questions
Does Katica sail every day?

Six days a week. There is no departure on Saturday, when Katica rests and the crew get their day.

How long is the day?

Between six and nine hours, depending on the route. Monday is the shortest, 10:00 to 16:00. Friday is the long one, 09:00 to 18:00.

What time do we get back?

By 16:00 on Monday, 17:00 on Thursday and Sunday, 17:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 18:00 on Friday.

Where does the boat leave from?

From Šetalište Pine in Tivat, the waterfront promenade, in front of Hotel Astoria. Look for the red and white boat.

Can I get on somewhere other than Tivat?

Some routes pick guests up in Bijela or on the Herceg Novi side. Ask when you book and we will tell you whether your day does.

Do we go ashore?

Yes. Forty minutes on the island at Gospa od Škrpjela on every route of the week, and on most days an hour or more in Perast or Kotor as well.

Do you go to the Blue Cave?

No. Katica sails the Bay of Kotor itself, and the Blue Cave is outside it, round on the open sea side of the Luštica peninsula. If a cave is what you came for, ours is the wrong boat and we would rather say so than sell you the wrong day.

Do we stop at Our Lady of the Rocks?

Every route of the week does, for forty minutes ashore. Gospa od Škrpjela is the church on the man made island off Perast, and it is the one stop all six days have in common.

Which day should I pick?

Take Tuesday for the longest time in Kotor, Thursday or Sunday for the swim, Friday for the longest day on the water, Monday if you only have half of one.

Lunch

4 questions
Is lunch included?

With a seat with lunch, yes: lunch, dessert and a drink. A seat only, without lunch, is also available at a lower price.

What is for lunch?

Fish, cooked on board during the crossing and served at the table, with dessert and a drink after it.

Someone in my group doesn't eat fish.

Tell us when you book and we will sort something out for them.

Can I take a seat without lunch?

Yes. A seat without lunch is 20 € for anyone thirteen and over, 10 € from six to twelve, and free under six.

Children, groups and the whole boat

3 questions
What do children pay?

Children under six travel free, and their lunch is 7 €. From six to twelve a seat is 10 €, or 15 € with lunch. From thirteen it is the adult price.

Is there room for a big group?

Yes. Families, groups of friends and whole agency groups all sail on the ordinary departures. Tell us the numbers when you book.

Can I hire the whole boat?

Yes. Weddings, birthdays, company days. Tell us the date and how many you are and we will send a quote.

On the day

4 questions
What if the weather turns?

We call you the evening before on the number you booked with, and we find you another day.

What should I bring?

Swimwear and a towel on the swim days, a hat and sunscreen for the top deck. There is shade on the lower deck if you want it.

Is there shade?

Yes. The lower deck has shade and a seat at a table. The top deck is open to the sun. You can move between them whenever you like.

How early should I be at the quay?

A little before the boarding time. Boarding is from 10:00, and from 09:00 on Wednesday and Friday. Katica leaves on time.

One more thing

If it is not written down, we have not answered it yet

This site says what we know: the quay, the timetable, the routes, the prices and what is on the table at lunch. Where it is silent, that is on purpose rather than by accident.

So if you need to know something about the boat or the day that you cannot find here, it is worth asking rather than assuming. Call or write and you will get the real answer.
