The route, stop by stop

Every route of the week leaves from the same quay in Tivat and comes back to it. This is where Thursday goes in between.

What Thursday is like

A full hour in the water, before lunch.

Thursday is built round the swim. Katica goes west to the open half of the bay, stops, and stays stopped for an hour. There is a ladder off the stern and nothing to be late for until everyone is back aboard.

Lunch follows immediately, which is the right order. You come out of the water, you sit down, and the boat is already under way east while you eat.

The afternoon is forty minutes on the island and then Kotor. Sunday sails this same route, so if Thursday is full the week has a second go at it.

Compare it with the other five days

Where Thursday stops

Not a guidebook. Just what is there and how long there is to look at it.

On the Herceg Novi side

The swimming stop

Katica stops and stays stopped for a full hour. There is a ladder off the stern and nothing to be late for until everyone is back aboard. Thursday and Sunday.

Gospa od Škrpjela, off Perast

Our Lady of the Rocks

The church stands on an island that nature never made. Boatmen built the ground under it by dropping stones beside a reef, season after season, until there was enough of it to build on. Forty minutes is the time it takes to walk round the outside, go in, and come back out to look down the bay before the boat leaves. Every route of the week stops here.

Inside the walls

Kotor

The old town is packed into the corner where the bay ends and the mountain starts, and the walls run straight up the rock behind it. Tuesday gives you an hour and a half, long enough to get past the first square and into the lanes behind it. Monday, Thursday and Sunday come in as well, and agency guests leave the boat here.
