Local Insight:The iconic Our Lady of the Rocks islet in Boka Bay is entirely man-made. For over 500 years, passing sailors upheld a vow to drop a rock after each successful voyage, gradually creating the island and its stunning church—a true monument to maritime tradition.

Boka Bay isn’t just beautiful—it’s a strategic masterpiece. For centuries, empires from Venice to Austria built fortresses like Herceg Novi’s Kanli Kula to control this natural harbor. Today, you can sail past these stone sentinels, hearing tales of pirates, traders, and naval battles.

The narrow Verige Strait is the bay’s most dramatic natural point. Here, the mountains seem to touch the water, creating a breathtaking gateway. Ancient sailors believed it was the entrance to a mythical kingdom, and even today, passing through by boat feels like entering another world.

From the deck of your boat, you’ll witness a living museum. Every cove has a story, every fortress a legend. You’re not just sightseeing—you’re tracing the routes of Venetian galleons, Austro-Hungarian frigates, and local fishermen who built this unique maritime culture.
