Description
The tour starts at the meeting point next to Budva Old Town in Budva Marina. The boat heads east, passing Slovenska Beach, Becici, Rafailovici, Kamenovo, Przno, and Queen's Beach, known for Queen's Chair where Queen Marija enjoyed sunsets over Budva Bay.
Next, the boat stops at Milocer Beach, offering views of former Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito's private residence and gardens where Novak Djokovic held his wedding. The route continues around the Sveti Stefan peninsula, a luxury hotel once frequented by international celebrities.
Drobni Pijesak Beach, with white sand and deep water, is a typical first swimming stop. The boat then crosses the southern side of Saint Nicola's Island en route to Ploce Beach, where guests can experience the local beach party atmosphere.
On the return journey, the boat visits Trsteno Beach for a second swimming break, then passes Jaz Beach, Mogren Two, Mogren One, Avala Hotel beach, Hotel Astoria beach, and the southern side of Budva Old Town's walls, before ending at Budva Marina.
The vessel, named 'MARIOLO,' is a sturdy oak and pine wooden boat registered for 43 passengers plus 2 crew members, offering greater stability than comparable plastic boats.
