A High-Performance Boat with Sophisticated Comfort

Starting your journey aboard the Technohull GrandSport 38, you’re instantly struck by the boat’s sleek design and comfort. With triple 300 HP engines, this vessel delivers a silky smooth ride—we appreciated how stable and powerful it felt, even when cruising at high speed across the bay. The deep-V hull design ensures a stable, dry ride, which is especially comforting if you’re prone to seasickness or prefer a smooth journey.

The boat’s interior is no less impressive, boasting plush, comfortable seats and sun pads that beckon you to lounge and enjoy the scenery. The premium sound system adds a touch of luxury, whether you’re listening to your favorite tunes or just soaking in the tranquility of the bay.

Personalized Route and Flexible Timing

One of the main advantages of this private tour is its tailored approach. Your captain, whose service includes seamless attention from greeting to docking, will craft the itinerary based on your preferences. Whether you want to spend more time at certain stops or skip others, the captain can adapt.

The tour typically includes a cruise past Venetian towns, with an emphasis on the Verige Strait, a narrow, striking waterway separating two parts of the bay. You’ll get to capture stunning photos of Perast and the legendary Our Lady of the Rocks island—a tiny monastery and museum built on a man-made islet.

You can also choose to pause for swimming in secluded, crystal-clear coves, which are often too small or inaccessible for larger tour boats. The water here is glass-clear and inviting, perfect for a refreshing dip or snorkeling.

Highlights of the Experience

Cruising the Bay: The boat’s speed allows you to cover more ground in less time, giving you sweeping views of the bay’s most iconic sights. We loved the way the boat could effortlessly glide past historic towns and dramatic cliffs.
Swim Stops: Our favorite part was anchoring in a quiet, private cove for a swim. The water is so clear that you almost feel like you’re floating in a giant aquarium, and the privacy makes the experience more intimate than crowded beaches or boat tours.
Champagne and Luxury Service: Imagine sipping champagne on a plush sun pad, with panoramic views all around. The chilled towels and seamless service make the entire experience feel indulgent yet relaxed.
Flexibility and Extras: Want to dine at a waterfront restaurant afterward? Your captain can help with reservations. Need a pickup from your hotel? Just ask—these arrangements are available on request.
