Your Captain

Meet Vasilije.
Your Guide.

I'm Vasilije, and Skadar Lake is my home. For 7+ years I've guided guests across these waters with my uncle Pavle, and I know every hidden channel, quiet bay, and the best spots most visitors never find. Book with us and you don't just get a boat ride — you get a local friend who genuinely loves this place and can't wait to show it to you.

What Our
Guests Say

"Absolutely unmissable. Doing the Lake Skadar boat trip is best from Rijeka Crnojevića, as it's nicer to start from the river side. We booked our trip even before we flew to Montenegro and Vasilije responded quickly and provided all the information on the various options and prices we needed to make a decision. Any follow up questions were also answered with detail and patience. Vasilije is very friendly and knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time on the trip. We really felt we saw a lot of the river and lake. He also made sure our kids could have a little swim and our son could even drive the boat for a while. Altogether it was an unforgettable experience (also important: definitely value for money) and I can highly recommend Vasilije!"
