Itinerary

Step aboard your own private boat and set off on a peaceful cruise across the stunning waters of Lake Skadar — a journey filled with breathtaking scenery, hidden corners of Montenegro, and refreshing drinks served just for you. Your experience begins in the quaint fishing village of Virpazar, where our friendly team will greet you and guide you through an easy check-in before you board our traditional wooden boat, reserved entirely for you and your group.

As we glide away from the dock, you’ll be welcomed by the striking views of the Albanian Alps and Vranjina Island, their silhouettes rising dramatically above the lake, especially beautiful when enjoyed in total privacy and comfort. Our first highlight takes us to the iconic Lesendro Fortress, often called the “Key of Lake Skadar.” This timeworn structure stands proudly in the middle of the lake, a quiet reminder of Montenegro’s storied history. From there, we head into one of Lake Skadar’s most remarkable natural treasures: its bird sanctuary, home to over 280 bird species. Whether you’re into photography, birdwatching, or simply soaking up nature’s beauty, this peaceful part of the lake offers a one-of-a-kind experience — made even more special when shared only with those you’ve chosen to travel with. And as you cruise through, enjoy a glass of local wine, thoughtfully served on board.

On the way back, take your time to admire the tranquil shoreline and enjoy the stillness of the moment. If the weather invites, we’ll pause for a refreshing swim in the lake’s clear waters — the perfect way to unwind and round off your exclusive private escape on Lake Skadar.
