• We recommend arriving at the port of Kotor at least 1 hr before departure, especially during the summer, as check-in and border-control procedures are required before boarding.
• If you're planning to return to Montenegro, it's best to book your Dubrovnik - Kotor ferry tickets in advance, as this seasonal route can sell out during peak season.
• If you're prone to seasickness, choose a seat near the middle of the catamaran, where movement is usually less noticeable. On windy days, you may also want to consult your pharmacist or doctor about motion sickness medication before traveling.
