Private Boat with Skipper in Vlore — the Bay All to Yourselves

There is a moment in every Vlore holiday when a group realises that a private boat is not a luxury: it is simply the right maths. Six to eight people, one group price, and Albania's most beautiful bay arranged entirely around you. This page explains exactly how it works.

The two options, in plain terms

Private bay tour (from €400 per group): a boat with skipper for your group only, free itinerary within Vlore bay — Sazan Island, the Haxhi Ali Cave, Karaburun's beaches, with swim stops where and for as long as you want. Flexible duration (half day or more), departure time of your choice. The perfect option for families and groups of up to 8–12 people depending on the boat.

Private Grama Bay (from €805 per group): the full day along the entire Karaburun coast to the most spectacular cove in Albania, with the stops at Dafina Bay, Brusan Bay and the Lloraja Pass decided by you: more beach time at Grama, more swimming at Dafina, photo stops where other tours never pause. It is the booking groups remember as the best day of the holiday.

What is included

• Boat and local skipper dedicated exclusively to your group
• Itinerary and timing agreed with you before and during the tour
• Swim and snorkel stops wherever you like — the skipper knows the coves group tours skip
• Life jackets in all sizes, complete safety equipment
• Boarding from the Vlore promenade (or from Radhimë/Orikum if you stay south)

Why it is worth it (the honest maths)

The shared tour costs from €25–80 per person. A family of 5 therefore pays €125–400 to sit on a boat with twenty other passengers and fixed schedules. The private bay tour starts from €400 total: same money, but the boat is yours alone, the skipper adapts to the pace of children or grandparents, and every stop lasts as long as you decide. Above 5–6 people the private boat almost always wins; below, it depends on how much freedom is worth to you. Tell us your number and we will do the exact maths.

How to book in 5 minutes

We reply with the available boat, the skipper, the boarding point and the exact price — usually within five minutes.
